Should have been looking around even before the workforce study. You snooze you lose. Take the PIP on the chin and hope you survive, if you don’t have jobs lined up. Sh– has already hit the fan- it’s just whether it has splattered on you?

Oh no... no more budget for layoff. PIP and TMTS are coming for us. Time to look around before the sh– hits the fan.
It will be at 8%. Leaders need to show that PIP is not a workforce reduction program, but a performance enhancement tool.
Think the 8% will be maintained for 2021.
HR and our top bosses in sg will know the targeted cut. If you lucky, they will share.
Wonder how many employees will fall into the next round of PIP/PIL after the lay off？
Dayum! I did not know they were cut. I thought they resigned for greener pastures!
Well in that case all the best to them!
Tango Yankee!
@3iyhf+16zEvLP3
The DM and DH whom will be leaving the company are both my dear and trusted colleagues/friends. The strong bonds we have endeared, while working together during the many plant upsets and through the long nights - in the years gone by that only we can reminisce.
Yes, like many here, we were all young once, with budding families and children to feed, school, and mortgages and loans to pay.
They’ve both (and many other RERs and CL28/29s, who have recently been let go) have taken stock of their livelihood ahead and whatever careers that have so suddenly been truncated and having humbly decided, or been told to go.
Let’s give them the space ad time that they will now need to rebuild their lives and empathise with them, in their moment of respite.
Your knowing whom they are will not change things a bit, except giving you the bragging right to circulate their names around the grapevine even more!
Tango Yankee - Peace and out.
Who is the DH and DM that is leaving? I keep seeing people say DH and DM leaving. But no idea who. Can fill me in? Thanks in advance!
Whoever feeds info here and give hints will have good karma :)
Follow the leader, DH is leaving and join renewable soon, what are you waiting for...
Sometimes the best solution is the chance to fail . Failure is the greatest teacher . It brings the lesson of humility and empathy to the Mgmt .. only when they are in the shoes of our retrenched colleagues will they be better human and then ready to be a better leaders ....
Hey , after reading your notes on local “leadership” team. I did a scan... none served the army! They never experience leading soldiers on mission whereby they are all exhausted , morale Low , half a company’s or platoon’s strength yet need to conquer an objective ! OMG! 😂😢😅🤣
They meet for regular updates on headcount status. HR is there to help them, not us. If cannot achieve reduction needed, HR will assist. Unfortunately, none is on our side. Speaking in media about fair retrenchment; but doing all cruel and unethical on us. So much bad deeds on the innocents, I feel so ashamed.
Iam definitely leaving , although I am the unfortunate one “elected “ to stay... the local leadership does not have the mettle to bring this company out of this crisis.... most of them are straight from Uni into Em, this is the only company they have worked for ... tell me how are they going to bring this company out of this crisis when all the experienced hands are gone ? Left behind are younger and cheaper workers like us , and older CL 28/29 paper “ generals” who are good in powerpoints ? Then we have execs who are interested to continue milking the cows and enriching themselves . Who is really interested to rebuild this company ? We have a Dinosaur thinking CEO still deeply entrenched in fossil fuel , even if he wants to branch out to renewables he has no money to spend bec the balance sheet is so badly damaged. Basically , we are counting on external factor like OPEC + not increasing production so that supply will be short ... to ride the recovery of crude price ! Meanwhile , internally we continue to cut ... cut what? Cut pple ! Who ? You and me - the worker bees ! This is a sign of empire going into a trajectory of decline ! If u can’t appreciate , go and watch Netflix - Rome empire ... we are exactly in this scenario.
Many in EMAPPL still think that with the recent retrenchment exercise, we have met the headcount targets, as stipulated in TMTS country workforce study.
How wrong they are!
To meet the real targets laid down, management has up to the next 2-3 years to bring our overall headcount further - through normal attrition, retirements (w/o RER conversions) ... and the consolidation of whole sections across departments.
All this, coupled with the slow weeding out of NSI non-performers over the next few PA cycles.
That’s the inconvenient truth of all things to come!
As management will always say to the undecided: “the door is always open”.
Exxon: Employees eXit by aXing ONly
Mobil: Move Out Before it’s Late
The warning is already in the letters of the company !
MORE leaving means MORE sh– to takeover.
Mgmt are given cut targets to meet for sure, this will go on regularly. Those in this local league will scratch each others back, HR will advise on methods and make sure targets are met. All of us are dispensable, and will go on. Why do this to us? Aren't we together in it??
You sounded as if cl28/29 has the authority to make themselves stay back lol... if they are not the cronies of the execs you think they can stay back if they want ???? Cut a few of them can save a few more effective and productive 27/26 workers who could deliver more results than having these pple doing upward Mgmt and playing role of eunuchs lol
Such a toxic workplace, peers backstab one another, manager step on team members to get promoted, yearly appraisal conducted in dark room, management team failed to walk the talk for years. Majority Workforce stay for the money not for the working environment, no surprise if the outside world is aware this is a rotten place to work in, big name on the outside, rot to the core if you step inside.
CL 28/29s above 50 are already earning > 30万 pa.
Of course they will hang around and not give up their jobs right?
Who will? Would you?
一百万 in every 3 years!!!
Why not?
It is clear from this exercise and the previous year’s PIP/PIL, that the CL27 “worker bees” are expendable. Really.
Fire now and hire again, later on, when needed!
Superfluous and dispensable.
Pawns, bargaining chips - call it what you want.
I suppose that many here are in that category :)
If you compare numbers of CL 28/29 and exec cuts versus CL 27 and below( who are the real worker bees ) , it’s a damn small percentage ! I am not sure why we have so many late 50s CL 28/ 29 still hanging around ! Bec they are friends of the execs lol ?

