Advice to Pioneers

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

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.

@3aso of that is the severance package Pioneer is offering, I suggest very serious consideration for all Pioneer folks. You will never get a severance offer from ExxonMobil outside of the 3 month pay that is an option if you get PiPed. Imagine passing up 1 or 2 years pay and then getting PiPed a few months later and getting, at most, 3 months pay. Ugh.

4 weeks per year of service plus two weeks per 10k of base pay. Capped at 2 years max.

What severance is Pioneer being offered?

If offered a job requiring 50 mile relocation or offered a lower position, Mobil folks got 1 month per year up to 24 months for non Execs, and Execs got 36 months. Exxon was trying to get rid of as many Mobil Execs as possible.

Suc on my severance.

It’s called a ‘deck’
