I just heard from one of my young friends that he was PIPd. 4.5 years first time in NI. His supervisor said anyone in NI less than 5 years experience is automatically moved to NSI. Can others confirm this is true?

CL28 + Technical = NSI
Funny how there was a time when people looked forward to CL promotions. Now it just guarantees your ranking will drop. Especially if you moves into a new rank group.
Worried about GP lack of projects
Several big projects coming online with GP staff demobilizing and nothing for them to do. Next year’s assessment is going to be a bloodbath for these GP people who have nothing to work on.
So many resognations
LinkedIn is full of resignations and I’ve seen people this week immediately pack up and walk out when told they were NSI. Is the #EXXODUS about to pick up again?

That's all!
Better Operators (O&G, Petchem, Industrial Gases)
With the number of people here citing concerns with Exxon work culture, any better alternatives in this space? Chevron is also cutting jobs. Any employers that stand out in the Houston region?

If you watched the 3 DW videos on the internal homepage, the 2nd video sounded like we are in store for an enterprise wide overhaul to be announced by the end of the year?
How many jobs are you applying to each week during your search?
I’ve been sending out 20 to 30 applications, but it’s starting to feel pointless, like no one’s even seeing them. The job market is brutal right now. Is this just a matter of persistence, or is there something else I’m missing?
