By the time the country study is completed and the guillotine falls on the next 20-30% that will have to go ................. and if you happen to be mid-career (mid-30s to late-40’s), with mouths still to feed, children to school/tutor, an outstanding mortgage and car loan, various card/personal/overdraft loans to settle, piling maintenance fees, with little savings to last even 3-6 months.
Imagine the consequential impact on your family’s livelihood.
Sell your car and downgrade your house to a smaller flat, even at forced negative equity, or a mortgagee sale - meaning that you have to throw good money after bad, just to get out of a debt!
An LPS question for you: What is the worst thing that can happen?
This is real and will happen to the next 20-30% of us here! Very soon.
Exit? To where?
Please ladies and gentlemen
Have your exit plan ready, dont be the last one standing on this sinking ship.
Wave will hit us hard once study of country evaluation is done.
Wow! So many viewers. Good site to advertised and get free traffic. I'm not working for Exxonmobile, but I can feel that the company has done something very bad to the employee. Not too sure what is PIP, some retrenchment programme with bad compensation ?? My comment to the management, if you dont value your employee, the entire company will not trust your leadership, how you going to lead the company out of crisis. Singapore is a small island, the bad deed done will surely have negative consequences on exxonmobile brand.

Congratulations on your safe evacuation and please pass us some luck as we are still suffering here. This episode has revealed the true malevolence of so-called managers here. They are the venom of society; worthy of nothing except basement 18 hel- The only satisfying thought is for karma to catch up with them soon.
For the rest of us, chin up and let’s help each other get through this as much as we can.
Left EM and feeling tremendously sorry for the rest of the ppl in EM, hovering on the rope to a safer / higher post. It is obvious this workplace is not only toxic, it pose risk to the mental well-being of a normal sane professional.
Downward spiral in this organization where a once respectable manager turned herself away when her team member seek her support as a referral.
Every individual in the company is not truthful when they spotlight themselves on their ability, enhance visibility..blah blah cr$p nonsense when all they care is their own rice bowl.
Company in such a Poor state, deserting their loyal employee.
It's very f**ked up and everything is secret. In the U.S., little to no severance in an economic downturn similar to the Great Depression. For an employee of 20+ years with a family, this is turning my family upside down. Yes, I know the U.S. can get away with this legally, but it is very unethical. Singoporeans have some protection or at least some rights to severance if laid off. We have none.
With long working hours, knowing that no one's job is secure, my motivation is down the drain, I keep having anxiety issue since Aug even though I'm not PIP-ed. Anyone else feels the same?
The workers really deserve better leadership that the trash which we are getting right now from Houston / Dallas. It has been pi$$ poor so far!
Agree, the work culture is extremely toxic. Full of back stabbers and people trying to climb over dead bodies to climb up the corporate ladder
Don't work too hard here, as it has negative returns. Mental well being and psychologically hurt deeply. If still young better look outside which is greener to realize potential, if anchored in the middle better be careful - way overpaid. At the top now, probably safe, but constantly get cursed behjnd. worthy it?
There’s no dividends to give when there’s no more company cash to raid when there’s no more employees willing to work for a sham.
EM should k–l all current taking PIP, save more money for shareholder's dividends. Still holding some .XOM share. EM management to protect shareholder interest as your number 1 priority. EM management you can do it.
It shouldn’t be 30%. It should be 38%, and that’s just being fair to those people who shouldn’t be labeled as Needing Significant Improvements.
Not good at all! It’s rubbish! Others at Shell are getting 1.5 months per every year of service. This EM really hoodwinked all the employees - telling us no bonus, but will steadily pay out AWS through good and bad times. Now we know it’s just BS, and the only thing kept steady is dividends.
Supervisors and managers need to stop perpetuating lies that we are a long time company. Everyone is on an annual contract.
Why are you all anguished about PIP & PIL? That’s water under bridge already. It had only affected 8% of employees. Now expecting the bigger guillotine to come - maybe up to 30%.
Heard it will be 2 weeks for every year service, up to max 25 weeks. Good or not?
Already cried at MOM. Not working. That’s why posting on a layoff board. Trying to get more sympathies and get a movement going...
How about you?
Boohoo. Now go cry to MOM how your undignified life is in shambles. Maybe if you had any honor you wouldn't be on a layoff site complaining as much.
