Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Change your approach

People who give it their all at work and then complain they're not rewarded for it with promotions, you need to change your approach. This is Exxon. Here you need to work smart, not work hard. If you finish all of your work and everything else your manager keeps adding to your plate, why in the world would he or she want to lose you by giving you a promotion? No, they're going to make sure you stay exactly where you are so you can continue to make them look good.

Instead, work only as much as you have to (this way they also don't see you as a threat) and make sure to always agree with your manager (even when they're wrong.) As I said already, work smart, and then maybe you'll get ahead.

Haha, tote the line. Believe in the company! Separate yourself from the pack and work well in teams. Be so perfect everyone thinks you have magic, now thats how you become outstanding with distinction

The situation described here seems right of Imperial Oil's playbook. Incompetent, play it safe a$$ ki$$ers making the big bucks on the sweat and hard work of naive, honest employees. No wonder the house of cards built in oil sands is fast collapsing. Wondering when all the gory details of discrimination, institutional racism, harrassment etc. will come out of the wood work?

Take it from an "Old Timer," working your fingers to the bone only gets you bony fingers.

Reality check: The $u-k ups & F - Ups will get ahead of you in every organization....not just at XOM.

Sorry, it's just an unwritten law of the universe!

That is correct. Excelling in your base work only gets you to NSI. Make sure you sharpen your nose and stick it in and get it all brown. Now that’s Outstanding!
