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.
always the chemicals folks having issues
@880e should be SPE bah, always heard that their technical quit. Their side always mini SG studies hahahaha
@8812 normal la cecas do this all the time.
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
Pioneer refinery got gym? do i need to cancel my gym member now that i may not be able to have time for gym in city center
Which majority team resign in polymer
Don't leh, some PhD sls still doing biz trip OK, sgcx doing well OK
@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....
@87wf hopefully your entire family gets laid off and u run on welfare bro. People like your only pwn Sinkie then when it happens to you kpkb.
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.
@87z7 if you are that BTL I am sorry to tell you you are really not popular.
Better hope your godpa continue bobi you and not abandon ship.
@87wg polymer only 2 BTL, is so obvious you are are talking about the new guy, he is actually very good and try to help the technical.
@87z3 Mai sabo leh. Later EM ask us to declare then how? GG
Good idea! Can earn commission from selling Petrol Station, Refinery and best of all still got red carpet recognition on stage with CEO!
Tia gong some are taking property agent licence. I dare not ask controller izzit considered moonlighting? Take for knowledge only?
The Americans should be returning home by Christmas 2025.
@87ya the one left behind have to feel good. Or else the house of cards will fall. Lol but frankly, if all my colleagues are away today. It is still OK! KLCC and processes are established… we are all leeching. Lol
@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.
I’d take a hardworking and down to earth foreigner over one of you mean, unkind sinkies anytime. no wonder the culture at sgcx like sh-t. sorry not sorry.
@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 ???
@87t2 I’m a hbf jlb and I don’t own a car. CL lower than 26, 45 years old, sgd3M liquid assets saved in over 20 years in Exxon. Happy if I get a package and walk out today.
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?
@87sq you don’t own car meh? Cars are so affordable for a hbf jlb.
@87sh typical sinkie suffered long years in Pioneer and now want to drag others down with him
@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.
Meanwhile FAQ still see hbf people asking for transport to jurong ref. These entitled brats
@87qr this kind of economic climate still buy condo and new car. Those with no financial discipline and wisdom, hope the company let you all stay lah… we take package and happily go, leave the jobs and ranking for you
@87qp ok, who are the ones not doing work?
Song bo, not gonna hope for anything. Good luck to the people staying, don't forget what happened after sg study. It is just a repeat. Think it's top heavy? It is going to be heavier
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!
@87qq how do I escape the rat race bro I just bought my new launch 3 bedder and a new car last year.
@87px even if I'm promised outstanding with distinction I don't want. there's no glory in winning the rat race, you're still a rat. and it's so stressful to pretend to give a sh1t about WAEM, corporate strategy, DW videos, PDS and ranking peripherals like KOs, night telecons for years and years and years... oh my. I'm so done
