Either way, this might be a good thing for the company. I will not invest money to employ someone with relatively high pay while his job just mainly focus on checking housekeeping or doing OCVM (while neglecting or don't know how to run a plant)... — read more

Firstly, Company wants high performance talents, but it doesnt want to pay to that standard, that is the main reason why many department could not recruit experineced hires. Many years ago, good people queue to join EM they will join even without a... — read more 

Management should STOP upfront discussion with FLS before deciding path forward of technicians. The decision made are always bias. FLS steer everything toward their own advantage and pretend to give technicians a fair deal. If you really want a... — read more

One webinar after another … from President, to SVP, to VPs … all the same message and outcome. No new directions given. Same old, same old. Nothing thought provoking, to challenge our fertile minds. They still want … no, demand, the max from all... — read more 

I am just watching and see 2 groups arguing here. Seniors vs the juniors. But regardless, the people who actually hold the power of the pen (with regards to making decisions on PA, increments and promotions) shall have the final say here, and in the... — read more 

I recall that in my first 5 years in EM, I was rotated through 3 jobs in 2 departments ….. and got 2 CL jumps (23-24-25) with very attractive increments! That’s something the newbie underlings nowsaday can never hope to smell lor!

The brutal truth is our jobs are going to India, KL and BKK...or outsourced to 3rd party. It is very obvious. The words coming out from GC or SG mgt saying SG is "strategic" or "key" ....what does it mean exactly to 99% of us? To me, just a bunch of... — read more

In the past, all of us know we can look forward to a stable career with EM, and slowly grow our technical expertise. I still felt married to EM despite the average ranking. Many of us know we are not the top quintile and will never be a manager. But... — read more

Last year, my SLS told me, I was placed in PIP. When I’ve done above and beyond my base R&R but what he did not tell me was, theres a heated discussion during the PA that went into a voting and I got marginalized because people don’t know me. LL... — read more

There are definitely less layoffs from the beginning of the year. Hope it stays that way. Any chance that we’re out of the woods regarding the abnormal number of PIP-s? Just hope it stays this way.

Stop being scared all the time! O&G is cyclical, and we are currently in the bo-m period. Once we enter a bust period is when you need to worry, but that's not going to happen any time soon. Have you been following what's been happening in the world?... — read more 

One has to wonder, if there are so many layoffs right now and if there is so much uncertainty at this time, what will happen when the industry faces lower oil prices. Unfortunately, for those who want to leave at that point it is too late. I am... — read more 

Not that I liked for that to happen but given the general situation and the atmosphere at the company I figured they will just continue with the dynamic of layoffs from last year. So far it is obvious that that didn’t happen in 2022. Is Singapore... — read more 

I understand that this is a road most are not willing to take, even if they were laid off in the end. However I can’t stop wondering if there is any way to legally battle this, if you have evidence that a PIP has been unrealistically and wrongly... — read more 

In my opinion, we are just too heavy too light bottom. This resulted in high cost structure . The last retrenchment , instead of streamlining and getting ride of execs and 28/29 level we got ride of working level of 27 and below. On the surface ... — read more

Let’s admit it. Layer and layer of management have been piled up during the years, and we ended up wit a overblown managerial structure where manners lie and shift blame on the employees. When the cuts come in whatever form, the victims are usually... — read more 

Maybe not that of an important question for us still employed, given that we are all still in danger, but I imagine we would all be very surprised about the number of people that went (or are still going through) this.

Nearly two months into the new year and still no layoffs. I'm pleasantly surprised.

I believe that would be a much simpler and clearer solution for the employees but for the company as well. Let’s be honest. I don;t think that anyone who has even a little common sense can argue that the general goal of the XOM leadership is to... — read more

How many of you are planning to quit before the end of February?

I'm not sure why people are even thinking about layoffs anymore. When EM wants to get rid of employees, all it has to do is put them on PIP. Then they either leave right away because they know there's no beating it or they're fired in the end. PIPs... — read more
