ExxonMobil reviews

Just recently laid off thousands of US Employees (myself included) while they continue to hire in growing numbers each year from India and Brazil. They are pivoting their IT roles to a more foreign base and reducing their US numbers each year. My supervisor and their manager had no idea I was going to be laid off until the evening before, and when they tried to stop it from happening they had no power. Upper management calls the shots, regardless of your contributions. Annual employee reviews/rankings are not accurate or based on the amount you've contributed to the company. You can develop solutions that save the company hundreds of thousands of dollars per year over your other team members and still be ranked in the bottom third for their own reasons which are unclear. You are also ranked against a large number of other teams that should not be ranked against each other due to their differences. For example, they will rank support teams against project teams, and all of the project teams will always rank higher than the support team members because of the money saved/provided from the projects vs the support teams requests that don't generally make the company any more money. Depending on your supervisor, they will ask what role you would like to do next (for the next rotation period) and put you in something completely unrelated that was not what you communicated. This happened two different times while I was with the company (supervisor kept putting me in support roles when I had expressed interest in development/coding, even after developing multiple projects that demonstrated the necessary skillset). Most supervisors are outside the US, and have a tendency to rank their country's team members above you. This was the case for 2 out of my 3 supervisors.
