ExxonMobil appears to have a problematic middle management structure, where managers are perceived as more focused on self-preservation than on contributing to the company’s core goals. Many managers seem to be doing administrative or low-value tasks, with high pay and little impact on the organization’s productivity. This leads to a sense of inefficiency, as middle managers prioritize their own job security and try to rank their subordinates lower to protect their positions. This dynamic can be demotivating for employees and may be a drain on resources.

Layoff is good to cut the fats. We used to have very good engineers before COVID. After the first round of layoff , so many people left and we hired all sorts of nonsense just to make up for the lost headcount and keep the plant running. Shall not be too specific but we used to have this technical engineer in the unit producing this carcinogenic compound. He was so incompetent but the company took years to fire him last year. His teammates are also quite bad.

Need to be skeptical of those who graduated from unknown universities but went to NUS for masters to whitewash their educational background

@87w8 em... in case u forget, EM and most of the popular employers are foreign companies. Let go all foreigners, so all Singaporean lost their job and go back to 1960s? Bro being serious? Blaming others does resolve ur problem being non competitive....

Hello my technical friends, don’t argue about who is TSS and what he did. My boss said there is no separate technical division in future org. Let’s wait to receive package and leave EM.

@87wg It cannot be coincidence your majority team resigns in polymer and you are promoted as a reward.

@87sh we just concluded running carnival, we should be united and continuing praising everyone for their contribution to EM! We are one big EM family!

Then again, it is all for show and someone else’s ranking score. +10 point lol. 😂 so as to step on and not be stepped on.

@87w0 Haha, except for the Americans, there are no jobs left for the expats to get sent back to! UK, Europe, Canada, Australia are all gone.

@87wf your comment is obviously biased. If indeed so can you tell me why selective polymer technical left in the recent few yrs from the specific BU?

There are legit hardworking foreigners I don't disagree, but it is also obvious there are also foreigners just here to tick the check boxes and waiting to fu-k off and go back their country, so even if they fire the whole Singapore team no consequences

good people can be from anywhere. I’m local and I disagree let all foreigners go first. I’ve worked with great foreign colleagues who are better than fellow sinkies, they contribute positively to our community. also many of us locals have enough of this waem and pip sh-t and want package to go, so don’t spoil our chance with this nonsense.

In this bad situation, all foreigners should let go first. Singapore does not need them.

Exactly, what’s the point of having BTL, TSS and other mgmt. roles with expat having no functional knowledge? They pretend to care while all they care about if they are not the one’s to be sent back to home country while we live in limbo if we even will have jobs or not.

Hope management will have decency to send all Expats/Foreign talents back before they let go local talent. It’s painful to report to them, slog and get laid off while they continue to draw expat salary for many years doing 2-3 assignments in the name of development. Why cannot they be developed in their home country out of scope specially when majority of Singapore positions are being ported ???

Straits times 23rd Sep: Exxonmobil starts new plant in Singapore to produce higher value products

Straits time 1st Oct: Exxonmobil expects to cut about 500 Singapore staff by end 2027

Why work so hard , giving up family time to start up a new plant just to get cut? Is it worth the stress and the gaslighting by supervisors?

@87sh for decades we had buses what. A basic BYD is $200+k now. And don’t forget many of us were not always HBF people; we moved in and out of assignments and many worked in Pioneer and Jurong for years. What’s wrong with asking for buses if there’s critical mass of people? The parking situation in Pioneer circa 2010 was nightmare.
Glad I’d be done with people like you after I get package.

Rent out your condo and stay in JB / Parents home. It’s still a net positive. Your new car will get you five star ratings but mind the LJF. Difficult to get MSW. It’s a jungle out there!
