Recognition comes in the form of good job and a pat on the back. Don’t expect more.
By the way, you are at risk of being PIP, since everyone is doing relatively better. It’s just relative.

Long service awards?! snorts be glad you have a job.
Long service awards have been removed. Boss, then what do I get for my recognition? I can only give you PIP or the 3 months pay.
Why are PD / Training DH, SLS still around. Everyday wondering what they are doing. Do EM need these department?
Obviously the company wants to PIP us into profitability. But it doesn’t work this way. Really affecting the whole organization - and I don’t see anyone getting inspired by the new system.
You are probably safe in the next PIP zone. @3jiip+16zEvLP3
Hi-po is just a label or connected somewhat. Do less, take more, easily forgiven and fly fast. Speaking of equality??
Its true. No decent corporation will maintain their leadership team when it comes to retrenchment due to bad company performance .
basically it will be a downward spiral since it was this leadership that brought us to this state.
we need an external CEO with balls to make real change in the company not lip service corporate mambo jumbo.
look at the F&L leadership, none any proven ‘real’ business success in the real business world . however they are extremely successful in managing upwards and their career at the expense of the other employees .
whats gonna happen to us moving forward with clowns like them at the top!

Stop being jealous, just because you are not EP or Hi Po. Time for me to join WIN to show my WeAreExxonmobil values #care
Come to cleaning sh*t , we shout the slogan “ we are ExxonMobil” . When come to retrenchment “ you guys go first” we Mgmt stays lol .... what a big joke !
Exactly.
The main question is how do EM value their Hi POs?
Bootlicking? Wayang? Powerpoint slides? WIN?
The paradox is this :
1)if you are so called hiPo and you choose to stay after seeing what is happening and will be happening and the decline trajectory .... that means u are not too smart afterall.
2) if you are hipo and yet afraid to leave for growth industries or companies , it only goes to show that u are only company centric hipo . To be exact , Em ‘s hi po not the real universal hi po.
To all the so-called hi pos out there , get real and don’t bluff or kid yourselves ... if U stay , u are just a fake hi po. For the real ones , no matter where they go , they will be hi pos . So stop bragging here . F
I’m confident we can do better, because we all have the values of WeAreExxonMobil.
Wonder why so many non value added activities like nli frcs lpo ocvm web cat ...does this really help us to make more money ?
Those young and smart ones left, either by PIP or retrenchment or your find good place, good for you. Having something like this in your early days may not be bad thing. Those young and smart still undeciding, also good for you at least safe for now so you can have more time to up skills and find a better job. Those in mid career and stuck in your position, 10yr ++ hard to switch, good luck and hope company make tons of money, crude price up up... Good times are gone, whether hipo or not chances for a good overseas assignment deminished, if you do get one good luck, but chance is low.. still have expat around here cost $1m a year for one family but cut engineers, analysts to double up local ppl work.. no wonder the moral is low.
Why pay off workers when we can make it really uncomfortable, undesirable to work here with high workload and PIP them off. Saves $$$, which means there’s more to give as offerings to masters in Irving? The Singapore govt can’t do anything at all, when there’s foreign powers. Just look at how MCCY deal with the national day song. You expect MOM to be different. The minister of trade and industry will just tell you that you can’t compete, so need new skills and the country needs more foreigners to help you. Good luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.
Don’t think EM has enough budget for the next retrenchment. PIP will be the best solution to push out employees.
how many trailing spouses still around?
For the dreamers who are labelled “hi po”- wake up! Those exited recently a few of them were “hi po” too ! Posted Houston or Fairfax ( you might not know Fairfax bec you are too young in the company still lol) for assignments . Today , they were shown the door ... you “ hi po “ status last as good as the next assignment , dreamers !! “Hipo” ? Hippo lah . F
boss: all good?
hi-po: yes all good, this is my letter ;)
How about the WeAreExxonMobil committee? That one should be high visibility- and relatively straight forward. Just chant the usual BS of care of compete to win, winning and parrot what DW says - and it will be deemed a complete and absolute success. Is registration open yet? Or it’s only reserved for the hiPOs and boot lickers?
Liar!!! ESRC got no more funding so nothing for you to leech. That’s why now only Zoom calls.
Please go to WIN instead. Heard recognition is higher there.
I have been tagged executive potential by management but I feel like quitting. Should I wait for package and continue to exhibit Weareexxonmobil values? I feel like if I continue to stay, I can kick more incompetent colleagues out first and maybe change the environment. Then I will pretend to show like I am sad they are leaving (you know you are doing it too) and we will meet again outside one day. I will do more ESRC activities and continue to leech off your membership money.
I’ve won a global award and got praised by a manager for exhibiting weareexxonmobil behaviors. I’m safe right?
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”.

The warning is already in the letters of the company !