I know of DM (CL30/31) and DH (CL28/29) who got cut. As a % of each’s cohort, that is not insignificant!
So funny ! open ur eyes and see who got cut and who get to stay.... bloody dog and pony show!

They often play the rhetoric tune of we value our pple ... but In action it speaks differently. In the face of crisis , instead of exploring options ( pay cut down the chain with execs taking the lead, trim Div) , the lead case is put the pple under the bus ! Liken to when the titanic hit the iceberg , instead of throwing furnitures overboard , we throw ppl first. Yes , we reckon that maybe the workforce needs to be trimmed due to changing environment , but we could always do it after the crisis when things are back to normal. This will allow the company to compensate all the employees competitively( we are worst payout master among shell and chevron) . At least pple leave the company with a grateful heart and it’s also a recognition to their many years of contribution. As for those who talk big ... and lack empathy . Let me warn u , the time will come for u ... u will then learn what some of your peers are going thru . It’s might be worst for u!
@3hijx+16zEvLP3 We are ExxonMobil! In this together!!!
Be honest, don't brush away TOUGH questions in forums, if payroll or job cuts expected, say it. Paid so much, not hiding behind text book answers in order to keep your rice bowls. If text book answers again, means the top is hiding something more important.
@3hwee+16zEvLP3 DW is hopeless.. nothing new.. tell us something we don’t know.. if you don’t like it.. leave..
Lol what peasant. Say until so poor thing EM never pay you well. Work 5-7 more years also can get 百万 before cpf and tax. Whether you can/want to work that long with the company is another story.
Looks like Expert Technician is not alone in ranting and whining here.
Good job well done my fellow # WE were exxonmobil just let loose let yourselves be HEARD AND KNOWN abt the TRUTH the clear unfairness obvious double standard and sheer injustice treatment and bad ugly practices of EM towards US
Just keep it up keep the movement going my friends
# WE were ex-XOMobil
In short the rootcause of the problem - Integrity and transparency issuue of sg mgmt from all depts.
We shd not slam the left behinds . They are just one of us ... like the animal farm... those need to be Shame are the pigs (Mgmt). They have a biased deal whereby head they win tail u lose ! Whether the Mgmt is laid off more of retirement) or not , they get fat pay check... that’s why a titanic like Xom is sinking .... this crisis just expose how weak the leadership is .... everyone can claim
To be a good leader , the real test of leadership is during crisis ! Ask ourselves this question, during this crisis what has our leaders sacrifice ? Nothing ! They enrich themselves by protecting the dividend citing it’s for the sake of shareholders ! But they are the shareholders , holding lots of vested shares ! They don’t come forth like SQ to volunteer pay cut , but protect their pays and sacrifice rank and files .... greed to the optimum at display ! Those left behinds , ask yourselves is this the company u still want to slog for .... remember the show titanic ? You need to choose whether to be Rose or Jack .... good luck
Local executive(s) who are given the package get max 25 months, due to their service tenure and at least 六十万 or higher, depending on their last drawn salary.
On top of that, they could also liquidate their EM stock options awarded to them over the years ... amounting to a few hundred K more!
Their overall separation compensation could be at least 百万 or more, depending on their age (non-RER, before 62), last drawn salary and the amount of company stock options that they hold.
Us peasants leh? Eat porridge and soya sauce lor!
No incremental for two years, at least.
No promotion for two years.
Bonus to be cut this year, and the 5% LTSA.
Another round of PIP, not as significant as last year, but it is around the corner.
For those who survived, good luck with more work load but less workforce.
Darren wood ‘s and his execs made all the strategic mistakes almost running the company aground . Conveniently blame it on Covid ( usual style of all execs and Mgmt . Claim when there is credit , blame on other “uncontrollable” factors when things go bad ) . His recent KPIs were getting Xom out of DJ after close to 100yrs, executed unprecedented layoffs on employees. Yet , he and his cronies are still around ... continuing his song and dance . Totally not being accounted for ! Why? Because chairman and CEO are one person! For the bad leadership , he and his cronies put all the rank and files under the bus to save his own skin ... continue to keep his fat pay check and dividend ... He and his execs have no qualms putting those loyal employees out of jobs jeopardise the livelihood and dependents.... There are no executives being held accountable ! Those executives that left are given retirement and fat paycheck again. The whole entire system is corrupted ! What corporate governance are we talking here ? Accountability and consequences seemingly applied only to rank and files , all executives are immune ! It’s basically an Animal farm at play !
Maybe even the managers are complaining and this is the place you vent. Can’t be telling GC right? After all, her responses will be pretty much textbook style- just like most of the managers toeing the company line.
If you are manager or supervisor, visiting this site CONFIRMS your insecurity. Opps...and now get back to work, don't peek :p
