据彭博新闻社2020年12月1日休斯敦报道，在原油市场崩盘导致美国石油巨头埃克森美孚公司连续出现创纪录的季度亏损以后，埃克森美孚公司今年将暂停向员工发放奖金。不过，公司高管仍将获得股票奖励。
埃克森美孚公司在周一提交给监管机构的一份文件中称，埃克森美孚公司董事会的薪酬委员会“；。根据具有挑战性的行业状况和由此带来的公司收益行使酌情权。”周二的另一份文件显示，首席执行官达伦•伍兹和他的4名高级副手将获得限制性股票奖励。
这家美国石油巨头经历了艰难的一年，原油需求和价格暴跌，迫使该公司大幅下调了支出预期，并目标裁员1.4万人。埃克森美孚公司还披露，该公司预计今年第4季度将减记多达200亿美元资产。
埃克森美孚公司的高管包括伍兹、高级副总裁安德鲁·斯威格、尼尔·查普曼和杰克·威廉姆斯以及全球项目负责人尼尔·达芬，他们5人将分享55.44万股限制性股票奖励，与一年前大致相同。去年的奖励总金额约为3750万美元，但埃克森美孚公司的股价自那以来已经下跌了大约40%。

ExxonMobil Shelves 2020 Bonuses
Exxon Mobil Corp. is suspending employee bonuses for this year after the crude-market collapse spurred a record run of quarterly losses for the oil titan. Top executives, however, will still receive stock awards.
The Exxon board’s compensation committee “exercised discretion in light of challenging industry conditions and resulting company earnings,” the company said in a regulatory filing The oil supermajor has endured a torrid year in which crude demand and prices crashed, forcing the company to slash spending forecasts and target 14,000 jobs for elimination. Exxon also disclosed it expects to write down as much as $20 billion in assets during the current quarter.
Exxon’s top executives -- Woods, Senior Vice Presidents Andrew Swiger, Neil Chapman and Jack Williams, as well as global projects head Neil Duffin -- will share 554,400 in restricted stock awards, about the same as a year earlier. The awards were valued at about $37.5 million in total last year, but Exxon shares have tumbled about 40% since then.
