Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

There will be a major incident but you can bet Houston won’t blame the BTC. They will find someone in the affiliate who signed off the BTC work; poor chump back in where it maybe will get the blame.

The push is to do everything at industry standard. That means you’re replaceable.

The commodity company treating employees as a commodity.

EM has never added efficiency to any company that it has purchased.

To the people at Pioneer: Get ready to explain every little piece of logic to your new EM Boss. Verbally explaining will not be sufficient, a PowerPoint One-Pager is required every time.

Your typical 5 minute discussions with a decision will become 5 days of creating a PowerPoint for your new EM Boss to present to his EM Boss-then those two id--ts that do not understand the topic will make a poor decision without you in the room.

If that decision proven to be wrong, you will be blamed for your inadequate PowerPoint slide.

You will get the NSI and the two EM bosses will move upward without learning anything.

Efficiency & Stability will come with what Pioneer does well to this merge.
Fall in line or be left behind!

To me UNCON or what was XTO mixed with this hodge podge of Xom and contractors is Valdez everyday. Budgets over. No idea of direction of work or what’s important other than production. Folks being lost in shuffle with predatory leadership. Can’t wait to see the insanity when pioneer comes on.

OP is totally correct. It wants people clever enough to operate the software, but d-mb enough to not challenge authority. 90%+ of the population unconsciously obey because they're getting paid, and being asleep is less aggravation than standing up. This is about the only thing Exxon is successful at implementing... Because it's the default position for post industrial human kind.

If EM cared about its people, it would not annually layoff 5% in a fake NSI system that daily torments probable 50% of staff.

EM then moves work to low cost persons who perform worse than the people judged NSI that they replaced.

Eventually there will be an Exxon Valdez level event and the root cause will be work performed by low cost individuals without any competent persons left to correct that low cost/low quality work.
