Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Team,

We’re thrilled to unveil our brilliant workforce strategy leading up to 2027. Please take notes, as this is pure corporate gold:

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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.

1. 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
500 head count cut for MPT (non technician level) , decision by mid-Dec
1 out of 2 cr--ker will be down (means 50% production vs capacity)
No more WFH (or stay home forever no need to come office d)
Move office from se-y harbourfront tower to plant

hbf folks have external demand thus have OPTIONS

Wonder if anyone stayed a bit after the 9pm call? Yikes

canteen kopi, weak in caffeine , diluted max

From luckin coffee to Kopi o kosong

looking at the comments, we likely see a stand off between hbf and non hbf people. Jurong gonna be exciting again.

Tips for the hbf folks, don't use your phone while walking, if you fall, remember to file impact and get your SLS to coach you how to walk. Remember to hold handrail, don't let the safety folks catch you not doing that, they will report to your SLS. Most importantly, don't bring KFC in.

Enjoy your stay guys

“Singapore employees are like a family”…. No wonder my parents retrenched me and replaced me with a lower cost foreign child when their salary got cut during ‘97 Asian Financial Crisis……..

I just bought a ccr condo now need to drive all the way to the west and sit with the plebs. wtf?

So this weekend running carnival how?

Impats (expats in Singapore) should be the first to go back to help with this mass balance. Especially here merely for development and home country that is not in scope…

WINNING!

Once you are selected under the redundancy program, prepare to get PIP and ask you to F off on your own so that company will not need to give you severance package

Can't wait to show hand my pokemon card collection to the hbf folks organising board game session

@86qc talk co-k nMPT CA got give separation compensation don’t be greedy

song bo, work so hard to start up CRISP
but everyone still needs to face the chopping board

God bless all! Can welcome more hbf people and maybe charge parking. Blessing more hbf with cars to go to oasis, Super Bowl and JP because no more wfh!

What happen to those who are undergoing PIP?

Nmpts might fall into PIP if no official retrenchment offered.

HBF got chiobus anot. Or all lao aunties?

@86q5 I recall nmpts are not included from this round of layoffs

Do they sell matcha latte at Pioneer? Asking from hbf.

Can’t wait for the yoga and all those bs activities to be at Pioneer and Jurong Island!

We welcome you, HBF folks!

Does that mean that boardgame will be conducted at jurong instead?

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 they remove the Exxon and mobil signs on top of harbourfront tower? lol

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
