中國石化新聞網訊 據世界石油6月22日消息稱，據知情人士透露，埃克森美孚公司準備在未來三至五年內，通過使用績效評估系統找出表現不佳的員工，將其美國辦事處的員工人數每年減少5%至10%。
這名不愿透露姓名的知情人士說，此次裁員的目標是相對于同行而言評級最低的員工，因此不會被定性為裁員。雖然這些員工通常會接受所謂的績效改善計劃，但預計很多人最終會自行離職。該知情人士說，今年的評估正在進行中，但受影響的員工尚未收到通知。
埃克森美孚發言人Casey Norton在一封電子郵件中說：“過去幾個月，我們一直在進行年度績效評估。如果員工不能發揮他們的最高能力，他們可能需要參與改進計劃。這是一項已實施多年的年度程序，目的是提高業績。這個過程與裁員計劃無關。”
該計劃與埃克森美孚去年宣布的到2022年將在全球范圍內裁員1.4萬人的計劃無關，而且該計劃將遠遠超出原定的時間范圍。對埃克森美孚來說，這是一個動蕩的時期，該公司仍在努力應對上月年度大會的影響。當時，股東以氣候和財務問題為由拒絕了最高管理層，并更換了四分之一的董事會成員。
據公司提交的文件顯示，截至去年年底，埃克森美孚在全球擁有72,000名員工，其中40%在美國工作。

Exxon plans to annually cull up to 10% of U.S. office jobs for next several years
Exxon Mobil Corp. is preparing to reduce headcount at its U.S. offices by between 5% and 10% annually for the next three to five years by using its performance-evaluation system to suss out low performers, according to people familiar with the matter.
The cuts will target the lowest-rated employees relative to peers, and for that reason will not be characterized as layoffs, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. While such workers are typically put on a so-called performance improvement plan, many are expected to eventually leave on their own. This year’s evaluation is happening now but affected employees have not yet been notified, the people said.
“Our annual performance assessment process has been occurring over the last several months,” Exxon spokesman Casey Norton said in an email. “Where employees are not contributing to their highest ability, they may need to participate in an improvement plan. This is an annual process which has been in place for many years, and it is meant to improve performance. This process is unrelated to workforce reduction plans.”
The plan is separate from Exxon’s announcement last year that it will cut 14,000 jobs worldwide by 2022, and it would extend reductions well beyond that original time frame. It’s a tumultuous time for Exxon, which is still grappling with the fallout from last month’s annual meeting, when shareholders rebuffed top management and replaced a quarter of the company’s board over climate and financial concerns.
Exxon had 72,000 employees globally at the end of last year, of which 40% worked in the U.S., according to a company filing.
