14,000 Exxonmobil Staff To Lose Jobs Over Dwindling Oil Demand


As the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic hits global crude oil demand, a fresh indication has emerged that, no fewer than 14, 000 staff of ExxonMobil will lose their jobs.

This is coming as the corporation disclosed plans to cut its global workforce by 15% in the next two years.

According to ExxonMobil spokesman, Casey Norton, the total reduction means the company will reduce its workforce by about 14,000 people, split between employees and contractors from year-end 2019 levels. The cuts will come through attrition, targeted redundancy programs in 2021, and scaled-back hiring in some countries.

Exxon Mobil along with other oil producers have been cutting costs due to a collapse in oil demand and prices, as well as untimely stalk on new projects.

Nigeria is one of ExxonMobil biggest operational bases in oil and gas exploration and production globally.

This development will be another setback for the industry, after Shell announced 9,000 job cuts globally, which includes Nigeria, and the announcement by Chevron that it plans to reduce its staff strength in Nigeria by 25 per cent.

BP Plc plans to slash 10,000 jobs, and Chevron Corp. has announced around 6,000 reductions.

However, while making the announcement in a statement, the company disclosed that, the highest job cut will come from its headquarters in Houston.

A breakdown of the development include 1,900 U.S. jobs majorly at Houston, the headquarters for its US oil and gas businesses.

There will be layoffs previously announced in Europe and Australia and reductions in the number of contractors, some of which have already taken place.

The staff reduction is part of the latest effort by the Chief Executive Officer, Darren Woods, to curtail spending and halt the worst string of quarterly losses since Exxon assumed its modern form with the 1999 takeover of Mobil Corp.

According to the statement, “These actions will improve the company’s long-term cost competitiveness and ensure the company manages through the current unprecedented market conditions.’’

‘I Wanted To Make 11 Substitutions At Half-Time’ – Mourinho

Jose Mourinho says he wanted to make 11 changes at half-time in Tottenham’s 1-0 Europa League defeat to Royal Antwerp, conceding that his side were deservedly beaten.

Giovani Lo Celso, Steven Bergwijn, Carlos Vinicius and Dele Alli, making his first start in over a month, were all taken off at the interval with Tottenham trailing to Lior Refaelov’s first-half strike.

Gareth Bale was next to make way on the hour-mark but the introduction of Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Erik Lamela, Lucas Moura, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane made little difference.


And on the back of the chastening defeat in Belgium, Mourinho insists his fringe players can have no complaints about being overlooked for bigger matches.

Jose Mourinho Tottenham 2020-21Getty

“I would have liked to make 11,” he said of his decision to make a quadruple change at the break. “I didn’t make five because I was afraid of a long 45 minutes without any changes to make.



“There’s only one person to blame, and it is me. I had chosen the players to start. At half-time I tried to improve the situation. But it was not enough. The dynamic of the first half was there, the mentality was there and it’s difficult to change.

“In the first half the game was very easy to play, lots of space. In the second half, we improved but then they played in a completely different way. It was very difficult. In the end, Antwerp got what they deserved and we also got what we deserved.

“It’s a fair result. I’m always calm with it. The best team won and the worst team lost.”

Mourinho made five changes to Tottenham’s starting line-up for the Group J clash ahead of a Premier League encounter with Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday.

Asked if any players put forward their case to start more regularly, Mourinho said: “Look, you know what our best team is. You know the same thing that I know and that everybody knows.

“But I think that the players, they deserve an opportunity. We have a big squad with lots of good players. It’s my responsibility to give them opportunities. It’s their responsibility to ask for more.

“Tonight, my future choices are going to be very easy. But again, there is only one responsible, not the players, it’s my responsibility.”
