Oh well environmental team is a pioneer in this resignation wave, every year half the team resigns but SSHE dept boh chap. Good people stuck forever while SLS changes at the drop of a hat. So much to keep the environment outside clean, jiayou to the SLS to clean the toxicity inside!

That’s how good our “Mgmt’s foresight”: retrenched experienced workers or chased off experienced workers then pay higher for inexperienced and not tested new comers . How brilliant can this be ? A classic act of destroying company’s intellectual capital and poor deployment of capital to employ untrained resource at higher cost . Nuts !

KNN, 2nd year Engineer also cannot match new hire pay, 1 year freeze and peanut increment! Don’t talk about inflation as well.

the new hire pay 4800 before LTSA will enable another wave of resignation for the 2-3 years, especially in Technical.
Good luck guys.

A conversation with Jennifer Driscoll and Understanding 1Q earnings.

????????????

You think we donnt understand the numbers in the earning report is it?

What we donnt understand, is the link between the increasing company profit and the reducing emplyee benefits, as well as increasing mountinv workload and almost-no-increment salary which cannot beat inflation.

If you cannot answer this question clearly, who the fxxk cares about conversing with you. Fxxk off.

We have leadership that was moulded with the same grain , shielded with iron cladded protection with no accountability coupled with sheltered development and cultivation ever since fresh out from uni ( haven’t seen a 2nd company other than XOm) , just proven that it doesn’t have the mettle to manage and handle this crisis . The wrong decision to trade off the sacred cow of long term career for short term interest to please shareholders and benefit itself finally sent this Titan down a slippery slope of perpetual decline - Tragic epic

EM Singapore is in shambles, man...

every time i chat with my ex-colleauges in EM, all i hear about are "jokes".

continuous brain drain...every other week you'll hear people leaving for greener pastures.
new experienced hires unable to cope with EM's framework and system.
hiring people without chemical engineering background as chemical engineers.
putting unqualified people as 2nd lines.
environmental team is practically run by SLS now...lol

want to know if your 2nd line is good? See if he has started enforcing working from office jus for the sake of doing it. It was a good 2 years wfh and we are grown ups with discipline to come back when needed to.

Coz recently many good 2nd lines and Engineers left us and EM is struggling to keep those ppl to stay. Well, the rest of 90% just “LL” to get increment cut for them to get free stocks.

Who knows what was the RSU program previously? Only for CL26 and above? Minimum "Outstanding" classification?

Also the top 10% is not the ones whose work is the top 10% but the ones who has their sponsors.

Salary budget is fixed, now they are cutting some to give more to Top 10%, which means the rest of us will be getting even lesser increment. :(

No stock option given, complain. Stock options given to incentivise good performance also complain.. there is no free lunch in this world. You got to work for it. If you don’t like, go out be your own boss and do whatever you like to your own company.

Reward the top 10% with shares option…
The organization has forgotten that it is the 90% that helps the organization survived the tough times and negotiated thru the crisis!!!

Tiagong 3 months AWS change to 1 month too, but with variable component. HR really wants to be less competitive. And the RSUs are a pittance to begin with, so it’s not gg to stop people leaving. What’s the message here - there’s still too many expensive Singapore headcounts, and we are more expensive than Indian expats and China expats. So you will see more of them here in the coming months. All the best, my friends, it’s been a good ride but all good times have an end.

Wah! Now Woody is offering EM stock options for Outstanding performers … this will allow HR to further reduce remuneration rates and promotions for the masses below (now all HR-controlled).
Tia kong the LTSA component in our salary will soon be removed.

Don’t have to keep commenting when u are still in the company. Likewise if you are not in the company why bother. Complaining is not going to do any good to either side. This is not a political influencing game for pulling sides. Maybe joining TikTok / twitter pull more votes. Wahahaha

Also, Admire the perseverance to keep this chat alive. Shldnt it be more useful somewhere else? Wahahaha

If after looking at this comment and there is an urge to keep commenting. Salute u!
May this chat last forever for you lol.

Well, the unsinkable Titanic still ended up under the seabed. In order to stay afloat longer, they have to kick out redundant headcount. You’ve to find your lifebuoy or next harbour, nobody is going to save your a-s-S!

The only function deserving a Global Awards is HR.
P&GA fxxked up because their contribution is negative - end up EM is out of the top 200 employers in Singapore. EM likes to rank peopme, now itself is ranked, to a sh-t level.

Outside people consider EM employee who are looking for a job as refugees, because they know it is totally fxxked up here - everyone know it is sinking.

Another team that deserves Award is the cleaners. Despite the storms and dramas and stupidities in this master company, the cleaners had been handling the situations pretty well, much better than the EM management.

We have gone past the point of inflexion. When EM decided on doing the unprecedented Retrenchment , putting in place 8% compulsory attrition ( dated system used by GE which It has long gotten rid off) this company has gone past the slippery slope towards the road of no return, a downward spiral….. it will be a case study in MBA why this Titan of yesteryears fails

Retirement in EM? haha! We dont even know whether we can last till the next year of structural cost reduction(8%). WE ARE CURRENTLY ON YEARLY CONTRACT RENEWAL. count your blessing now and keep quiet, dont be a hero, in the hope that the DH / SLS will save your puny a-s.

Hardwork is no longer sought after, the bosses are looking for those that can talk. "SHOW" massive savings. but in fact are empty vessels.

TBH what has EM become? It used to be a GREAT place to be at. The management now look at those insignificant savings. Talk about looking at the big picture. It is destroying the culture.

HR is doing well in this case since we are out of the top 200 employers in Singapore. Remembr what’s the direction from the top? We need to reduce headcount and cut costs. So all benefits are cut and there’s no longer any perks left except for EMagine. So now we are no longer attractive to young employees, it’s akin to living he-l for existing employees and people are leaving. HR is doing a great job in executing top management’s orders. Furthermore, there’s a 5% PIP to looking forward to! Hurray! Let’s shout we are ExxonMobil together!

Having some FLSes acting out as if they earn their position is going make me pu-e. All my credentials are worthless. Their selection principals does not based on what you can do, how you can contribute to bring value. It is all about promoting own people. No wonder company is dying. Credible technicians don’t feel motivated working in this sort of culture although remuneration is still relatively good. But in a long run, mental health overweight all these & company will lost used-to-be good/experience/highly competent employees.

You dodged a bullet.

I don’t even know what to tell others on why to join Exxon. Singapore office is hollowing out and senior management doesn’t give a damn about the morale here because all it does is act as a feeder for talent management for the real growing markets in Asia. I will love to see the decks to EDB though, because whoever put them together is a marketing genius.

I think twice before joining exxon, i got 5 years exp but they offer me $2000 for a technician office hour post? And i didnt even have a LETTER OF APPOINTMENT to sign confirming that i will be joining the company, but instead they kept pestering me to tender. So fishy. And heard this year bonus was 0.5 months only and no increment. Better be safe and dont jump into sudden joining exxon. After few emails they ask me to respond, i told then that i will be rejecting their offer.
