Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

The 3 comms sessions really productive!
1st by country manager sounded like a pre recording.
2nd by site manager starts with “no questions shall be entertained” and when he finished, quickly hung up
3rd by DM: repeat, repeat. Cannot answer questions like why need another 4-5 days before communicating to the individuals when the name lists already known and amount to be paid already calculated (DM accidentally flash on laptop)

Another case of why supervisors are having a victim mindset. We are helpless if our leaders continue to make decisions like this and find excuses to justify decisions made by “HQ”?? or maybe it’s HR?? Nobody has any accountability anymore. Let expats run the show. Most are here only 3 years anyway. Expat good at counting beans and talking.

By the way, no supervisors in Technical or ES will be laid off. All working engineers. Good for them!

Hotel California....damned its a good one really love it lah bro.

I'll be singing
Its The Final Countdown

All The Best and Good Luck
Enjoy Cheers
To all my fellow NMPT Brothers and Sisters

# WE were EXXONMOBIL

$$$ in the pocket is surely better than $$$ hanging on the trees. Congrats to those lucky chaps!!

For the NMPTs, it’s like Hotel California leh ..... “You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!” LOL!
Sign on until you yourself decide to quit later on, without any compensation benefits. Hahaha!
Otherwise, need to report for work on time every time, don your full PPE, do bump test, perform LPSA for every task that you are about to do / AAA and submit LPO (got quota some more) like kenna tekan and then followed by LI or NLI for each error you make!
Repeat the above cycle, every day, for the remaining part of your working life in EM.
Good luck!

This round is mpt, next round will be nmpt soon.

So far 7%, 8% more to come...

Cheer up Singapore... there is a whole new world outside of EM, if you’re prepared to dedicate time and effort to deliver real work and value. Those desperately hanging onto this sinking rust buckle are the jiak liao bee managers who know that no other companies will be dumb enough to pay them to sprout BS rhetoric as a full time job.
I left 1.5 months ago and looking forward to work for the first time in a decade. Lost a decade of youth to this stinky company and now recuperating from the damage done. Slowly regaining my lost brain cells, common sense, beauty and sense of humour. Good luck everyone.

Lol nMPTs got the short end of the stick. The company simply doesn't want to pay them 1-2 years worth of compensation. Too bad, that's how Exxon values our front line hahaha.

Serious qn, is there still stigma of getting retrenched during Covid time? If you're unfortunately asked to leave this year, would you rather be retrenched or go through PIP/PIL? Putting compensation aside, which would hurt your career prospect more? I feel there is no difference btw the two and you could reason times are bad and the company is downsizing. wdyt?

Useless com sessions that created even more choas and further drove down the morale.
For those who are lucky this round you are getting the compensation and look for new opportunities, while the next round PIP will bring nothing to those to be axed and it is just around the corner.
By the way, this mild action from sg workforce study is not bringing the actual value for the company to survive better so surely there will be further cut using other tools, anyway they will keep creating new tools like b—s— TMTS..

Painful times. Time to switch lane.

Those are lucky workers, for sure. Their work will be redistributed to others. I will be very upset to absorb the work from these lucky workers.

I’m looking forward to:

1) the strait times interview with the lucky workers who are let go, so that they can expose the despicable practices of management.
2) the WIN email to improve my mental health.

Anyone the same as me?

DW is a scumbag and I wish there’s someone to tell him that.

Clarify a typo error on “ UNETHICAL as a ‘responsible’ employee” to be “EMPLOYER” instead of “EMPLOYEES “

@37pnd+16zEvLP3

Who are you to say that the people in Singapore has ‘no’ honour? For. Company to use ‘Performance-based’ lay-off (typically it is less than 1% but it ballooned to double digit now) when they always claim that they hire the best (cannot say for sure going forward with such reputation) so as to avoid paying severance pay (UNETHICAL as a ‘responsible’ employee),this says a lot about the Company. The disguised lay-offs came just a a few months after the employees were told that it is expanding and need more people (DISHONEST or POOR BUSINESS LEADERS). The ‘Hire-Fired’ policy (BAD EMPLOYER and DISHONEST) when times turn bad which they claimed in the past that it is not their policy. Company continues to pay same dividends to shareholders and cut employees to reduce cost (very “shorten-term” Employer with BAD BUSINESS MANAGEMENT) blamed Bad business environment (COVID and possibly the Trade wars) as the main reason to cut costs (lay-offs as one of them (Poor Strategic Planning and Business Management). These are few of the many qualities of a ba Company to work in. It is wrong of “@37pnd+16zEvLP3” to label Singaporean “has no honour “. Who will want to work in such a Company, whose contributions are not recognised and employees are not treated/considered as an asset to a successful Company. I hope this person will retract or at least apologise for his ‘labelling” of Singaporean. We are very hardworking, highly motivated and dedicated workforce with high skills.

