It’s very clear from this promotion planning, that XOM only cares for you if your a CL38+ POT. If you 34 POT, you don’t matter whatever you think. Your career will be fine but you will watch all the great jobs go to the HIPOs only. It su-ks but atleat the company is being transparent. HIPO go far, non HIPO roles go to India. Jump whilst you can

It is meaningless. They have promised me many N and N+1 roles that never materialize. It is all false promises to keep you hoping there is some reward. The reward and recognition never come though. A PIP is all that is waiting for you once you are close to 50+ years old.

Nothing in here about HIPO or not. It's only about being physically in an office. At least according to this bootlicker and his AI.
So, just put on a happy face, trundle on in, and see how quickly you move up. Easy as pie.
@ap I lived this as a supervisor. Hipo was a total train wreck. Would not take feedback because she was always ranked high. Very common for hipos to be surrounded by the best people and have extra help on the org chart. They are also moved frequently so that others give them the benefit of the doubt for being new. I pushed hard once to rank a hipo as excellent andhen watched as the rank group agreed rating of excellent was changed after the meeting and Inwas punished for it.
High potential not only results in the HiPo getting the best job placement, but then even if the HiPo destroys everything it touches, it gets top ranking.
I knew a Supervisor that had to temporarily babysit a HiPo in his small group, and he placed the HiPo 3rd out of 3 and said in the ranking session that he was disappointed many times and that she was outperformed by the other two. The Manager was livid and dropped that Supervisor in his ranking for not meeting the expectation of placing the HiPo on top and only singing praises for it.
I have seen cases where the HiPo was so stupid that EM hired annuitants to actually do the job while the HiPo only did PowerPoint.
The system is rigged for outright cheating to move HiPos upward at an artificial pace, even though we all commit to following high ethics in Business Oractices.
True. I have low level executive potential but no sponsor. As a result I have been subjected to constant illogical whiplashing of my ranking. Moving from Outstanding to NI and everywhere in between with no logical explanation. I never know where I will end up.
