And we are hiring people we PIPd as contractors after we PIP them! WTF!
This is messed up.

EM does not base PIP on performance so it is logical for EM to bring back a PIP victim as a contractor so can keep doing the work while HiPos focus on PowerPoint.
@nd many examples of people who were PIPd coming back as contractors with a blue badge working under Airswift or similar contracting companies.
PIP documents mention that it is possible to provide services to EM in future.
Many people only get PIPd because the EM ranking pushes over 50 employees to the bottom, not based on performance.
I was laid off due to NALI and now they hire my company as a third party to do the same job I was doing for
10s of thousands of dollars more lmao so the answer to your question is YES
No pip documentation states pipee will not seek employment with exxon or its affliates. Once piped no going back. I was piped and my agrement stated this. I would not go back anyway because of the way I was treated. I knew an emloyee that went back after he retired not piped. They treated him like a piece of shheet and put him in a toxic environment. He was the whipping boy and blamed for every mistake. He was fired as a contractor for someone elses mistake. Never go back.
@ar LMFAO I bet this happens more often than we know.
Audit is here. Who the he-l knows how this thing works? Where’s Bob?
Uh, Bob left in September two years ago when we had to reduce headcount and we told him he su-ked and was a drag to the organization.
WTF. Quick, go find Bob!
@b4 no, once they’re pip’d they can’t come back as an employee. But, stranger things have surely happened - if a manager realizes they’re paying 3X as much for that same person they might try.
But, probably not. I think you’d be a fool to go back to XOM (even if you could after a PIP, not just because you’d be back in the ranking hellhole, but you might actually be taking a pay cut!) and it probably looks better on paper to have a lower headcount.
Makes total sense to me. Have to be friends with someone though. Pipd or not it would have to be a sweet deal.
Is the company going to convert that person back to an employee?
Perhaps they have no choice but to bring in people with institutional knowledge if they don’t have it in house? Often turns out, the ones with the most institutional knowledge are the smart nerdy ones who don’t do great in rankings because they aren’t schmoozing and a-s kissing - but are actually writing processes and creating tools that people have zero idea how to use when they’re repeatedly kicked in the teeth and leave.
