You are right, man.
Company doesn't give a fxxk.
You are on your own.
Don't give it a try, especially TA folks, seriously take care.

PAC Asphalt line leak, Lubes Plant Crane topple, what’s next? TA guys, be vigilant. When you see something wrong, don’t care - run first. Company won’t give a damn, they just want to get things done. You have to bear it all. Remember, act blur live longer!
I realise there r a lot of people asking questions rather than providing answers to problems in the company nowadays. Everyone seem clueless or do not hv the expertise to solutions. It eventually comes to a point where problems are left unanswered and swept under the carpet, hoping that it will not recure again during their "tenure" in this role.
This thread is still going?! At this point I'm just here to be part of history. Good luck my Singaporean comrades!
Once you reached your fifties, PIP will be served for your retirement because your are expensive and not as productive as before. Hire you can hire a few youngsters. Definitely knowledge gaps are there but can’t be filled overnight.
omg. So serious, crane toppled? Really very very lucky that there's no fatality. Wells, wonder who is going to take responsibility and accountability of it? Definitely not the bosses luh. Hahahaha
One lao jiao won't be the silver bullet. After all, how long more can one work?
The lack of experienced people (mid layer, upper) is a serious problem and also poor management who seem not to know to even run project or do design themselves. No one can bring the youngsters up, that is even if they survive the PIP or get delusional after a while. The young folks will just keep getting their supervisor's "advice" to check with this and that persons, even for simple stuff.
Good luck with the "direct to low cost country" initiative. Even outside of project organisation, ppl are tired of dealing with it. There's no so-called value generation from it. We lose more actually through opportunity loss. This place is run as if this organisation or industry is ALL about low cost/low knowledge/skill. But knowing the incompetent sg management, they will just grow their parachute and follow whatever came from top.
The very good folks in project that I worked with were gone.
Some are replaced with a bunch of not-so- great engineers or rejects that came back to fill the void or fresh grads. Project design managed to get one very good lao jiao to come back.
No surprise to see mistake, and I'm expecting more to come.
It’s not TA that the crane topple you noob
60 tonnes crane toppled, definitely not a safe turnaround.

Mistakes start to creep in
Evergreen marine gives 63 months bonus in 2022. EM can only afford 3 months even the company has the highest revenue in history.
Pipeline leak at PAC. Massive cleanup and repair operations undertaken. No reporting cos Management has been taking money away from maintenance and those who actually GAVE a shilte. Corrosion doen’t happen overnight.
Ro”lan” you want?
Paradise group give the Rolex watches to employees who had worked for the company for 10 years or more, regardless of position. EM give warning letter and PIP to employees who work for many years. Too expensive to keep them. Fresh hirers are always cheaper.
Big oil leak to Singapore waters. PAC Refinery got big leak which go to sea, why is nobody reporting it?
Why are we covering up our mistakes?
CNA please contact Exxon for comment!
Any safety incident out you go and no question ask… regardless of how many years you worked.
Waiting for Exxon to match your pay with other companies you can dream on… since when they will match our pay? Ever since 2020 after covid, the only thing that I remember they kept saying is SCP is not making money… make me the most Tu Lan is they kept saying it like we operate for workers and charity!!! Pui it is not true.. it is because they kept buying and expanding and kept incurring debts, then during 2020 they tell us they lose money overall… only lan jiao company will do this
Really sh---y place compared to 20 years ago. Now people do things because they are told to do so without knowing the status of the Plant. And they won’t take ‘no’ for answer just so that they can answer to their bosses that it’s been done.
The statement below is legitimate. I am concerned that our starting pay at 4.2K puts us at a disadvantage compared to other industries that pay more, such as other oil and gas companies, banking, consulting or tech. It seems difficult to reconcile this with HR claims that we offer competitive salaries. These circumstances make me question the fairness of salaries for perm employees in Singapore. The research conducted by HR appears to be inadequate at best.
Today Straits Times released fresh grads median starting pay. Across companies as large as Exxon to smaller SMEs, the median starting pay is $4200. So how is HR claiming that we pay competitively? We demand minimum 1st class or 2nd upper graduates but yet pay median salary? That’s like saying we expect to buy a Rolls-Royce Phantom for the price of a Toyota Yaris. Anyone from HR able to shed some light?
