@8gzx it’s a fair question. I was told that PE need to stay in the position longer than before, so when someone claims that he is able to move so fast, either this person doesn’t exist or he must be doing something right that PE can all learn from.

@8gzg , either you are a troll, trying to sabotage someone from RC, or you are a damn dumpster..
Got moved to a RC role a week ago after less than 3 years of PE stint. Am I considered a high flier ?
@8gsf I passed mine to the town council worker.
you already said it is something from chemicals. Nothing good from chemicals
The increment for 2026 is damn bs. Those that got the package is actually very lucky.
Do you remember the "Growing with Purpose" ExxonMobil Chemical initiative from circa 2019.
Today, we should rebrand the "Growing with Purpose" Polo Shirts from circa 2019 to "Shrinking with Purpose" and provide the remaining employees with new Polo shirts.
@8gpn yup. But i also empathise for those who stay on. EM is no longer great. So stop wearing those shirts with the logo and walk like you are on a runway. Deluding yourself.
@8gmx feeling good to see some leaving
How is it everyone, work as usual right
Every time I check posts on Workvivo, I always see this same person commenting Iol
In progress. Sinkies don't know that the direction is to outsource. Good example is China one project, build it up to shutdown part of scp. Same theory, change soup but still use the same ingredients
When will everyone get offshore and no need any office here.
Just a job only lah… all this WAEM or one-team nonsense really damn lame
LT just wants to protect their own jobs and interests. If you ever thought they saw you as family, that was naive. They really don’t give a s**t about you.
Fact is, by selling the kiosk, the target is met whether you want to accept it or not. You can highlight if the kpi has been met or not but no one including your boss will answer you truthfully. Like the others had said, why bother, just cruise your way through. The LT just wants as little questions asked as possible, their job is to handle the image of the company in sg, not your concern
Employees shouldn’t even bother about this. After so many years in EM, you should already realise all these things are just gimmicks, shows, and distractions. Do you seriously think any of this would be different even if they hit the $1 billion cost-cutting target? Come on.
@8fx4 why shouldn’t employee care? It’s not so much about the achieving the target but rather the failure of the LT to make it happen. Are you from the LT trying to divert attention?
How stupid.
You get laid off, but you still care how EM achieve its target for cost saving? Why does it even matter to you!!! WTH is inside your skull? Is it water or sh*t?
LOL
Going in 2Q26. What's going to happen to my unvested RSU?
With everyone focused on this layoff exercise, did any one bother to question how successful is the sprint to 1 billion ? Obviously it must be a failure which leads to this ‘rightsizing’ exercise. Whatever happen to run and cover? More like get dragged by own people
HBF peepz? you guys ok?
@8fw5 people don’t suffer , I cannot sleep well at night
@8fvt I sleep well.
@8fqx at least show that they feel bad about it? We are all human isn't it? A stranger is no family to you also, but do you wish to see this stranger laugh at your friend/family's funeral?
Mai siao siao, everytime we laugh at polymers, they still standing man
which team is hit the worst
20% staff reduction is expected in Singapore along with multiple petrochemical unit shutdowns (most likely permanent shutdowns)
@8fr8 the steam cr--ker closure was communicated to us on 1 Oct
Sorry Singapore friends. Next domino to drop: https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/exxon-permanently-shut-one-steam-cr--ker-singapore-march-sources-say-2025-12-04/
My whole team will be gone by 4Q26. To be fair, my supervisor’s role is also made redundant so she will be leaving as well. Our one to one was less than 2 minutes
@8fqn what you expect. For them to s-b and cry about it? Work and not your family wor…
Why many FEI got impact?
Sounds like a skill issue on your end
1 year 1 month?
@8fqj yes NSI more for next round of cuts
Got my comm yesterday, arrived in front of the room 5 mins earlier and heard there were laughters and chit chat voices in the room, thought it was someone else still having the comm. When it was my time, the laughter and chit chat didn't stop, thought I needed to knock to remind people inside that it's my time slot. So I knocked and a reply came from inside "come in", 2 DHs and 1 SLS was waiting in the room, that's when I knew it's me. What disappoints me is that they can still chit chat and laughed like nothing happened before my session, it's like to them it's just a business as usual, can't wait to finish this and go back home ya.
Those staying till 2027 will be PIPed. No mgrs will NSI their folks to save someone that is leaving. HR should just freeze their pay or exclude them from PDS. Those retrenched should write to MOM about this... for those staying, worse case if they don't do work, mgt should just expedite and kick them out of EM. We don't need half-hearted workers around but doing this makes everyone skeptical. What team we talking about....
Where the bloodbath that we should be expecting
@8fpk not many people understand what’s year end experience or years at level , even for those old birds after multiple years of PDA.
I don’t blame them since none of these are useful outside of EM
