If you’ve just joined EM, you’d be in your mid-20s now, well, late 20s to mid-30s if you’re an experienced hire.
With the drastic headcount cuts, you’re expected to remain in your first job for at least 5 years, if not longer. Then progress to senior/complex engineer - take another 5+ years.
By then, most will be in their mid-30s to early-40s and still cannot smell an SLS position.
Smelly smelly nowsaday, you will need at least 15 years to reach SLS level hor!
By that time, you already 40+ wor!
Not really marketable for a 40-something section head nia!
In the past, by that age, you could already be a DH, or even a young, budding DM - if you are a hyper hi-po.
Is that a long-term career that you want to be chasing, in a sunset industry? For crying out loud!
You need to place your future in front of you. THINK!
Those old birds have seen what EM has become. We either control our own destiny upwards, or let EM move us randomly with perpetual pay freeze or boot. In this together? That's a lie. With or without us does not matter, it is just business.
Old birds encouraging young guns to leave. Out of compassion or afraid of competition? I say fight to live another day! Boomers reek of desperation. Saying anything to keep afloat, screw them
Speeding up job interviews, stopped believing the words from my manager. Finally truly understand how unfair is this bias system starting from recruitment to career progression. Cheated once, twice shy. Bye bye
Go enrol in any NTUC course, especially WAH, CSSA, safety, Supervisory course. With these in your resume, sure got company called you for interview. Had went few interviews, also changed 2 job.
Don't feel ashame been PIP or NSI, just tell the truth to the interviewer. They know what EM is doing.
As long as you are below 40 (and still marketable), it would be better to look elsewhere.
What’s the point of remaining in a marriage that has become an empty shell, with no endearment, and no meaning?
You don’t feel for the other person any more.
Gone are the whimsical surprises, playful hugs and smooches, hidden behind every turn.
Only a lifetime ahead of chores to be fulfilled in an empty relationship.
But you do have a choice and it’s right here and now! Take that leap of faith, for heaven’s sake, before you grow older - only to realise that it’s too late!
The difference now is that PIP only for the 8%, but without PIL option (i.e., to skip PIP, take the 3-months payout and run away far far!).
Sorry Jose (or Nina), once you fail PIP, you get only 1 month notice to leave. No package, no payout. Just leave with flying kisses.
Thos less than 10yrs better try upskill try switch. Those cannot stuck with less opportunities. Less travel. Less overseas posting less position less goodie bags.but more work...Sunset industry after 150yrs ..good times gone sweet spot no more. After all you still have 20 to 30++ yrs do u want to stay like being threatened to pip in your 30s..40s..50s.. ??? Think far.
Another round of 8% NSI has been confirmed. Bet many would resign before the PADP results being communicated.
Just apply your best tool called LPSA, what is the worst things that could happen... PIP?
Using the most unethical way to layoff... what to do? Mgt will say the door is always open...
young Engineers, please think twice before staying...
No more long term career, only long term PIP.
Actually EM is a very good company but we are lacking of excellent leadership from the top.
Shall see which one up their size.
If pay is enough or job is secure, why would anyone wants to go and do grab on the sidelines?
Yes, after April no more WFH, all management have to go back office. Can see all start acting again.
After a year hiding at home do nothing, wonder what figure they will looks like? Clinic will be busy again, preparing medicine for over weight
Noticed increasing number of technicians doing delivery, off day better go rest and don't go moonlight. Later injured how? claim EM insurance is it?

Those that left feel the uncertainty of what lies outside EM. Those who stays feel the uncertainty of what lies within... end of the day they are all the ranks and files who suffer whichever side of the coin u are . The only winner is the Mgmt ... it’s like watching the show of gladiators fighting . Those who are leaving fate has been decided ... those stay behind fate will be decided ... so pot stop calling the kettle black bec all are black . All in the same Sh*t . Take a leaf from the Reddits who United together and screwed the institution fund mgrs ... United we stand divided we fall...
6 Tier 1 BP for engineers to make sure you don’t become MLRP
- During zoom calls, make sure you use the Vision 2025 or We are XOM background
- Praise your peers or manager in meetings or zoom calls. Can be “I like your background or you sound energetic today” - shows your presence!
- Team up with your peers or direct reports and send each other “well done” emails and copy your bosses! - shows you acknowledge good work! It’s the same play as the Survivor show.
- In meetings, say things like “when I was in the field, I saw this ......”. doesn’t matter the content as the supervisors won’t know anyway. You need to let your boss know you went out to the field!
- Volunteer to take minutes. Nobody reads it anyway but it shows you got initiatives.
- About this time (ranking period), during your 1-1, tell your boss you did this and that for your peer and helped him. Puts you one up during ranking time.
I have practiced this (from a wise man). It works!! I should be safe for the next 3 years.
Management ppl don’t even know how to do LPSA. We are overloaded. Damn tiring, waiting for incidents to happen only when someone is exhausted and lost focus.
Bosses are very good at asking questions especially during lpsa session and can ask until worst worst worst - case scenario....
Really dont see how some supervisors are adding value. Everyone already so overworked liao, still want to waste our time by asking stupid and useless questions as if they got daily question quota to meet. Pay them so much for what? How to become a more efficient workforce like that? If you are management level, pls use your brain before asking any questions and think about whether those questions contribute anything at all.
toxic comments by WORKER BEES towards fellow suffering WORKER BEES just goes to show why FTs management can parachute in and sh– all over our heads. collectively or individually, we just need to grow some balls to either speak out or move out. smlj hi-po can eat or not...
apes strong together but the apes just can't come together. EM is full of apes that step on carcasses to climb. shame on all of us.
Already left the company jealous simi. You know deep down inside you're ngmi.
You do you.
@3szaw+16zEvLP3
Don’t jealous ur lousy teammates quitting, leaving you to work 24 hours a day while we work normal hours and got a life outside of work.
Better than you jiak liao bee technicians. Everyday at console la kopi.
Trip again today because of poor management ppl.
With the sh– work that they did for CDU 1/2, I’m not surprised they are resigning. Entitlement too high but just a small pawn in the whole
Organization.
Half the PE technicians resign already. More to go...
Searching for a similar pay outside, no one is secured now.
Any Ang Moh or FT work permit going expired? Let me know, i will apply for you.
I need general workers here.
THANKS.
Fake news! Don't be so desperate to remove competition, can? Smh
Either you spend your VL and leave earlier or you encash the days unused; read up Employment Act. AWS is prorated upon termination of service; read up your letter of offer. Whether AWS is still 3 mths idk, and yes, make sure last day is after the 15th to get max amount.
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Don’t touch my AWS!!!!!
Warning! Encash leave and pro rated aws if you plan to resign soon. Latest rumour - It is going to change very very soon.
But WIN chair send email only need high potential? ESRC just bargain like cheapskate also need executive? I also can even tho I low po
Ang Moh don’t know anything other than to talk ang Moh Wei to Houston and Dallas, and yet they get promoted faster than you and me.
Please ESRC and WIN chairs are decided by the top people in EMAPPL, not any alibaba can just go there and demand for these high positions. Please work on improving your potential before you think of those roles!
Just resigned. Not bad. Got prorated AWS. If your last day is 15 or after, the whole month is counted.
Strange why my manager cannot answer me this question? Oh yes! It’s an angmoh
Today is voting day for Chemicals to have a Union
If the result says GB win then i will be very suspicious abt the whole process
Its Chemicals long overdue time to have our own Union now or never ever again if it fails this time

Whoever works here will be just slaves serving the bloody masters
# WE want Chemicals Union
Every1 pls quit so that I can stay and be WIN and ESRC chair!
