Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Sorry, no DEI for old ppl. What corporation much less one in Texas with share holders has guaranteed employment? Huh?

@br map can't even keep our SharePoint running....about sums it up for their quality of work...or lack there of. Icing on the cake, VP of it posted a pic of himself in front of smart vending machine at campus boasting about their innovation....puke

Just increase severance pay with experience and I’m good

@b3 Please. My institutional knowledge is holding up just fine. AI isn't ready yet, and neither are the MSPs. They've got another year or two to figure it out, and that's all we need. Then we're out of here. AI and cheap labor? That's your problem, not mine.

So you wants today’s first and second line leaders more responsibility?

Remove forced ranking....and all will be good.

Rank based on goals achieved. Beginning of the year, set goals with your sup, define what deemed as success. Sign off on goals and measure of success require 2 up approval. End of year, review goals on agreed upon scoring.

@ag will see how your institutional knowledge and network fare against BTC, AI and cheap labor pal

@a4 I topped out on pay last year and still worked hard and received outstanding this year, so it is possible that people will still work hard.

@a4 Plenty of NREs coasted their final years. That was practically the norm. And they also served as shock absorbers for the ranking system. They willingly absorbed the bottom spots, allowing younger employees to advance while keeping teams intact.

Now that protection is gone, so is the incentive to take one for the team. Those NREs aren't going down without a fight. You wanted competition? Congratulations, you've got it.

And some arrogant college noob, with zero experience, is about to discover what happens when he competes against someone with decades of institutional knowledge, established relationships, and a network he doesn't even know exists.

The veterans were graciously sitting out the competition. Now they're back in the game. Good luck.

I love the current ranking systems.

It convinced me I need to retire at 55 and get out of the hellhole. I’ll take my 30+ years of service and millions of dollars and enjoy it elsewhere.

Best of luck XOM. I’m sure the bootlickers and foreign hacks can field the void of actual experience. LMAO

Oh yeah nobody would just stop working entirely once they knew they were “safe” 🙄.

This is exactly why NRE protections were removed. People just coasting their last few years.
