d-mb question but I see a lot of people talking about NRE / RE/ and when they can and can’t PIP you based on how close you are to retirement. Can someone actually explain all these details to me? I am newer but not young so very interested.

I am quite surprised by the attitude many young have towards older workers. They know a lot. Maybe different things than you know. Ypu won’t be young forever. How do you want to be treated as you age? Old and young should learn from each other.

Mid 40 s in age now and looking at next roles. Nothing of interest left. We no longer work on anything cutting edge. Expat roles no longer properly compensated. I can’t believe how far the company has fallen. There is nothing interesting left for... — read more 

Let’s stop pretending; our talents are leaving not because they don’t love，they are leaving because they are not loved. If we don’t fix our mindset, we will be exporting our brightest - absolutely free of charge…

I heard the rumor that we have put a freeze on any more Canadian expat moves? Is this true? Guyana will be f’d

All, we have heard we are shutting down India within the next year or two. CVX is taking the the top performers and we will need to look elsewhere.

NI / NSI / PIP = yearly contract renewal – Every damn year people live in fear like contractors. One bad rating and you’re out. Zero stability. • Sycophants rule – If you know how to l___ b____, you get any role you want. Skills and hard work don’t... — read more

Ok for all that don't know 12 years in and 3 years from retirement is NRE. You can be hassled, dropped in ranking, not given a raise, and nsi ed. The one thing you cant be is piped. When you reach this point just hold on and don't do anything... — read more 

It’s been like 10 mins since somebody has put up a post whining about Indians, age discrimination, or having a female boss. This is serious progress. Keep up the good work fellas.

Explain to me how employees that have been ranked well for decades suddenly become NSI?

Do the math: 10% NSI per year Automatic firing if NSI 3 out of 5 years Gotta make room for AI!

Was told my potential is low level executive but not the number. What does this translate to?

It is sad that people at this company are so horrible to each other, at every level in every corner of the corporation. What’s posted on this board isn’t even the worst of it.

The company when hired 17 years ago promised a long-term career. I performed really well initially and began moving to different jobs every 1-2 years. I always felt as soon as I really understood and could add value they rotated me. Management told... — read more

I stick to just what’s expected at work now and save my energy for my own life. Giving more to a company that would PIP you for no reason in a second isn’t worth it. It’s easier to focus on what matters outside the office.
