Hope all is well. Just to let you know that there is a world out there that is at least slightly better than EM Singapore. Please try your best. I left some years back knowing that if something like today would to happen, my ranking that time would lead me to have no leverage at all.

NOTICE PAPER NO. 219 OF 2025 FOR THE SITTING ON 6 NOVEMBER 2025
QUESTION NO. 789 FOR OR-L ANSWER
MP: Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong
To ask the Minister for Manpower (a) whether the Government projects further layoffs in the petrochemical industries following the announcement by a US energy company of its plans to retrench up to 500 staff in Singapore by end-2027; and (b) if so, whether the Government is extending support to these companies or to affected workers directly in the transition to a low-carbon future.
Answer:
The member may be referring to ExxonMobil’s restructuring announcement on 1 Oct 2025, where the company said that it would be retrenching up to 500 workers in Singapore by end-2027.
The Energy and Chemicals (E&C) sector is a global industry, and Singapore is subject to global developments in demand and supply. With any mature industry in transition, we also expect to see some churn as companies transform their operations. However, there will be opportunities for reinvestment and renewal. For example, as we transition to a low-carbon future, there will be new job opportunities for locals in growth areas such as specialty chemicals and bio-chemicals. Since 2021, there were over 30 new specialty chemical projects across manufacturing and R&D from global companies such as Arkema, Cariflex and Kuraray. When fully realised, these investments are expected to create more than 1,000 jobs, across roles in manufacturing operations, R&D and innovation, process engineering, sustainability, and corporate functions.
Should retrenchments occur, the Government’s priority is to support affected workers with employment facilitation. The Taskforce for Responsible Retrenchment and Employment Facilitation, comprising representatives from MOM, WSG, NTUC, NTUC’s e2i, EDB, and ESG, proactively reaches out to retrenching companies once notified of a retrenchment. For ExxonMobil, the Taskforce has offered career matching services and referrals to career switch programmes if workers wish to move into other growth areas. These include the Career Conversion Programmes and Mid-Career Pathways Programme. We understand that ExxonMobil has also proactively engaged the ExxonMobil Singapore Employees’ Union and is committed to working closely with them to support affected workers throughout the restructuring process.
The SkillsFuture Jobseeker Support scheme will also provide temporary financial support of up to $6,000 over six months to eligible retrenched individuals to support them in finding a job that makes better use of their skills and experience. The Government will continue to work closely with companies to support workers in the transition to a low-carbon future.
they don’t review the pip; they review the failed pips that lead to termination, that lead to complaints to MOM. they do it not to protect the interest of nsi employee, but to protect the interest of the co. supervisors are employees too, and these employees in supervisory roles can do stupid sh-t that get the co into trouble.
if you fail pip this year and get terminated, and believe you had done everything you reasonably could to fulfil the terms of pip, then please go to MOM. in the 2021 country study, there were people who complained to MOM. you’re terminated already what’s there to lose.
Hr and law is here for the company, not employees. Yeah sure they review the pip
mgmt do try their best to pass people this year. If fail can directly complain to mom. but fail pip cases confirm less than 5, and hr and lawyer have to review each pip fail. From co perspective just not worth the hassle to fail anyone this year, unless really can strongly justify why fail pip. sgcx environment too many toxic people and stupid rumours, e.g. resident troll(s) here
Bidding goodbye to toxicity. Moving bk
@8e9h Wah, really jialat to be in their shoes sia. No layoff package somemore, then still kena label as a lousy and lazy ‘Needs Significant Improvement’ NSI employee. That kind of tag follow them whole life one. Really a wake-up call for all of us here.
Those who fail PIP this month confirmed force to quit before package. Nothing personal.
@8e79 heard they started communicating to impats/ expats cos they need more time to make plans for logistics, move family and kids etc. also got those never kena, they also know already.
for the regular sg population, the date is 1 Dec, if you’re on leave or mc etc they have until 15 Dec to communicate to everyone. Or boss on leave MC they got flexibility. For us we can choose whether we want to receive a call on vacation or DND until come back. Our team bosses kind and gave us flexible
Started
All communications start from Dec 1?
@8e57 talk f lah really will quit at this point, one week before announcement? Say until like cannot afford to wait already 🤣 cannot afford to wait for lottery to open? sla-ghtered duck don’t have golden goose egg at the end one leh. Typical duakang
People want to quit also kena from you guys here, dictatorship game very strong. Some more want to act like big dog gangster, report name. Might as well give rank name nric
Him or her quitting just means 1 lesser number to cut until 2027, lesser chance for package
@8e48 so kiang state your name, our HR friends can monitor whether anyone quits from now until 1 Dec. The link is goto/resignation ok, don’t go wrong link
@8e48 Eh don’t troll lah. You want to quit, at least have a better offer lined up first. Quit then do what? Sell insurance? Be property agent? Here already so many people got licence liao wor. You’re late to the game. Better just wait and see whether you even get a retrenchment package or plan to to on maternity…