Thought the message from GC is pre recorded until Q&A.

Sad to see a company I once enjoyed working for 10+years go down like this. Did the comm session today by management seem emotionless when they announced the news?

The parents at Dallas are worse. Makes the worst decisions, while wasting resources and never allow the babies to make decisions in Singapore. So get your root cause analysis right?

Jeez. The people in Singapore have no honor. Quite literally the biggest babies in the company. Good riddance to the 300 being let go.

It’s so frustrating. There’s totally no justice @ all that DW is still employed.

MOM didn’t do anything back when they first PIP.

They won’t do anything this time too.

With JT at MOM, please don’t expect anything from her. We deserve what we voted for.

YES VERY BIGGEST CONGRATULATIONS TO THE LUCKIEST 300
Hell is finally over.
WE are all very jealous of you ALL

All leftovers unlucky good dedicated hardworking loyal EMPLOYEES every day every nite just get ready be prepared to be unethically under instruction to be PIP-ing NLI-ing LI-ing kick out for even the smallest mistakes by your leftover bosses.

MOM PLEASE TAKE NOTE OK

Congrats to the lucky 300 who have been selected by EM to pull off this PR stunt. At the minimum, they are being jettisoned from this sinking rust-bucket in a dignified manner.
The real test is the impending PIP. Be prepared to be stabbed left right centre top to bottom by your XOMbified managers and peers. For the remaining ones, please practise self-care and put your own well-being above all. Good luck to all and may you find your next raft /rescue boat soon.

EMIT - 74
F&L - 110
Chem - 37
procurement - 9

No one from treasurer’s and finance.

Never understand why the management is appreciative of our hard work and we have the results to show for, but we are subjected to layoffs and PIP, whereas Dallas cowboys are still getting RSUs and bonuses? Was hoping there’s someone who’s enlightened to explain why this is the case:

For Manufacturing:
Refinery = 6
Chemical = 28 !!!

Of which:
Refinery Technical = 3
SCP Technical = 14 !!!

I’ve always treated WIN emails as passing WINd... a necessary expulsion of intestinal gas.

wins and pga spams are waste of mailbox space

WIN spam made me sick every time I see it in my inbox.. please focus on REAL work!

Since the gov can't do anything about the unethical severance of our peers last Sept, why spend more to compensate for retrenchment? This 300 personnel cut is obviously for show, the real show is this sept. PIP...

Don't wait alr. Comrades, Try applying here, probably can give ytu increment.

Not saying that only the retarted will choose to stay. That's simply not true. Lots of brilliant minds here. But it is definitely true that EM will choose to treat everyone who stays as r—ds. So go figure.

@37wpq+16zEvLP3 —- you mean to say WIN won’t come up with any emails to tell us to take care of our mental health or something of sorts? We just received one this week?! Another tone deaf person- bet you are good at planning and powerpoints.

There’s only 300 because it’s way cheaper to use PIP to remove folks, so the survivors have it tougher. Hope all of you are up for it and compete to win!

Read so many frustrated, anxiety comments. If not given a good package, just trip the whole plant and walk out EM gate. Just watch the big flaring for celebration.

Not sure what’s your issue with WIN. Remember that is made up of volunteers and your fellow colleague and friends. Why take it out on them?

DW is a joke

"This is a difficult but necessary step..." said the spokesperson. —- the most necessary step is to get DW out of his job because he’s obviously not up to the task and install an external CEO for an external perspective. Our shareholder returns has been piss poor and we are cutting employees to cut costs - but still give DW and his inner circle of a–kissers RSUs. What gives?

I’m pretty sure there will be emails from WIN or some other network that covers how to handle stress @ work. Watch this space! Naturally, it will be the platform to trumpet care and other values of #weareexxonmobil! I’m shocked that no one has come up with the hashtag #dw4eva...

EMIT has it worst, but not a surprise. A lot of EMITers has been cruising for some time....
