@86w3 support functions very high risk. It is logical right? GSC can do a better job with a fraction of the price.

to all engineers and technicians, pls start looking elsewhere. It’s not worth staying here no matter how high the salary is. Do not trust a word that the management says. I hope that there’s a mass resignation till the point that supervisors have to do all the dirty work. Only then will they realise how useless they are and should be the ones getting cut.
And how many non citizens are working here?
All Foreign talents should go. They can develop in their own countries. Singapore doesn’t need them now. We don’t even have enough jobs for ourselves.
Those impats (expats in SG) from China and India should be first one to go back. They taking our jobs here at higher pay. They can develop themselves in their own country.
500 is only conservative estimate, actual numbers could be much more, excluding those fall into PIP for both mpts and nmpts
Get those Superintendents out first la. Day day walking around smoking talk rubbish. Farming their high pay only. Extras like those sg mayors
Their dream is no engineers, outsource T and E to btc and kltc. If you know that, you can play the same game as them
jvp should just retire alr. they should combine MLT to make mfg more efficient! send back all the extap management please doesn't help with the situation and only know how to make engineers/technician rage quit
Can EM follow Schlumberger example and fire senior management....
Sad to see the company in this sorry state, it’s unprecedented. Hope there is light at the end of the tunnel
@86w2 i was in the company over a decade. And over the times have seen mutlitple times how heartless and despicable they can be.
Covering up of injuries to keep KPI in check; thinking of ways to avoid payments for work related injuries; forcing people out with despicable tactics, especially with old timers.
FYI, i am already not with EM anymore. U can treat it as my grudge towards the company ot whatever that makes u happy. You do u. Have a great day.
Anyone know which department will be fully offshore next to India?
@86vx so noble Sia. Say until like some matyr. Cannot find a better paying job say la. You know u can’t find a job out there and that’s the truth 😂😂
Downsize all the way, potentially sar2 on sales if got buyer
Yeah keep stirring about what happened after leadership hot mic incident La. It's all talk until you share exactly what they said
We entered the Company, hoping to carve out a career, or at the very least of a good paying job to provide for our family. We gave our time, sweat and sometimes even blood to ensure the operation of the Company. We grind through the tough times, deal with ridiculous, unreasonable managers, endure being looked down by the 3rd world foreign talents, sacrificing our personal health and family times when the Company "needs" us. Countless events when the ground is working tirelessly, all while believing its worth it.
But the truth is, the Company never really cares. Their speech is crafted to show care, but its never in their heart. Anyone who is not in their circle can be disposed of anytime to protect their own interest. Believe that Refinery manager doesnt know this retrenchment is coming? Believe that when the DHs said that we r a family? Belive that SLS committed in helping your PIP?
Wake up people. Majority, not all, are at that level simply becuase they are ruthless. They can step on anyone to reach that level.
Wake up people. Do not place hope that if you work even harder you will be spare. Cherish your time and mental well being. Start something outside of EM even if u r still in EM,dun be naive and when your time is up, u have something to fall back on
When will the official first round happening or are they regurgitating their old playbook of pip the he-l out of everyone?
All are fakely positive
I think nmpts will only get PIP separation packages to remove extra headcount’s since no official retrenchment offered.
was what they said after the call positive or negative?
Exxon is the best Company.
What exactly did they say?
What I can say is that they have zero empathy for us and it’s all fake when they say they care.
Those that stayed a little after the call, what did the leaders accidentally say about us? Must be very interesting, so do share!
Go listen to this CNA podcast about forcing people to quit when placed under PIP
https://www.channelnewsasia.com/listen/work-it/asked-quit-when-dismissals-become-unlawful-terminations-5374496?cid=FBcna&fbclid=IwdGRzaANKyzxjbGNrA0rJBWV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEe3t2IC8MvKX0XdDkYlyFwZa55bNh5epjIIUqyH6ppSsgIS5h4ZV8VRmwa0oY_aem_zIF10IZBOnVG17F2CDujrw&sfnsn=mo
According to an SA that worked closely with SLS and above, the appraisal for this round clearly intented to place more % of MPTs into NI/PIP grp. The intent is clear, regardless of how achieveable the PIP goal is, the main goal is to force them out on their own. Goal seemingly seems achievable but ultimately pass or not is dependable on the SLS.
Some people even overheard a SLS telling another SLS that quite a pain in the a-s to write up a "achievable" plan but to force the person out in the end.
Ethics? Integrity? Everyone is only looking out for their own interest.
@7yr0 those people that plans all this deserve a special to rot in he-l.
All the talks about "family", "comrades", "team" and in the end they throw the people under the bus.
Cut by end-2027, which means there is still around 2 years to be fully exploited, with little chance of increment and all the toxic environment for you to deal with. Because you still have that little bit of hope you will not be affected
But then, they will still said bye-bye to you, and your management can claim credit because you had already help to ensure their job is safe, by doing everything for them, ensuring things can still work after 2027. They only have to follow whatever documentations or things you had suggested during this time (hoping by doing this, they will not sack you)
Got to give it to those people on top who thought of this, have to said this is a super brilliant plan!!
@86q6 we can try!!! make sure you sign up if ESRC approve budget!!!
@86rk pls share
Is only Wave 1, another wave will be coming. Get ready!
@86rh I know some colleagues using WFH hours to meet up, take care of children, take property agent and do their groceries. One champion even using clicker app for show she is online!
50% cut in MPT, why not? We can certainly do more with less!
Walau need to go pioneer now. Sigh.. all the tiko peh ops..
@86rk what did they say after the meeting ended?
Anyone heard what our “leaders” talk about us the “family” when the second communication session was over and they forget to end it?
Team,
We’re thrilled to unveil our brilliant workforce strategy leading up to 2027. Please take notes, as this is pure corporate gold:
- Advance Notice = Free Resignations
By announcing retrenchment years in advance, we cleverly motivate employees to quit on their own. Imagine: people voluntarily walking out without us spending a cent. Genius.
- The PIP Express
For those stubborn optimists who stick around? Easy ,slot them into a PIP. Suddenly, “performance” becomes the reason they leave. Goodbye severance, hello savings.
- Relocation as Attrition Tool
Moving from Harborfront to Pioneer is not a “logistical decision” it’s our most powerful resignation generator. Why fire people when the commute can do it for us? + The stench will deter the yoga gang.
- Contractual Enlightenment
Once the herd thins out, anyone surviving the retrenchment study can simply be converted into contract workers. Flexible! Agile! Also, conveniently disposable.
With this four-step plan, we save money, reduce headcount, and pretend it was all voluntary. Harvard Business Review, please, hold your applause.
Sincerely,
Your Totally Benevolent Leadership
Summary of the retrechment
