PIP and retrenchments including both mpts and nmpts for 500 employees
Only MPT will be cut?
Is Aster still buying Exxon petrol station? Will this sale included in the layoff?
Will we see any reporting in CNA? Or, is this going to be a Agoda situation?
@86ps its ESSO and Mobil.

Will I still have my latte and high class vending machines if i leave hbf?
@86pg with or without workforce reduction, regardless mpt or nmpt, if u are communicated to be a low performing employee, and you don't work things to meet the expectations, chances are always higher to get ur head cut off compared to average or high performers. This goes without saying actually, in fact its the same every where you go in the outside world.
"Rules & Consequences".
hope the PIP thing will not happen. very smelly of doing things.
am sure many wayang and ang kat bolar will happen now.
For the workforce reduction, NMPT affected too?
“This is your Emergency Broadcast System announcing the commencement of the Annual Purge."
HBF offices will be sold. Staffs there will be relocated to Pioneer. Headcount cut will likely start from there.
No impact to Manufacturing sites except for SOP1 which targetted to be mothballed in 1Q26.
All personnel identified and projected in the headcut will be notified in mid dec 25. 'Fire & Forget' missiles away.
Good luck all.
For the rest especially manuf sites, goals &
targets remain unchanged. Good luck to us as well and may the future be a better one for all.
Anybody can summarize what will happen?
HBF folks, don’t ask so much what nots, just do your travel to Jurong like the rest of the workforce.
Stop being so entitled.
2 month per year service
India is going to ramp up hiring
Will they be given retrenchment fees as per the CA ?
3-4% reduction (per Darren email) is not the same as 3-4% layoffs. There is heavy recruitment in India which means a lot more than 3-4% layoffs in the high cost countries where layoffs are taking place.
Let’s go Singapore! 60 min countdown to the communication… may everyone get what they want… a job in this uncertain climate, or ang pow for those who have been waiting
@7yr0

@86nh no lah it’s our high SGD pay… half of Americans but at least triple of Indians
Imagine the folks who went on business trips spending large amount of money, now we are facing the consequences
round 2 of SG study. Manuf will not be spared
@86kz most likely it’s HBF people… PS, Supply Chain, support functions
I have received a meeting with process manager after 10, does it mean Singapore study again?
3-4% of global workforce to be laid off. How many will SGCX have.. hmmm..
10am tomorrow… LFG
Singapore check mailbox… our announcement is tomorrow morning 10AM
When will be the Singapore announcement?
Wow worldwide EM Layoff 2.0 is here
@84mk maybe nmpt skillset is not as valued, if we look outside our pay is still competitive. In other words, we have been overpaid for years. Next destination Saudi, like some folks who already went.
OT cuts for NMPTs are synonymous to hammering nails into a coffin. Base salary isn’t great and they rely a lot on OT and weekend work to have a respectable take home pay.
@84cf think is cut OT .
@849z wah lao... so no paycut for nmpt lah? just our resident troll talking co-k
mpts already cut in many ways you can't see. It's the management that needs to cut. NMPT here btw
@847a how come for paycut? Confirm?
Nmpts pay cut 5%, mpts should lead by example, pay cut at least 10%
When you start turning off the A/C, removing computer monitors, etc. it means that the refinery-chemical facility is for sale.
When you are interviewing for a job, you look for the following:
(1) is landscaping current?
(2) is the grass and tshrubs being watered?
(3) is the paint flaking off tanks, towers, the central office building. etc.?
(4) are there cracks in the sidewalks that are not being repaired?
(5) is there free coffee at the coffee bar?
(6) do you have to bring your own cup to the coffee bar?
(7) is there two-ply toilet paper in the restrooms or 1-ply?
...
If the answer is YES to most of these questions during your interview and walk around the facility, the asset is for sale.
If people forget to follow cost saving rule, 1st timer verbal warning, after 1st time PIP…
Save cost by cutting electricity cost and at the same time can cut human cost as well..
World class company move😂😂😂
Might as well decommission all coffee machine water coolers and ice machine
