Literally can’t sleep at night. I joined XOM last March and didnt have the MAC one, so it’s my first ranking experience. From what I’m seeing in posts here and hearing in the office, people seem surprised by being PIPed and say the outcomes are predetermined. Is that actually how it works? Do most people experience the same thing?

I have a different perspective based on what one of my managers shared with me: they know who their lowest relative performer is at similar role/CL levels. In assessments, unless there is glaringly missed expectations and skill level, many often go in with "Good" and the room discusses relative tie-points and differentiators to flush out NI, and then subsequently NSI from that group.
100%. Your management is given targets and tends to leverage individuals who don't impact their delivery to maintain the base. If you are at threat for PIP, just realize that you have more value outside of XOM than in. Start looking and leave on your terms.
Yes mine was doomed from the start. You can tell if they are for you or against you.
Yes they are predetermined
