Hello.. are you there?
Who is the leader, promised us to share reconfig study and outcome few months back? Even told us we will know the news first, and not from outside rumours..
WHEN?
for what work so hard? just pass time there can liao. As long as you are not in the inner circle, even you think of an ideal can help the company to save a few million, you stupidly tell your boss you wanna do this, your boss will ask you to do but credit someone else you also su-k time one.
have ideal keep in your pocket, go outside find another place then show your real talent.
This world class company no longer serves you and me anymore.
@9yvr EM is too toxic nowadays. Easily kana backstab by your colleagues.
@9yvr for sure 90% will choose to leave. Management here damn toxic one, full of 2-headed snakes. Even long time friends will stab the other's back once they get the power. My FLS keep going on leave or TO every month but every year excellent appraisal despite not contributing anything valuable. Got good FLS high contributor but no reward. Another good FLS quietly contributing and trying hard to boost our morale but management too blind to see, heard he even got NI for his efforts. Here only kaki lang gets the benefits, those who dare challenge the norm are stomped down to the ground.
@9yvr see who are the new owners
If you are in SAR2, join new company or come back EM?
@9ypx did it say any rough timeline?
I also heard the same about SOP2. Insider source from reconfig team
Isn't the layoff is for the whole Harbourfront office?
@9xt7 ppl like you are the naive ones where company retrench left right centre and sell off all businesses and still think "hearsay". Read the writing on the wall and wake up. Singapore is no longer a favoured manufacturing hub
@9xqp all the trolls. My guess will be that they are laid off and have nothing to do at home.
all the hearsay master coming out again. Come share more, hear from who
Hearsay there are discussions going on to fully import the hydrocarbon and shutdown SOP2.
SOP2 can start the discussion on mothball already
'Nobody will call you': The long road back after retrenchment for workers in their 50s.
Workers in their 50s are taking longer to bounce back after being retrenched. Three of them tell CNA what it took to get back into the workforce.
SINGAPORE: Mr Francis Lee, 59, had just celebrated closing a deal when his company told him he was being retrenched. Restructuring at his multinational packaging firm had cost him his director role.
Life went quiet after his last day of work in February 2025. “Nobody will call you. Nobody will message you,” he said. After more than 30 years of being on call for his job and seeing his colleagues more often than his friends, the silence was disorienting.
His experience reflects a trend flagged in the Ministry of Manpower’s (MOM) latest quarterly labour market report, for April to June. The ministry said workers in their 50s are at higher risk of involuntary job displacement and may face greater job search challenges.
Resident employees aged 50 to 59 had the highest retrenchment rate of any age group in the quarter, at 3.6 per 1,000 workers. Unemployment and long-term unemployment (measured at roughly six months or more) among this group edged up to 3.1 per cent and 1.2 per cent respectively in June.
Hiring has not stopped. Retrenchment in Singapore is largely driven by business restructuring – jobs for residents continue to grow, and vacancies stood at 1.48 per unemployed worker in June.
But laid-off workers, especially older ones, are taking longer to bounce back.

@9wx1 AWS and retrenchment payout incoming. Boredom, yes. Low, nope!
why are people still talking about low morale?? i have been hearing this phrase millions of times since 2019 and still hearing.
If your morale is low, that is your personal problem, not the management's.
For many others, their morale is high up in the sky.
When is leadership team keeping promise to share with us reconfig study - mid Nov? Morale is so low on the ground.
I'm more interested in when are these 2 plant going to close down, nobody have time for their management playtime bullsh-t.
@9wt0 Jaswant Singh talked too long and no work done. Karthik can’t talk but wayang number one. Act hardworking and quietly ki-ling people. Only those enlightened see through it
This guy knows nothing about running a plant. He is up there “previously” because he joined the industry during the good times. Any Di-k can get promoted. But times are different now. Basically, he just groomed a foreigner to replace him. What a classic example =D
But the other guy is not better. Just quietly bringing his village into Singapore because we are stupid enough to give them chance.

@9wnm walao don't fake news leh, no official communication, where you here from, don't be d-mb can a not
What? How u guys know they on the list?
SAR2 and Jurong Refinery are on the list. Good luck folks.
They selling SAR2? About time!
Lucky my boss is very private and won't show up too much for non work related activity. No need to deal with awkward silence with them
@9w11 got increement meh?
Cost of groceries raise much faster than EM increments..
@9vaj didnt know about people back on contract. if thats the case, they hit the jackpot
Has anyone else noticed that few people who took retrenchment packages are already back on contract?
If these roles were truly redundant, why are they being refilled so quickly? It feels unfair that a select few effectively get a double payout, severance plus a contract wage, while others were let go permanently. Curious to hear how others view this.
What’s the official retirement age in Singapore for Singapore non-expat employees? And what’s the realistic average age (assuming you don’t get PIPed, made redundant before)
@9t7g current in-thing on forced meetup after work
so did your boss ask you out after work? what's with this random post suddenly? And if your boss did ask for after work activities, just tell him you need to catch the bus at 4 or 430 depending on where you are
To be honest I used to enjoyed to work in this company, I am really fascinated by how those very bright engineers thinks and plan. They know when to stop and how to use minimum resources to achieve their testing targets... they also know how to utilise data to reach their conclusion as well without the need to perform any test. As for ground men, they know all the line up nothing will shake up these group of talented ground men even when comes to emergency response, they will not shout on the radio instead, they will be standing by at valve position that requires to be open or close. everything is at the back of their heads..
Most of these top elites has left this farming company... Now you only can find walking deads here, all scare to think and challenge why? because of company now making money need to cut head counts.. All don't dare to do things like last time, no one even dare to challenge their head, now is a yes sir or mdm company... being too out spoken will get you a one way ticket out of the company... lol
Now everyday just say yes sir or mdm, post useless LinkedIn grateful post. Pretend to be happy in this world class sh-t mess company.... anything goes right? as long as it pays my bill.. pretend to build bonds with people...
let's be honest, who still wanna meet your boss after work? during work hours he never give you enough problem? his or her problem become your problem and your problem is only yours...
please la enjoy your time with your family...

Anyway just work la, farm only..... whether you work hard or not, you think this stupid company still care??? do what you can and fu-k it the rest... even the plant burn down also like that....Now this plant is a zombie plant liao... they cannot wait to shut it down... They need to keep it alive just because they cannot find any buyer...
During good times C level people any how expand... bad times need to cut head count and the ground man salary... when all the ground man gone all those people that made the bad. decision to expand still there and worst of all still kana promoted lol...
wanna work hard for this company? Think again... be smart, just act act work and build your financial up here will do... your future is always outside, your family, your mental health and your growth as well...
Here is a sinking ship... just Take the money you need and leave....
@9rfg people don't complain because they are not wasting this energy as they know it is not going to help. Since even the leadership don't know where this ship is sailing to.
Honestly how sustainable is this ...
@9raj Exactly right, look at the amount of natural attrition recently, work been transferred to another co worker / MPE without any replacement, even the polymer BU, the most attrition among other BU, also lean af, but work still goes on for them, u dont see them complaining even they taking more work from the people that left.
