So I have heard that Staale has mandated maximizing the NI / NSI categories. How can we have 18% of our employees who just don’t meet expectations; this is 1) a layoff by another name or 2) a senior leadership problem because they are ones who responsible for developing our workforce…

Staale made EM great again and will make it even greater-er! Everything he touches becomes gold! We call him Midas.
NSI or bust!
Stale suffers from little man syndrome.
Has there been any communication about it being increased to 18%? Also, who’s more at risk — the newer hires or the longer-tenured employees?
You talking about this supply Chain group that came on Jan 1 of this year. Be careful when dealing with this group, you may wind up in the gulag.
I suspect this guidance came from the very top, not from Staale alone - and probably applies to every assessment group.
Staale is the worst leader at EM if going off the “Expectation of Leaders” He is trying so hard to make it to MC he will burn everything in his way and of course people will follow him because they have a mortgage. This is how the toxic culture manifests
Haha , it's true about the inbred EM management. Their HiPo succession model is based on outdated quasi-military management styles and keeps repeating itself. No innovation, new thinking, new markets, zilch. The responsebis just to hammer OPEX. No wonder the stock price su-ks.
We are several decades behind Amazon in efficiently managing our supply-chain. Welcome to the "hammer" style of management to catch up to all other companies. Amazon supply chain mangement is #1 in optimized supply-chain.
As the former CEO of Mobil Oil told all employees in circa 1993, "All we can control is our OPEX."
It has taken 30+ years for ExxonMobil's CEO to embrace and rapidly adopt Mobil's CEO blanket statement in the 21st Century.
Supply Chain promised to deliver billions in cost savings, when you haven't done so in the areas it makes sense you go after HC.
Our management does not have the creativity or the skill to grow the business. Cuts, layoffs and asset sales will continue until there is nothing left of this once great company. They do not have the skill that would be required to grow the business and keep HC10 employees contributing. Instead they have settled for a smaller and weaker company staffed with the lowest cost and short term employees.
