CAP Plan

I’m going to say what a lot of people are thinking but no one is saying out loud.

Why is “CAP” suddenly being mentioned in almost every group meeting lately?

We’re repeatedly told “it’s not a bad thing,” but historically, CAP has been used as documentation that leads to performance write-ups and eventually layoffs. So let’s be honest—what exactly changed, and why the sudden focus now?

It’s hard not to notice the pattern. The targets keep moving, expectations keep increasing, and the goals feel more and more disconnected from the reality of the actual workload. The people setting these expectations aren’t the ones doing the job every day, under the same pressure, with the same volume, and the same constraints.

At some point, calling it “support” while simultaneously increasing pressure starts to feel less like development and more like positioning.

People deserve honesty, not reassurance that doesn’t align with what they’re experiencing in real time.

So I’ll ask directly:
Is this truly about helping employees improve, or is this the early stage of workforce reduction being framed differently?

Transparency matters. People can handle the truth. What’s hard to handle is feeling managed out while being told everything is fine.


Coaching Plan (the nice way to say PIP)

I was placed on a formal coaching plan and, despite making progress, did not reach the final performance threshold. Now waiting to see what comes next, hopeful for an extension to continue building momentum. Anyone else have feedback on how coaching plans pan out if you don’t meet all of the requirements?


WTF is my performance plan? Have they forgot or don't care.

I am still waiting for my dpc plan. I asked again and was told they were working on it. Everyone else is doing theirs now and are 2 weeks into it. Either exxon doesn't care or they are letting me fail purposely. I would like to see what the he-l they want me to do. I really want to improve my performance and be a more valuable employee to the company NOT. I just to get this s heet over with and see what torture they have planned for me. Is anyone else still waiting?
