Message to ExxonMobil LinkedIn

To Whoever runs the ExxonMobil LinkedIn account,

Please, please stop thanking people for their contributions in response to their “I’m quitting this $hit show” posts. Sure, they post how great it was and all that they learned. But they only do that because unlike you, they are professionals. And they basically have to if they don’t want to post something that could negatively impact future opportunities.

Your posts reek of desperation. You have a ranking system that encourages attrition so just own it. No need to act like you have feelings and post a thank you to someone who is probably leaving because of the policies you’ve implemented. You do not “higher for careers” and people aren’t your “most valuable asset”. It is 100% a business transaction so just stop with pretending you care at all.

On behalf of everyone that reads those cringy posts.

@ag No, it's real people in P&GA cooking up that nonsense.

*hire lol

@bn Last time I did recruiting (about 3 years ago), we were told to stop saying we hire for a 30 year career. That was no longer the narrative.

So I’m not sure if you’ve seen different recently with the recruiting process or you’re referring to your experience when you were hired.

You are 100% right. The bullsh-t about hiring for a career stinks worse than the real thing. The whole place is a headcount exercise. They only want to keep you if they can control what you think and say

100%

@OP I personally think people should just start telling the truth about how these places are run on LinkedIn.

Nobody knows anything, nobody learns anything, nobody collaborates, the pay lags the cost of living, and most people don’t like who they work with. This is the truth about every job everywhere ever.

We’d like to thank you for your contributions to this matter. Please stay on the chat thread, your post is important to us. Your post should be addressed within the next seventeen minutes ….

(Music plays…)

It's a bot.

It's probably an HR intern who's being forced to reply to all those posts. It is equally cringey that all the people who are leaving post about how the are "soooo grateful!" It's like they can't turn off the brown nosing even though they got chewed up and sp-t out by EM.

Agree, those replies are cringe. I’m willing to bet a paycheck that it’s not even an employee… likely a “third party” who has no insight into how things are working (not working).
