Anyway this place is a sinking ship… it is time to look outside for other opportunities… your superior will always tie you back by saying “ now it is hard to get a job outside la and etc” we all know if all the ground staff leaves, they need to bear all the consequences, like training new people and etc
Too many SLS level and less working people. SLS and higher up cannot cut because they are the people ranking. Most SLS know nothing about technical only do lip service.
BTC rocks. Please up vote me
I knew of at least two people in my business team who went on long term absence because of work illness.
How much does the MLT want to squeeze us ?
Not trying to slight anyone but it's a job that nobody wants anymore to be honest.. at least quite a few of us have moved on to other external opportunities over the years.
BTC will take away KLTC jobs.
We kltc gonna take all your jobs ;)
How come there is no similar thread for KLTC? I think their working culture must be pretty damn good.
not just fei SLS la, so many ES SLS wanna act like they know how to do things. The worst has left for kltc, lucky us

“You are the specialist technician in this unit!!! and this year A grader you will be definitely in the list ” this is what my toxic boss always told me before a difficult start up or shutdown or preparation of super difficult equipment . But I will only know how special am I during appraisal Hahas. Some people work like MC of the unit also never get A. some of them when work get tough they always disappear also can get A
Hiaz this is how special Exxon is
share more details leh, you make it like FEI is the main character in engineering when the majority here doesn't understand what you are saying. Is it someone from base or project?
heard that mechanical "specialist" coming back after telling the world he's going US. haha funny leh. another damn headache FEI will have to suffer. can't wait to hear him to say "in my role, i meet a lot of people you know" "im very busy you know" "i've done this you know" " i know more than you do you know"
it's like we're getting a combo leh. fu-k we are so tired with drama
The company is trying to cut the headcount of full-time staff and replace it with contract staff. This will benefit the company's profit greatly as they can cut off contract staff and rehire as needed.
Ground staff will bound to suffer, as you need to clear off all the sh-t generated by the top and temp staff. your Hp will ring like 7 11 and the number of phone calls you need to answer every day is way more than the CEO of the company..
Welcome to the new ExxonMobil, where hardworking workers need to work harder than usual and the appraisal of the worker will be a "b"or a "c"..
This is a new world-class company, the company will offer attractive bonuses, "if you manage to make it out alive" to take the bonuses.
So angry and tired of all the bullsh-t that were happening since 2020. Even though my performance appraisal result was decent, I finally resigned this week without a job. I was managing what 2-3 people used to cover prior to COVID. Highlighted to my supervisor since last year that the situation was getting worse but the response was that it had always been a single person position (the poor soul before me was barely managing the workload before he left the role)
Mo--ns try to cut headcount at site to top up with TC engineers but TC engineers cannot replace site headcount properly. We want a TC engineer to replace a local headcount 1 for 1 but BU is expected to go to site engineer for any urgent request.
Frustrating things that I have experienced from the TC over the past few years
- TC engineer wanted me to join a meeting for her unit ON MY OFF DAY because she say she had difficulty stewarding the meeting without inputs from me (not sure which equipment is out etc) but that is your fu--ing job to be aware of whatever is going on at site. What’s so difficult about reading the handover log every morning?
- TC engineers sending colleague on a month-long wild goose chase to fix a valve which was actually functional because the long term monitoring sheet was set up wrongly.
- TC engineer unable to reconcile energy balance for months
- TC engineers totally don’t show up for regular meetings.
- TC engineer promised to follow up on a certain issue but forgot about the issue two weeks later
Provided the feedback that the TC is not proactive and just waiting for items to come but TC responded that site is not clear with the deliverables
Sometimes I wish CRISP didn’t happen (I don’t even know if CRISP is really profitable). we might get sold off like Shell and the new company decides to replace the management with their staff.
then perhaps the MLT might feel how how rank and file employees felt the past few years. TC can devote their efforts to supporting other sites (if their own attrition can be solved)
I gave up a job offer back earlier this year because I foolishly thought I will be an a--hole to leave while the site push for CRISP start up. Sc--w this and the turnaround , the TC folks can take my place
Expecting another round of lay off in 2025 after China one start up. Don’t expect free meal from EM.
busy leh. turnaround! ES wants another doctor thread or what leh?
why is it so quiet now?
just get rid of stupid bosses. can see people just follow because of performance leh. what a joke. look stupid. TA, you better be safe. or else not worth it leh.
sg with their d-mb comments below and accent.
Join the best unit Utilities!!! Last to shutdown and last to leave!!!
Hoping for retrenchment package If SOP1 shut down indefinitely. I don’t see any future here.
SOP1 will not start up after turnaround due to low market demand. When China one start up will make Singapore situations worse. If CRISP not making good profit , another round of PIP/layoff will come.
Don’t need to wait for 2 years la… Mother of all crashes have arrived. Some companies already started restructuring and laying off. We shall see 1 or 2 Q 2025.
2 more years. Then another round of layoffs will start. IYKYK
My department at chemical plant has this technical engineer who is so useless. Based on his performance the past few years and the number of medical leaves he had taken, I am amazed at how he was not asked to leave yet. The fact that he got his master in NUS makes me think that it must be a life hack for these people to get their master in local universities and then work in Singapore.
Need advice, how to connect?
I left EM a while ago when the company was at its peak. It was a difficult decision then, but it remains the best career decision in my life. My trajectory suddenly soared.
Who needs advice, leave a message. We’ll figure out how to connect
KLTC = Kuala Lumpur Training Center ? Whatever happen to site not needing to take care of KLTC’s competency level? I am wasting so much time cleaning up their mess, when I could have spent much less time and effort doing the work myself. After spending > a year trying to get them to take over site coverage, they resigned
KLTC can proposed and do things without consequences while site engineers get questioned hard , song bo?
I have been gas lighted by my boss until I got no choice but to leave the company.. who give a f@rk whether I die or i survive? Please la even if I go jump down from MBS my boss will shake leg and get his pay la… do you think he will feel guilty? No!!! He will splash dirt on me and said that I leave because I am not competent…
How many of the ground staff has left because they had the same predicament as me??
In this world as long as money in the pocket, they can cover up everything that includes feeling guilty…
Wake up your ideal please
if any one of them commit su----e because of cyber bullying, you would be sorry your whole life. and karma would hit you back slowly but surely. please don't talk bad about people when they can't defend themselves. bullying is not the answer guys. stop it.
Don’t put all blame on SK, BC is another id--t leh… both can change their office to smoking shelter. Can HR install a camera to track how many hours lost due to smoking?
Unfortunate that SSM and FDAC has been long corrupted by some SLS, esp SK - the master of favoritism.
Old man(SLS) must be cracking his head who sabo him and trying to track down my ip address, lol. The more you wana know, the more I’ll sabo you! Hahaha
Of course la, only know how to PLP and KPKB number one. Standing from 20m away can hear what they’re saying but only primary school level talks coz no qualifications. Siala, this kinds of standard can be sls? Coz they PLP very solid. Should have PIP long time ago right? Gods have eyes to see, let’s watch!
When Your Boss Labels You a Poor Performer… But You’re Not!
“We will be downgrading your role,” my former boss told me. “It’s clear to me that the lights are on, and nobody’s home. You aren’t making any impact in this job anymore.”
As I pushed for specific feedback, he was trying to quote but couldn’t provide any. I had been given the highest performance rating the previous year, and suddenly I was being labeled a poor performer.
I heard they PLP no.1
