Only reward the top 10% with stock is a failure and not to forget 90% are the one running the business.
Without the 90% worker bees, can the top 10% walking around doing just show and tell?

I guess we have enough of complains or thoughts EM is currently putting everyone through. But I believe we gotta move ahead somehow.

Anyone have any concrete suggestion or plan how should we move forward (if you are still in the company) to turn things around. If not, feel free to voice out your opinion too.

I believe there are many “spies”(SLS/DH/Perhaps LCM/pets) in this forum. Might probably provide management some idea how we think from the ground. (Only if anyone do cares about it and can take it as our true feedback)

Let me start with one.
I think EM management could have really understand how ground level works or individual base role each of us hold or should do. I find it amusing to only focus on the other achievement one does to rank individual. No one actually care much about base role.

One with Base role (lousy), few non based role achievement will rank higher than one with base role (excellent), no non based role achievement.

Don’t think this is the culture EM would want to have have. No hard feelings.

Our LCM is clearly NSI material, since the morale is pi-s poor and even though the company is raking in record profits, all we got was thank you and high attrition.

It’s okay if there’s no high increment. You can always EMagine to have high ones.

It’s more expensive to recruit, hire, and train new people than to invest in your existing employees. Why not offer retention raise instead?

The writing is on the wall. The demise of a titanic is near. Meantime , just buying time before the final closing of the curtain .. May be another 5 to 10yrs ? The mgmt such as LCM and cronies will walk into its tequila sunset… some will sink with the ship … some strangle in the sea

Even we work for fun, this is also not a fun place to work. High workload, unappreciative bosses and system to tell you that you need significant improvement after you busted your a-s to meet deadlines. Am I missing where the fun is?

We are here to work for $ and not here to do volunteer. EM just finding reasons not to pay more. one very ridiculous boss ever said, the door is always opened in front of the team!

Forget it.
Exxon is not going to increase the pay to retain talents, because "money is not the only motivation factor".

Fxxk. They think people come to "work for fun", ridiculous thoughts.

So no pay adjustment for experienced and senior ones? I heard some semicon company increased 15 to 20% of salary. The only way is to jump for increment soEM can hire no experienced fresh grads with higher pay.

Market pays the best grads more… $4.8k is so little that we can’t hire good people, no one wants to join EM now. What a laugh!

Any company you go, no such stupid LSP, MOC, etc... unless paper work.
All just Wayang, but getting high pay but still complaining.

It’s always like this. LCM will feel she’s underpaid for a job that’s just reporting upwards, whereas for all of us working hard on the ground making things happen- we are deemed to be overpaid, and more expensive than other countries’ workers. This just sucks.

@aekqo+16zEvLP3 LCM has been saying to everyone in the past 2 years that she believes SG folks are overpaid… haven’t you heard at least once somewhere? If new hire 4.8k… i can’t imagine this LCM she must be hopping mad

We only have “Care Pack” but no Mid Year Adjustment. Do you think they are really “Care”?

You can definitely EMagine a better future, but it’s all just an EMagination. The truth is a lot darker and a lot more harsher.

There will be more departures until the LCM do something about the pay and workload. The feedback is given but nothing seems to be done, except for asking for more feedback. Even China and India employees are getting mid cycle adjustments whereas Singapore just gets a lot more pat on the back (and nothing real). How uninspiring.

left the company and very happy at where I am. Less toxicity. Nobody is penalized as "need improvement" or "need significant improvement" unless you've made a significant mistake. Everyone works hard on their job rather than wasting time on meaningless wayang CCAs. Also, extremely happy that I don't have to attend anymore awkward LPS sessions. :D

If you only get your ranking result in Dec, that means you are totally detached from your team for key information communication, which is critical to survive and improve in EM.

Ranking result comes out in 2 months?? We only hear about it in dec before increment..

I don't think need to wait for ranking, even if you were to get OWD, what's the increment you expect? 20%? I'll guess 8% instead, just nice bump you up to fresh grad pay 🤣.

And those below OWD, pay remain below fresh grad

I foresee a wave of technical engineers resigning in the coming 2 months, as the ranking results coming out.

Company doesnt need you to survive, so you should work and move on your own terms and conditions.

These exchanges are not going to help either to those who are still there and crying foul and those who left and still not shiok about it.

I rhink those who think there are damned good....maybe or maybe not. Dont forget you are just good at playing within your own your playground. Being humble although it has not been part of EM culture. Likely force ranking where everyone has to play dirty. This is why some companies are not receptive to hire ex-EM.

Don’t worry, once you leave, lots of people outside of Singapore will be eyeing the jobs and filling your jobs. So feel free to leave.

@a5kml+16zEvLP3 That is how much your experience is being valued. We can see it being echoed over our job here. Get as much out of EM as possible and get out while we can.

I would be cautious in having that impression that you have market value with EM's name, we are bottom of the totem pole in current times

Of coz 4.8k la. The job market so hot now. And it's called bait and switch. Bait you first then treat you like sh-t. After 2-3 years, you still got market value and EM brand in your resume, you should be looking outside liao ma. Not come here kpkb say lifes not fair 😅 Old timers GG liao la, young ones what you all doing?
