ExxonMobil plans to cut jobs in the United States that will primarily impact management offices in Houston, Tex., the company said Oct. 29. Some 1,900 employees will be affected through voluntary and involuntary programs.

The workforce reductions are the result of ongoing reorganizations and work-process changes that have been made over the past several years to improve efficiency and reduce costs. The actions will improve the company’s long-term cost competitiveness and ensure the company manages through the current unprecedented market conditions, the company said.

Employees separated through involuntary programs will be provided with support, including severance and outplacement services, the company said.
