Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

WE ARE ChexxronMobil!

No one at XOM gets stock options. That ended over 20 years ago.

It is a superbly toxic company which rewards and promotes the least talented and worst of humans

I'd bet that xom is bought by another major in the next 12 to 18 months...

If you're not paid with stock options, you don't understand the game. These people will avoid taxes with "Buy, Borrow, Die." While you think you understand, the whole performance system is designed to identify the win at any cost a-holes. What you think is a flaw in the system is the system. You can have your morality, and while you chip away at a loan, the rich are taking out loans and hiding behind "a loan isn't income."

Slogans are used when real leadership is absent. When you have to tell people who you are (as in 'We Are ExxonMobil'), and encourage the employees to take up the chant, it is a means of masking insecurity. The real leaders who built the company to greatness are long gone, and the present day "leaders" know they don't measure up.

We Are ExxonMobil is a cult. We are so deep into Guyana, when are they going to stock the coffee bars with purple Kool-Aid?

EM has a very strong culture - a toxic one. It is not acceptable for such a huge company like ExxonMobil, that you don't have internal job postings.As a results, it is always the same group of people that get good job assignment and exposure...Talking about transparency and meritocracy ? You can work as hard as you want, but if you don't have a sponsor, forget about making a career in this company...It is a buddy-buddy system and in performance assessment manager will always tell you that you need more visibility in order to get promoted...Puhhh...

There is NO job security at XOM anymore. I’d advise new workers to avoid this place and find somewhere else that’s stabilized and looking to move forward. XOM is like a shriveling vine.

Within The gulf cost, Arrogant, incompetent managers changing processes they no know nothing about then glad handing a blind department head. Thankfully he left with his turn around the ship cr-p. Fake pips making employees feel like rats on a sinking ship. Eventually they turn on each other. That’s the reality of this toxic culture. Can’t wait to leave this horrible place and no it wasn’t always like this.

zzj+1cO8JFm0 If you were never proud then why did you stay? Money? Can’t talk sm--k if your eating the pie.

MEGA (Make Exxonmobil Great Again). Are we winning yet?

I was never proud of EM culture. Not all of it anyway. But I thought I understood it, it was harsh yet consistent. It has been a few years now - since 2017 I think - that the message is confusing. They are talking the language of inclusivity, empowerment, openness but they are far from it. They even pretend wokeness (of course it is fake). Instead it is still command and control, with a cliquish almost approach among an inner circle of buddies (male and female), no challenge to the person above ever. Just too much BS. Frankly, I long (almost) for what I knew as the old, harsh culture. At least we knew what we were: a bunch of hard working, unapologetically arrogant, obsessively controlling a....holes!

Leading to win.

Who exactly are we competing against and what exactly are we trying to win? Senior Management Team hasn't won anything more than a United Way golf tournament.

The problems with most companies’ cultures are lying just below the surface. If Amazon or Netflix, for example, got into financial trouble overnight there would be similar grumblings among their workforce almost immediately. EM has always had these same problems but decades of financial success led most to look past it because of what they were gaining financially.

Among the higher ups, the culture has always been love of money and power. Still is.
For the others, let's call them 'work-and-file' whether MIT Chem PhD or wrenchman in Baytown, it used to be about money (not the love of) and a bit of pride.
That's the part that's gone. Probably what you reference.

WAEM is the most stupid slogan.

Have you ever seen APPLE say We are Apple? Google say we are Google?

Literally, every company would say We are X-X (company's name). Everyone would say I am X-X (insert your name here)

That's ultimately our problem isn't.

There is no culture at all, just executives running around trying to out do each other, stabbing other executives and non-executives in the back to try to preserve their own jobs and then talking about 'leadership'. What the he-l does We Are ExxonMobil even mean??? Ex-XONMobil? As in we used to be great but now we can't get our $#!T together?
