Chevron is doing something similar. I am starting to think the CEOs all get together and agree what to cut so that the benchmarking becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
What happens if you're pregnant now? Do I need to rush to tell my mgr about this like some kind of medical preexisting condition to lock in the heritage benefit? Thanks exxon, congrats on the record breaking profits today
Use your leave before they take it away. Study recommendations include canceling any unused leave. Use it or lose it. Study recommendations could be acted on quickly once a decision is made. Try to use all before the end of first quarter 2027
Agree this benefit needs to go. Too hard to manage with a reduced local headcount
@cn are only Mormons having kids now?
@ck LoL U Mormon bro?
I got 4 kids since 2019… too late XOM :((( Good game, well played
@OP Good. Being a parent is a lifestyle choice. No reason for the employer to pay for it.
If you can’t afford to have kids…don’t have them.
When did they introduce this program btw ? Was it like around 2018 ? Also everyone before that got a shaft and not only it was unpaid, they didn’t give any time at all - you was expected to go back to work next Monday.
What a POS company, disgrace to work for.
Median age at the company is probably early to mid 30s at this point, so targeting new parents in their child bearing years must be an awfully tempting target.
Conflicted on this one, wasn’t around when my family needed it most but then I also think this should be a right of all workers.
Not shocked that HR is looking at cutting benefits further. They’ll end up saying something like our benefit package is competitive. There was a time they actually cared about our benefits being attractive to retain talent.
It figures that the one of the only policies at XOM that is actually an incentive would be on the cusp of getting cut
The parental leave policy is the only HR policy item in which I have had pride in the last 10 years.
