The essential problem here is, Exxon managers think the success of the company so far, is mainly dependent on the quality and the managers' contribution from their "winning" behaviors.

THIS IS WRONG.

In 2020 there was a very short duration of self reflection and self doubt about the systems and values that this company has held up to, however, that didnt last long due to the soaring crude price. Again, came back to the old style.

To make things worse, they are enforcing the Winning behaviors that made the company more successful.

Okay, enough liao.

You know the game very well, Low CL ranks Hight, Hight CL ranks Low. Eventually all the high CL left. Expensive to keep many high CL. This cycles will goes round and round till…TMTS started to take off. This is a dog eats dog world, everyone is keeping something under their sleeves for EADS. Run before recession come when many companies stopped hiring.

oh wait, as the senior, i also want to have a role model, who do I look out for as a guidance. SLS will tell you your DTL, your complex but those people are already on cruising and quiet quitting mode.

And most importantly, how am I the senior if the juniors' CL are all catching up on me?

All these comments sound so similar.

You are a senior, you have to contribute on a larger scale
You have to initiate new ideas for improvement
You have to take the lead
Your behavior has to be right, the juniors look up to you etc etc

But they forget that you are doing a base engineer work because too many people left last 2 years and you are a senior who is most suitable to cover. And how does the SLS help you? Rank you down so you will leave on your own while they hire newbies. GI mindset, cut cost for the company.

I heard that to cater to the many that are stuck long long at CL25 (senior), or CL27 (complex), they are creating new positions to allow moving up to CL26 or CL28. And no need to take a SH or DH position some more!
Can meh?
Which SH or DH will promote you to same rank as them?

Me told the same thing too. Am CL25, so if I’m doing same as another CL24/23, they will be assessed higher than me - ONLY BECAUSE I am more senior in the CL22-25 PA cohort.
Not only must do more work, must also take the lead in problem solving team meetings.
Must be the one to point direction for the team, not take orders to do the work.
Then who do?
Need to come up with more fresh ideas to make more money. Need to think outside the box, work smarter.
So kana NSI lor!
Looks like I’ll be stuck in CL25 for a long long long time. So time to move on. Adios!

You’re a senior in this role, ba ba ba… you need to perform more. I was like What?!!! Therefore my ranking dropped. Outstanding reserved for junior. Hack care now onwards, on auto pilot mode.

the hard truth. Mid 30s here, CL stuck at 24. Was performing well in the first few years until newbies came along.

Aiyah all the Comm sessions nowsaday is only engage the rank and file lah, to boost morale and hopefully, to cap the high attrition rate and the painful regretted losses.
They know they have lost the plot already, after the 2020 mass PIL and layoffs.
The majority of younger employees have lost confidence in the company completely, not to want to set up a long term career n EM.
Any better opportunity outside and they quit!
They realise that PIP will continue to haunt and stress them up, year after year.
It’s a never ending rat race, like a hamster running on a circular treadmill.
You complete one PA cycle, there is always the next to face.
You need to keep up with the pace of continuous improvement and your boss demanding expectations.
By the time you become a senior, you will be compared to the younger CL levels - so what you have been doing same is no longer good enuf.
You then slide down the PA categories, all the way to NI, then NSI - then kana PIP.
Wave after wave, every year must get good KO inputs, score points, back stab, carry ball$.
As you age, 30, then 40, then 50. Same old game you have to play to survive this reality RPG in real-time. Make one major mistake and it’s game over. No more promotions for you, until retirement.

Useless com session one after one.
Engage, fxxxk lah.

Shell gave out 8% revenue to compensate employees, when EM manager talked about it-that was all because Shell cut employee salary in the pas they are benchmarking it back. WTF?????

Well, maybe, they cut pay so as to survive, but Exxon cut people by insulting them with PIP, to save cost ad avoid severance packages.

Now, guys, now you tell me, who the fxxk is worse?

  • The company expanded the minimum number of employees that must be classified as "Needs Significant Improvement," or NSI, in the annual review cycle.
  • Some of those employees are forced to resign or early retirement. Others have the option to enroll in a performance improvement plan.
  • Current and former employees said that Exxon is obscuring layoffs in performance-based cuts.

@bxahy+16zEvLP3 Agree with you. That's why I just do the bare minimum to get by. Why should I put in more effort than necessary if the company is just going to reward shareholders and execs instead of me?

Is this a surprise that shareholders and investors are placed high on the list while employees are at the bottom? So do we still buy the lie ? There are many still buy the lie and sticking around telling themselves they wldnt be the ones to be put under the bus… another 3 -5yrs …. When all are getting older , u still see what happen . Meanwhile , I am spending my evening , applying for jobs. Wish me good luck

Every comm session, I pity all SGCX MCs for convincing employees how EM cares about employees. Rebuilding the trust??? All employees trust that EM cares about shareholders, investors and executives during good time and bad time compared to other companies.

i do hope for recession and retrenchment. i do not have any debt except housing loan, no car, no kids, no liability. I hope XOM goes back to 30 usd just so to see the black face in the office. Not a rich person to begin with, but i have no issue spending less than most of the rich people in the company. Bring it on.

@bvwau+16zEvLP3. Recession and retrenchment ? Why not ? But those on pip list will be first to be thrown under the bus . If the recession is deep , then it’s retrenchment . That’s likely to be the strategy no need high paying executives to think of such. Why do u think EM merges F&L and chemical? What synergy is there except rationalisation of manpower. Other than that do u see any synergy? Next round cut will likely be CL 28 and 29 . The executives will save their as#**. Base on track record every 5 -6yrs one major shakeup or earthquake. Build your passive income streams and brace up for turbulence. Commodity cycle always goes thru bo-m and bust except the cycle is getting shorter . Good luck to us .

A LCM who no longer commands respect from her country men , I don’t understand what’s her point of staying . She shd have the decency to bow out and retire . Since she is super rich why hang around ? We don’t need her bec whether she stays or not doesn’t make a difference . Have the dignity and conscience to step down that’s the least you can do for your country men. Let someone who has the heart and real leadership to reconstruct and lead the company .

LCM is just an ugly to the point that it is funny clown. It is a position houston create to have a buffer between sg and houston. Anything happens in sg, finger will points at lcm. Not houston. Paid to take heat and nothing else.

LCM remote working while we cannot WFH because we are in manufacturing. Inflation doesn't affect her since she could be in thailand or indonesia.

You just keep doing your morning meetings, afternoon meetings and stewardship with your SLS.

*At that time Nokia suffered from organisational fear;
*The organisational fear was grounded in a culture of temperamental leaders and frightened middle managers;
*The middle management was scared of telling the truth because they feared being fired;
*Top managers were afraid of the external environment and not meeting their quarterly targets;
*Executives were afraid to publicly acknowledge the inferiority of Symbian, Nokia’s operating system;
*They knew it would take several years to develop a better operating system that could compete with Apple’s iOS;
*Top executives were afraid of losing investors, suppliers and customers if they acknowledged their technological inferiority to Apple;
*Top managers intimidated middle managers by accusing them of not being ambitious enough to meet their goals;
*Top management was lied to by middle management who felt telling the truth was useless;
*Top managers lacked technical competence which influenced how they could assess technological limitations during goal setting; by comparison, the top engineers at Apple were all engineers;
*Instead of allocating resources to the achievement of long-term goals such as developing a new operating system, Nokia management decided to develop new phone devices for short-term market demands.

MBA Case Study - When explaining Nokia’s fall many observers found three reasons:

  1. Nokia’s technology was inferior to Apple’s;
  2. The arrogance among top-level managers;
  3. Lack of vision.
