I thought attrition will slow down in 4Q coz at this point ppl will wait for Jan increment then throw letter. But looks like resignations still going strong!

Lest we forget …
The unbelievable way the MC and BoD had rewarded themselves, yet hung everyone else out to dry. Borrowing to pay the dividends - since it lines their pockets with millions along with the bonuses while layoffs and PIPs were happening everywhere, down the company lines.

Similarly for graduate MPTs, how many can really earn up to >$300-350K pa, by the time they reach their mid-50’s ….. unless one is a director of an SME company, or equivalent.

An EM senior technician can earn up to $6-8K/mth base, without O/T. Add another $2K/mth average with O/T.
Tell me, which blue collar job in SG can pau do well? Up to $10K/mth and more!!

That’s right operations technician. Many other technicians dying to join Exxon! It’s a strong brand name. Be glad you have a job here that allows you to pay your bills.

Just appreciate what you have now. Accept the fact we are just workers. Outside might be better, similar or worst. But staying here. You do not need to start all over again. Please leave if it is affecting your mental health seriously. Or else, I suggest you all to stay, just focus on working and ignore all negativity (else, it will affect your badly).

D-mb W declared increase in dividend and buy back shares , who do you think these measures benefit ? Who else but D-mb W and all his execs . They hold all the vested XOm shares . Can u see how self serving our Mgmt is ? When time was bad , rank and files were thrown overboard to save the sinking ship despite they did nothing wrong . The ship captain and his cronies were the ones sailed to ship into the iceberg ! When time is getting good , who do they reward ? Themselves once again while ranks and files are threatened with pip… is this the company you wish to put your future in? Will tender my resignation in Dec once I secured my well deserving bonus this year ( after slogging like a dog). Will cross over to a new runway in Jan 2022. Am
Not alone . Cheers

Hey @70lwd+16zEvLP3, you do realize this is a layoff board, not make-a-wish foundation right? Christmas is coming but GC is no Santa Claus.

You need to find a sugar mummy who can do that for you instead. 2 months incremental? I don’t know what dr-gs are you on, but you need to stop taking them because they are making you delusional.

SG LCM- please consider and declare a special bonus for SG employees who stays with EM to take extra work load due to high attrition rate and keep the businesses moving. This group of people deserve special recognition during this unprecedented times. Minimum 2 months on top of the 3 months AWS.

Stock buyback is like pi----g in the river. It feels good as you hear the splashing sound as your pi-s hits the water but it’s all gone after that, and all you have left is a di-k in your hand.

Highly recommend they use their stock buyback to purchase tesla stock instead, as a hedging strategy for our dinosaur company . CEO DW pls take note

Lost a lot of good people???
Who the fxxk cares?! Does DW care? No way! He said that just because the situation is a bit annoying to him to sustain his CEO position and big money there, he in fact doesnt give a sh-t.
All of you including the so called HiPo are all dispensible no matter what, especially in Asia context.
Do note the Bloomberg news is designed for US people. Just because you happen to understand English doesnt mean the pay hike in the article is for you asians. Some SGrean just donnt get it and get lost in the circle of self entitlement and then self blaming.
Sad.

Bo song, because not only dividends are raised. There’s also stock buybacks which results in more cash being consumed. Instead of putting it in investments or giving increments. In the meanwhile; we lost a lot of good people.

Maybe do this grab job leh- Consumer Business Manager, GrabPay? Do this grab not good meh?

Your thinking so narrow. Must be an engineer. Please go and turn the valve and do the LPSA. Don’t come and comment on forum. Already not enough people running the plant and doing real work.

we can be neither! we do our best in our work, continue learning, be a good person, take care of our family and friends, shut out the toxicity, take a salary……. And…..

You get PIPed and get told it’s a relative ranking, it’s a competitive pool, your best is not good enough, and you don’t pass PIP and you are out of a job. Or you kenna PIP 2 times more you are out of a job. Then you do grab.

Sad but true.

GIC, Temasek and Keppel also have truckloads of expats, then why fault EM and be salty about bringing their expats in.. this is American company

and don't need to false dichotomy... it's not either focus on being salty or focus on being brown noser. we can be neither! we do our best in our work, continue learning, be a good person, take care of our family and friends, shut out the toxicity, take a salary, look out for opportunities. EM don't owe us; we don't owe it

Hey @6Ynyd+16zEvLP3

Let’s not mislead @6Ybch+16zEvLP3 into thinking that Temasek GIC and Keppel is only hiring locals. There are truckloads of foreign talents in Temasek, just take a look at the employees in those organisation via linked in and you will know the reality.

Yes, @6Ybch+16zEvLP3, you have all the right to feel salty being deprived of the best opportunities in your own land even in own government organisation but I want you to think very carefully. Who should you be blaming for todays sinkies plight? Yes if you are smart enough it’s yourself and fellow sinkie cause why? Cause 70% voted for this. No complains yea?

Peace out.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha.

That’s why say Singapore workers are toads in a well. Can see it from their responses.

GIC and Temasek got so many expats.

Otherwise, agree with everything else you guys are saying. Don’t be toxic. Focus on being a cheerleader to shout we are ExxonMobil, being a brown noser and support your boss in all the decisions and praise him, and then wait to be rated highly in the PA - then get the high increment that Bloomberg talks about! Repeat a few more times and you will be considered for the LCM or CCS job. Simple!

We are ExxonMobil!

A person like you are a shameful to we, Singaporeans. You have attitude problem and toxic to the organization to divide within the company rather than contribute for company. I hope you’re not my colleague, liaising with me daily.

The company is not built by your grandfather and we can’t keep asking all entitlements and privileges. Have you never learnt in school days? How Singapore makes itself strategic location and trading hub, it didn’t become without any effort. Likewise, please also think what/how you’re contributing to the company during this unprecedented time. Why must company need us compared to foreigners here or other countries such as KLTC?

We play the game in home stadium and we have a lot of advantages. But you keep asking referees (your father, mother and government) to give your entitlement and extra privileges. Please have some pride and professionalism.
If company makes wrong decisions, more people will leave and this is consequences of every wrong action. But along the way, management will correct in order to attract talents and retain employees. So please don’t be toxic to us.

cos erm... this is an American company?

you can choose to be salty but it will only impact your own mental health and you spread toxicity vibes to people around you, including your family and friends. I see some colleagues who are like that and people avoid them, but they don't know themselves

you can kpkb all you want but the company doesn't care that people are salty or unhappy, the management can do whatever they want within the laws of this land. life is inherently unfair. we have choice to be constructive. probably you cannot do the jobs of these expats. if you can, and you really feel so damning, you want to work in a place without expats, you can go GIC or Temasek or Keppel...

Very very salty, until my tongue rot.

And whats wrong with questioning? Thought we are trying to reduce costs? Why still have expats? Most of the time, they are just here to check box, have a good time and fu-k off after 3-5 years regardless of results.

That’s why we are in the sh-t we are in. And yet we lay off Singaporean workers while they are still protected. Why not salty?