I just left EM this year as a technician, although I do not have a job yet and am not that rich stop working my entire life, but now to be honest I am truly happy about my life now… No need to see my Farking phone, no need to worry about kana force to do OT for the farking management that sc--w up badly, no more finger pointing games from management, which in the case management sc--w up become technicians mistake… no need to think of how to cover up my own backside because of incompetence management!!!
hehe, looks like you have never seen what good companies look. There are companies out there treating people with respect.
jump out of your well and you will find a new world, frog.
good luck if you decide to stay back and wish you all the success, but I bet with your narrow mind and low level thinking, you are likely in the Q for being PIP.
If you don't want white masters, you can always go to Reliance for brown master, Chinese petroleum for east asian master, Aramco for Arab master or Nigerian oil corp for black master. Pick your poison!
Good Luck!!! If you become Principal Engineer, you can earn $240k per year.
hrrrrrrr
Singapore also got local Lead Country Manager, so what? Did it change the fact they are just yesman to white masters?
By the way, the fact local is becoming refinery manager only indicates you guys will be asked to work harder, because this person sure cannot fight his white master, correct?
YES SIR YES SIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I am planning to quit, not living in a fake dream.
Singapore refinery just got a local plant manger. first time ever! This is gr8 news for all. if you work hard, give your best and take care of your people, u can do well and get rewarded in ur career. Everyone at site is very happy by the news!
Hello,
Wake up.
We do NOT have 【E】here in the states. We only have 【PMT】.
The so called E is just a ridiculous add-on especially in Singapore which was created to make Asians happy but not really gave them anything.
See, it worked, right?
Hello,
Exxon we use PMTE leh.
E is there for a reason, talk all you want, i will become a site principal engr one day!!
Exxon doesn't need ES, they will outsource the function. Pity those who still believe that they can make a difference. No difference you can make, seriously.
Control the damage now guys.
Heard another ES engineer leaving.
seriously, ES division attrition are on roids.
Quiet quitting and PIPs, with the increased threat of PIPs that don't even offer severance as a safety net, are people still quiet quitting or is everybody back to doing everything that's asked of them for as long as it takes to finish it? I have been quiet quitting for months but I have to admit, the latest developments do make me nervous.
I agree with some of the comments regarding the existing people still working in EM now.
If really not happy, just leave! By the way, i have already left 🤣🤣🤣 I was being PiP twice!!!! Why, because i don’t know how to curry favour my SLS. My other colleagues in the same team, i dare to said i am better than them, but they know how to sweet talk. So i’m always on the losing end
Also i do think, those keep complaining, but not leaving, actually your hands are tied. Cause u need the salary provided by EM, it should be quite good, and maybe hard to match by other companies.
My mental health is more important than the pay. Thou not drawing as much as my EM pay, but confirm i am happily and not so stress.
My current IT job is stressful, but i’m only stressing about the job, not stressing about how to sweet talk or act like i’m trying to value add in some stupid ways 🤣🤣🤣
Hope the TA wont have much budget overrun, cause of some stupid ways to save cost in the planning stage, just to sound nice to the boss, but then in reality, the method or ways are really stupid and disgusting LOL
Control freak
Why again and again and keep restructuring?Mgt you think we really stupid or?
Every year PIP to cut headcount?
Save money for shareholders?
Pay me 1 year 1 month I will leave and don’t do all these, very unethical.
Every month we talk about “control” and I feel like vomiting!
Time to leave... TA sucks...
haha the news is on all social media platforms, Exxon has made record high profit. many of my friend were asking me how much bonus I got, I told them not much, 3 months as usual, they were surprised because they all know this will make employees feel detatched.
But let's bear in mind, good or bad, company never layoff anyone, always gives you 3 month bonus, that is already very generous. They do not do layoff because they will have to pay severance package, instead you will get PIP. Well done, white masters, we all work as slaves for you, because slaves don't deserve respect.
Let’s shout together - record profits! It really pays to be an as----e towards employees! The ends justify the means
@epcpo+16zEvLP3
The 50 billions is just nice to give all EM employees 120 months bonus.
But Darren concerns later you all don't know how to spend so much money because you guys are used to with efficiency and cost saving.
So he takes back as stock repurchase program to return to shareholders.
Nevertheless, he still recognizes your hardwork and commitment with newsletter, so genuine by putting his photo, which made us vomit 🤮 blood and can't eat lunch today.
Quit if not happy why waste time why typing here waste time ..got guts just quit... Mr Woods won't read what you type here!
