@7w62 that was in the past. Industry standard is now 2 weeks per year.
too many process positions that is not required. RL in Process team? Day SS for SAR2? a waste of space and $
The last “good” package was 1 year 6 weeks paid to the GREF people when they transitioned to CBRE in 2017. Many of them are still with CBRE, some still working alongside us. Very lucky folks
@7w62 1 year 1 month
Does anyone recall the severance package details from 2021? How many weeks of compensation was offered per year of service?
Did the mothball SOP post got deleted? Wow HR really doing their job well
just listen to the feedback with a pinch of salt la, part of their wayang show. Better wear a mask so when you cringe so hard, they can't tell.
Vague, uncontrollable feedback like 'too competitive' or 'not visible enough' is useless—it offers no solutions, shifts blame, and ignores effort, so demand specifics: What should I change? and if none exist, accept that rankings are often political, not merit-based.
No daybus can buy car guys. Coe cheap now everyone earning at least 20k per month in Exxon. If u are not you deserve to be pip.
Must be some joker from the refinery side who thought that Singapore polyethylene plant is SPP.
Anyway read your contract la, it says 3 months has always been the norm but they never promise you 3 months leh
What you mean PP, PE should be the one closing ma, since they producing PE not PP
Huizhou chemical plant was reported to start up already with 1.6 million ton of ethylene and 1.2 million tons of polyethylene yearly. That is huge as compared to us. When are we shutting down SOP and SPP?
Cutting benefits while demoralizing employees may be pushing "quiet firing". Making staffs to quit to avoid layoff costs, bad PR, or union risks. Toxic leadership might want a leaner, compliant workforce or prep for outsourcing. High performers leave first, productivity drops, and toxicity grows, harming the company’s reputation. Employees should document changes, network with colleagues, and consider exit options. This tactic signals poor leadership and short-term thinking.
Exxonmobil Singapore is laying off employees part 2
After 646802 views, 2281 reactions and 4684 replies, I lay to rest the most epic thread on the layoff and give you the sequel
Go to: https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1k05735df +1k05735df
The best part for Crisp is, after ground staff put in their blood and sweat to it, once it stabilised they will start to PIP off people Hahas!!
This is the world class company ExxonMobil forever!!!
What is the status of CRISP?
I hear that the product quality of the heavy Grp II lubricant is not meeting expectations especially color.
Now they want to discontinue all the Day bus into JI. What kind of bs is this. People are paying $60 a month. Now all have to fight for the JE bus.
Really We Are EM
Time to shift the convo to a new thread or to this sub - https://www.thelayoff.com/exxonmobil-singapore
Seems like the platform can’t really handle so much activity whitin a single thread. The counters already not updating properly (still stuck at “last 13d ago”), no idea what’s going on there. Better move before replies start acting up too.
LOL. And your raise is based on the lowest ranking from the last two years. Because, according to company logic, a good performance might just be a fluke but a bad one? Oh, that’s definitely the real you.
They could reward your best year. They could just go by your most recent review. But nah this way, they save a few bucks by holding your raise hostage another year. Or better yet, if your ranking dips again? Congrats, the two-year clock resets!
Bonus genius move: Some smartaxs in the ivory tower definitely patted themselves on the back for this one pocketing the savings while calling it “performance-based incentives.”
CRISP is like a handicapped child, 1 step up and 2 steps down. Leaks and trips everywhere. Team is falling apart, gonna have more drama once ranking result is communicated to them
@7v6v what's RL?
Why are they bringing down RL CL? What is going to happen for career path?
It’s always quiet before storm
We're all busy starting up CRISP.
the trolls are gone finally
This thread went silent for the 1st time in 5 years...you all OK?
It's time to move forward.
I understand the attachment to the oil and gas industry—the high pay, the familiar culture, and the stability it has provided for many of us. However, holding on to an industry that is clearly on the decline isn’t a demonstration of loyalty; it’s a form of self-sabotage. I’ve seen too many individuals spend years unemployed, waiting for an opportunity that never comes, while others have made successful transitions. Some have pivoted to renewable energy, while others have entered entirely different fields.
