You know what is redundant.
LPS advisors
Technical SLS
Reliability leads
I wonder how management justify bcr for such roles
Many SLS roles exist just to do adminstrative work bcus DH time are too "valuable" for it.

A union for MPTs needs to be formed, that is what HR and the company fears the most
Non MPTs dont take aws? Lol.
Bonus? Dont sack u good already.
Wow MPTs have it great
I'm new hired, I have a funny feeling working here, most of supervisors here are very fake. Faking to show concern helping the newbie, talk only no action. When help needed, they always ask you look for someone else, wonder if they have the technical knowledge to help. This organisation is so poorly managed, it's like a snake chasing its tail.
they already say we are exxonmobil, cut ops bonus so they can pay aws to the MPT
Ops tech bonus never pay us, management keep quiet, still try to help company saved $. now use dirty tactic to squeeze out people.
So much emphasis on LPS, LPO and what not to prevent or minimize loss, end up the company still lose money. Wasted alot of effort and time just to entertain clocking of the numbers to satisfy LPOs when we could have used the time to improve work process and maximize the hours to capture whatever credits or left on table.
EM at its best now, doing so much of NLI/LI on technicians but no blame culture on MPT for overrun meetings. RL is also another redundant role, always asking generic question after engineers spending so much time doing evaluation. We don't need a police for engineering, trust us as engineers.
Thanks to the Singapore HR witches who have no qualms when it comes to victimising their own people, mindlessly kowtowing to the whims and fancies of their manager as well as their gross failure to highlight the potential ramifications. This Australian HR dipshi- had gained so much confidence that he could bully Singaporeans with impunity; approved a dignified voluntary redundancy program for his fellow countrymen while engineering an underhanded poorly disguised PIP for Singapore. Had he dare to pull off the same PIP stunt in Australia, I would salute him for his guts.
Fellow Singaporeans, please do not lose hope. These scumbags are just pretending that their HR processes are stellar and capable of withstanding regulatory scrutiny. I’m sure they must running around like headless chickens when MOM first probed. They are merely lying low for now in the hope that this episode will pass quickly. Apart from the collective hope that this scum gets kicked and punched by a kangaroo in his own country, please take concrete steps to keep the pressure on MOM so that this episode continues to be a highlight on their career in EM. Start by requesting regular updates from MOM on the status of their investigation and encourage everyone else to do so. We need to demonstrate to MOM that we are not mere whiners and have every right as a law abiding taxpayer to demand a fair investigation and see punishment meted out accordingly.
These have been stressful times for impacted employees as well as those are wondering if they are next in line. Needless to say, please devote time to take care of your mental well-being and that of your family.
For those who have already secured their next job, congratulations and please keep a lookout in your new company to help a worthy friend who is still trying to stay afloat here. For those who are struggling in this current job market, please remain positive and be confident of your skills and ability; there are still opportunities out there . You are certainly NOT what these scum managers had labelled you as. Cheer up and and you will get back quickly on your feet again.
Let’s help each other tide through these difficult times. Take care everyone.
Yes don't need to whine. Just don't take it for granted, plan for your career. Be very careful of what our managers says, they don't mean to help us, we are just a short term resource to them.
Not too worried, but I agree the new hires better watch out. They are clueless, still competing to be better than one another, but in the end all of them will be gone. Good to leave
Sad how much the people of Singapore whine and complain on this sub. It's like they have no honor...
Come on, don’t whine. Take it on the chin. All above board and no one has gotten into trouble. HR manager in Australia approved it for Singapore and is still in his job. Might even get a promotion for a job well done.
The company using despicable path to reduce headcount has cause majority of the staff lòsing faiths with management. It's also interesting to see the management and thier runing dogs trying cover up their dirty act. My advice to coward management..do retrenchment openly, if no money, give one month also can...don't fxxking label people NSI.
Agree that it is not a great place anymore, not looking forward returning to work sometimes. Some may disagree because highly leveraged, this happens. It is also very hard to disassociate myself with the EM brand, could be due to arrogance and don't recognize any other brands in the world. It is challenging.
Frankly, it used to be a great place to work...not anymore. It is the extreme opposite now.
Agree, Especially the younger ones (3-5 yrs) need to plan, as they are the easiest to cut. So basically using PIP to reduce more people first then follow by country cuts, time to plan that departure!
Better plan before they cut and unload a hundreds of engineers to the market.
Look out. They wanna use pip to kick people out again. So typical. Announce at 1Q to say it’s performance related by the time you reach the second quarter.
Better to leave now after bonus before the flood open if your severance payout is little. Difficult to compete out there!
Already said no news until 1Q21.
Any other news from MOM?
Haha I think it’s fake news... there was nothing on “Tuesda today
let's just sit back and enjoy the cylon ride with seat belt buckled, it is almost end of year. we have been warned for weeks, and now official news on straits times and CNA, peers outside asking if DW is cutting us, anyhow we denied and still act strong. Seems like it is up to us, we either choose to be reactive or proactive to handle what may be coming. here we go...
Nah, nothing until 1Q 2021. In the meanwhile, enjoy your Christmas and AWS, and buckle up your seatbelts for some volatility!
Haha I think it’s fake news... there was nothing on “Tuesday”?
Getting prepared for the worst news on 17 Nov. Apparently the last post stating announcement on Tuesday was also accurate as some organisations received news as well. I hope this 17 Nov comes true again.
Heard the sg news out on 17 Nov. Prepare!
Many Americans also passed PIP. Likely had nothing to do with MOM.
@1aigt+16zEvLP3 Got to thank all those whom have reported to MOM. Else we will all be PIP-Ed out until they have reached their required headcount. Shows how credible the management team is now.. told investors that will remove employees via Darren Woods’ “special” performance assessment program. Now they are stuck with this.. lol..
Heard SG study delayed as well. Maybe they need time to deal with the government due to the sh– that they will unleash
I wouldn’t slag Gan, who’s one of the few decent people around and who did his very best to ensure the best outcomes for Singapore folks. Unfortunately, clowns in Dallas / Houston still calling the shots.
Singapore study won’t be out this year. Why is there a delay?
Wow 70K views. Won’t be surprised that LCM Gan throws a celebration to celebrate diversity of thoughts when we hit 100K views.
As always, analysts claiming millions of paper credits which never happen.
Wait for acquisition by some big bros, we have tanks from recent acquisition. Oh wait..that was a bad investment.
They can sell the Singapore affiliate but it’s a big site and there’s only a few capable of affording the place. At the same time, EM really s—$ in negotiating and it will be difficult to get the value we want in this market.
Singapore site won't be gone. It is grounded there but.......
meaning ExxonMobil can go bankrupt and do selling of some of its unit in Singapore as well as other countries?!...
Singapore site won't be gone. It is grounded there but some of our fellow employees will be gone from the cut for sure. Outside consultants will recommend buyers for piece of it. Remaining of us keeps the job but feeling unsatisfied. No loss to the country.
@18rjl+16zEvLP3 This is out of MOM’s hands alralready. If a company is sinking, they’d need to save the sinking ship and its billions of dollars already invested in Singapore.
There is nothing that the Govt of Singapore can, or will do, if it comes to that. What is worse? The whole company shuts down and everybody there gets retrenched? That’s not good for Singapore, right?
Any cheerleaders in Singapore shouting #weareexxonmobil while they announce the layoff numbers in Singapore? And till date, no action or reaction from MOM? What’s going on man with million dollar ministers sitting on their a$$, doing nothing to hold anyone accountable? We pay taxes all the time.
