The company is about to cut around 1,900 employees as a result of ongoing reorganizations and work-process changes that have been made over the past several years to improve efficiency and reduce costs. According to ExxonMobil’s spokesman: “These actions will improve the company’s long-term cost competitiveness and ensure the company manages through the current unprecedented market conditions. The impact of Covid-19 on the demand for ExxonMobil’s products has increased the urgency of the ongoing efficiency work.”.
