Why must wait till you get a good package then you go?
If you want to go, then go! Your locker oredi cleared and on standby right?
Wait for what some more? !!!
Want to go, yet so money face, waiting to get big fat severance package?

The MLRP process has already ENDED. There will be NO second wave of MLRP!
So any hope of getting multiple-months package is gone and over!
Just be prepared to be NSI-ed in next PA, offered a PIP - and if you fail, then get a 1 month notice to leave (plus encashed leave balance and pro-rated AWS, if any).
That’s all you will get lah.

In DW’s eyes, if you can’t sing the #weareexxonmobil tune, you are not suitable for this company, no matter how many years you have. The 22 years are nothing in his eyes.

So let’s compete to win, provide clarity and pretend to show some care as well.

My 22yrs service in em is considered a waste of company's time and money.
How abt those 30 over years service then....good luck.
Better to hire more IT smart cheaper smarter hungrier younger faster and fitter new Technician.
The writings already all over the wall.
PIP is on the way.
Anyway already got my locker cleared on ever ready standby.
Dearest MGMT and boss just gimme the responsible packages like a world class company exxonmobil brandname has.
Life must go on.
Adios ciao sayonara selamat tinggal podah goodbye...and TQVM exxonmobil.

Haha, better still, shut down / sell off Sriracha Refinery & TARP and move the whole ETL PMTE over to Singapore to operate and maintain our plants here. Will definitely save so much $$$ in SWB!

I think Singapore employees are just too costly (with CPF and all) to be economically viable and will never be competitive in the overall scheme of things - if reducing our “cost to produce” and “cost to serve” are the overarching corporate goals in the new business environment.

In electronic manufacturing for example, it would be a simple decision to up-stick and redeploy to lower-cost countries like China, Vietnam, Malaysia - but for O&G manufacturing, we just have too much sunk capital assets, which is illiquid and not portable. So if we cannot port over sunk assets to a cheaper site, then we should seriously consider porting over lower-cost labour over here instead, to operate them!

I think if we move some of the process and technical staff from Sriracha Refinery, to operate the SG plant here, pay them in THB with living allowances (with no trailing families) - they’d still be cheaper than hiring locals!!
Not forgetting that TARP is now shutdown indefinitely, we can also bring the whole Aromatics PMTE lock, stock and barrel, to operate SAR1 or SAR2 at a much lower cost also.
I think I am going to suggest this Opex-saving initiative in our next staff meeting.
Whatever it takes to save more cash (for dividends) for DW and his merry board. Buahahaha !!!

Process ops and technical can't go Thai. Number crunchers and mundane managerial roles are slowly heading Thai and India by stages. No doubt.

DW is asking you to s— his wood if you don’t like how the company is run. As far as he’s concerned, the board is behind him. Whining employees from a far flung place like Singapore won’t hurt him. So complain all you want on this board, but nothing is gg to change, other than your employment status when you get PIPed

Supervisors always ask lead tech to do their job. Don’t even know your role and responsibilities. So what is the use of supervisors in EM to take 5 digit pay every month.talk c— sing song only!

Good luck if your boss dislike you. There is a saying that goes either you or your boss will move so just hang it there and everything will be fine. Too bad now you will be the one to get PIP.

We had some regrettable ones who left but I agree the rest deserves to leave. Especially entitled new hires who thinks they are the best. They bring nothing but problems with their spoilt complaints. Truly a strawberry generation that should stay at home and continue drinking milk out of their bottle.

country study was important in getting rid of id–ts. we have s—ups, useless supervisors, the egoistic colleagues, the pretenders who sit at their desks and do nothing and ask stupid questions. it was a great purge of leeches. Hurray! and big karma to the supervisors and managers who are constantly looking at moving singapore jobs overseas to other countries. guess it comes and bites u in the end

DW ‘s name will go down in history as the worst CEO . The CEO that sails the titanic aground. Poor and weak leadership. He could have taken the path of the unconventional ( from his successors) by slaying the sacred cows of pay and div cut to save the workforce . Instead he took the easy way out by throwing the pple (ranks and files that help built the company) overboard instead of himself and his leadership team. Who steer the ship? Who set the direction towards collision? How did we get from cash rich and self financing position to become cash strapped today ? The ranks and files ? If it’s in Japan , the leadership team will have bowed and apologise to the employees and accepts the failure and quits . Unlike this shameful team, continuing to enrich himself and his cronies while throwing the innocent overboard ! Look at how he tries to block engine 1 from electing new board members you will be able to know how he and his cronies work !

Time to throw away the redbull racing shirt, it's now a danger to wear in the public. Always do our LPSA, avoid meeting any unfortunate encounters in the public. Safety comes first and Nobody gets hurt!

The overpaid are exploiting their people like drying a wet mop, pushes the poor little things down to face the dirt, while they control the movement. Once done, they claim their own effort as if dirtying their own hands. If they don't their boss will do the same to them.

2 camps in the company now.

First, the ones that know this company is in deep sh**t and wants to quit.

Second, overpaid people that know that they're gonna get huge paycuts out there because they can't bring value at all.

Which camp do you belong to anon?

You know the company is doing down the drain when you see your colleagues suddenly appear on LinkedIn and wants to "connect" with you.

You know you are in a sh–ty department when you see these colleagues (middle management especially) spam post things on LinkedIn about leadership, about staying strong and all those bullc-ap before and right after the study (oh and they are not affected by the retrenchment too).

So glad I am out of this sh-thole with a package.

how to pretend you care for Sg. Start with distributing hundreds of small grocery packs to Sg blocks, shout out give back community!, later claim back from sg headcount cuts. Hallow? ? ?

What makes you so sure that the Singapore TAFEP is not already interviewing some of the managers?
Many in this forum are really EUT (empty up there) and keyboard warriors ... no wonder deemed as PIP candidate in last round (many gone) and next round (more gone)!

How did P&GA keep wanbao, zaobao and strait times from reporting this stupid PIP mechanism? No one complaining or no one reporting? I believe it’s the latter.

Those lazy reporters are best at snooping around forums to report “news” and yet they did nothing to talk about this. That’s odd!

No sh–, Sherlock. Of course PIP is an effective and cheap way to lay off workers without layoff. That’s why AF got a big promotion to be DW’s executive secretary and now in the staging area in HR for another big job, while you struggle to survive this year’s PIP.

As someone said here before, PIP is a gift for this company.

Looking forward to the new round of performance assessments or what is also known as the hunger games. Only WIN members are safe I guess.
