HOUSTON Exxon Mobil is facing a claim that it implemented an employee ranking system and took other efforts to eliminate older employees.
Jose Simonetty filed a complaint May 17 in Harris County District Court against Exxon Mobil Corporation alleging age discrimination.
According to his complaint, Simonetty began working for Exxon Mobil 30 years ago and on July 9, 2020, at age 62, he was terminated. He alleges that throughout his time at Exxon Mobil, he received awards and commendations for his performance and that once he turned 58 years old, he noticed a rapid, unsubstantiated decline in his performance ranking.
Simonetty claims that Exxon placed employees in this age group in performance evaluation programs that were essentially the last step for older employees and very few, if any, survive the programs to get their employment status to the company s acceptive level.