Adapting may not have been easy, but neither was breaking into the oil sector years ago. The difference now is that you have experience and transferable skills. Knowledge gained on the rigs can be applied to wind turbine technology; safety certifications are highly regarded in manufacturing, and the list goes on. It’s time to stop defining yourself by a single industry and explore the broader opportunities available. At the end of the day, pride doesn’t pay the bills.
i find it funny knowing some department heads knows nothing and don’t have experience as supervisor. it’s a joke that you never done the training like us supervisor and never done PA then become department heads. tc or site. it’s a joke. exxon just look your behavior so funny. if you eat a lot of people. keep posting on linkedin and facebook. rara everywhere then you’re good DH and manager. joke on us!!! hello we don’t do work is it.
hello new dhs, how’s your first PA session? first!!!! exxon is a joke!!! you promote people just in how you feeeeel the person is credible. it’s a joke! i’m fu--ing out of this company. all lies

Traditional oil refining: The sunset industry
EM probably will be the last one standing. Question will be till when??????? 😟
@7rgy it just happened in the UK though.. last week just announced to impacted people, you can see a few posts down
Layoffs? Dream on. Dewoods is too busy hiking his own pay—20% every damn year, su-king everyone dry just to stuff his pockets. You think he’d ever give a real layoff package? Use your a-s to think—this’ll never happen.
@7rdf I’ve been waiting for a package for 2+ years and keep coming back to this forum, and then it struck me that any random id--t can talk co-k on a anonymous forum and spread rumours that they make up.
any news on singapore sale or layoff potentially later this year? just rumors?
he is just another boss, not a leader. He didn't help to fix the mess in engineering, just cruise through like another assignment, just like the many others
He’s very aware of the current situation and knows he might not be able to last another 10 years. This could be his final post. He’s a nice guy, and I don’t like you guy speaking badly of him.
Wow, DH doing his own self glorification on LinkedIn and making sure he is still useful for next 25 years. He forgot those that helped propelled him to where he is now likely >50% left already. If you really that good just do and the results will tell, don’t need to post such self inflating reflections, will just pi-s more people off only…
12 Signs Your Boss Is Toxic
(And It’s Absolutely Not Your Fault)
Sometimes, it’s not you — it’s leadership. Here are the red flags to watch for:
- They dim your light to protect their position and maintain control.
- They play favorites, rewarding loyalty over actual performance.
- They shut down new ideas without truly listening.
- They ignore your boundaries, expecting replies 24/7.
- They micromanage, showing they don’t trust your skills.
- They gossip under the guise of confidentiality to manipulate how others see you.
- They take credit for your work, passing it off as their own.
- They never take responsibility, always blaming others when things go wrong.
- They make big promises, but rarely follow through.
- They stir up drama, using chaos as a form of control.
- They belittle you, just to boost their own fragile ego.
- They vanish when real leadership is needed most.
Sound familiar? If even a few of these describe your boss, it might be time to reassess — because this isn’t on you.
Most of us who have been here more than 2 decades know we're getting a good financial deal while we are at xom, but the environment is soul crushing and future so bleak. For those in regional and global roles, global managers give all the opportunities to their own people - which is understandable, it's just how it is.
If there is a package offered in SG, like in the UK, many people will take it. It's a win-win for us and company - we retire early, company gets rid of dead wood. The chinese has a folk saying, "Easy to invite the deities into your house, difficult to get them out." Right now I'm like the tua pek kong in my team, and managers are managing me out via NSI/ PIP. I'm capable of doing good work, ranked well in the past, and I have no need to prove myself anymore; it's just that the good times have passed. My pay is high, I'll su-k it up and do my PIP. But give me some money for exit and I will happily ciao bella muah muah!
Speaking from experience, not everyone after leaving Exxon will gets a higher or way better pay when they were in Exxon..
After leaving Exxon at mid 30, no companies wants to hire me for process technician job. So got no choice go and upskill myself and then went for a career change. Despite putting in a lot of effort, I am not earning half as much as I earn in Exxon for now.. This is the truth hard fact that I need to accept.
Staying in Exxon is one of the choice that everyone has. So don't need to FOMO.. Eeryone path and What the will and can sacrifice is different