Yes you are right! A lot of Singaporeans are fools, voting in a government who bring in lots of migrant workers, depressing wages and turning a blind eye to unethical layoff practices.
Apparently don't have brains either. No wonder so many of you were PIP'd.
Let’s be realistic.. MOM can’t/won’t do anything..
We can’t have dignity because we are not paid million dollars. That’s why we are escalating to ministers who are paid this kind of amounts to solve this kind of problem. Otherwise, what’s MOM for? Approving S-pass easily to others?
You're speaking to the wrong person bud. I'm a worker bee just like the rest of the people let go. Continuing to cry and complain about what's going on is just humiliating yourself. "MOM, please help us! We can't do anything because we are so pathetic!!"
Grow a pair, dignify yourself and move on. You have no honor by fighting this.
You shamelessly exploited EM employee to save your own a–. Don't fkg talk about honour and dignity here
@13emi+16zEvLP3 The secret to win is more women interest network sharing! Lolz.. seriously can we stop that and focus on helping the bottomline for once?
No one cares. Have some dignity and honor and move on.
Any leaks on the severance pay that comes with the country study for Singapore?
It’s better to ask here since the news is a lot more timely and accurate than P&GA’s release.
EM Singapore should look into the current work process and think about how did we end up like this. The so called leaders or analysts dated 4 to 5 years ago have to be questioned and held responsible.
The mindset is always to tank the position for 3 years and move, without understanding what will happen after. So to the future upcoming leaders on the management career path, this is what happens. You may end up not being able to satisfy your 1:1 KPI, because there won't be anyone left.
If someone injects $25 billion in Uncle Sam’s dollars into your country, will you close one eye on that someone doing a disguised layoff. I would.
If there’s any more cases, please report to MOM.
Also consider suing the company. Let this kind of despicable acts be well publicized in courts and in the papers. Let EM Singapore decide the kind of publicity it gets!
JoTeo is only interested in political theater - weeping in parliament but no real decisive action taken against bad actors. Oh wait, it’s one of the largest investors in Singapore. Alright - nothing to see here folks, don’t hold your breath waiting for anything.
@13gff+16zEvLP3 Unbelievable.. why would they read this? If you want.. lodge a complain to MOM. Quit whining like a baby here.. I know the ministry do follow up..
As long as EM Singapore hires those that were displaced through PIL or PIP. It is okay. If they don’t.. then we have an issue. I heard EM may want to use re- organisation as a way out. But let’s see..
MOM official if you're seeing EM management saying MOM doesn't care this disguise retrenchment. No action by MOM. Don't let EM get away with their irresponsible act.
We believed in what Josephine said in parliament: "we always here, listening to their struggles, thinking deeply about the support they need, recognising the constraints, adjusting policies in their best interests, finding better ways to protect them against unfair practices"
At least American employees are taking it on the chin and moving on.>>> HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nice joke to lighten the mood.
Thought the American employees went to WSJ? The Yankee cowboys do put up a brave front and that’s all there is - a brave front, pretty much like DW.
By the way, the US government didn’t pay EM to keep the American employees employed.
No one cares that Singapore let employees go. All I gather is that Asian employees are whiney and complain. For people that claim to have "honor" you sure cry a lot.
At least American employees are taking it on the chin and moving on. Something that you people can't seem to do. So honorable..
Why hasn’t $hit Times cover this? What about Mother$hit? Only business insider talked about Singapore?
Someone from the mainstream media should run a story on how EM Singapore disguised a layoff with a performance asessment and branded hardworking, loyal employees as needing significant improvements! They should give this coverage instead of some trashy news on how some JB folks took a yacht to wave to their stranded families at Woodlands. Come on!
Who in HR is calling the shots here? Is it the HR in Singapore or is it in Houston or is it in Dallas?
The government should claw back the JSS given to EM, because I don’t see any Singaporeans being saved from such disgusting treatment (disguised layoff) by the company.
Suggestion is to take away SLS role, let the leads act as the group lead while still having the DH as the goto for career development. Very often I see that the SLS not experience enough to plan for our career development. They should go in my opinion.
can't help but noticed fanciful zoom backgrounds, spending your time on it? Come on... grow up.
