You think engineers got nothing better to do than to OCVM RCVM technicians meh? Most of the time, my colleagues and I just provide the answers to technicians to avoid QI on key questions. If kena QI, you think who will get churned to follow up ? Eventually it goes back to the engineers

Yah lor we technicians where got time to tell explain repeated grandmother stories again and again many times to these white collar office workers
Their job is only to busybody conduct useless rubbish nonsense OCVM LPSA LPO non stop on technicians and wasting technicians working time away
Since they know all answers an expert let them work at field lah dirty their hands and as--s lah
Incidents will go zero and best of all save cost on ot and no need kanchiong re-hiring they alone can save manpower problems at site
Really wonder if other companies employ this kinda people working going around asking stupid question and interfering slowing down heavy and high workload

And you know whats the best part? some RLs dont even understand the fundamentals ! ( be it process unit / eqt )

You can easily see through their LTA knowledge/competency via the questions they ask...

We worker bees are already so saturated with real work, we still have to take time off to teach you the basics, where got time...

Haha, every now and then,

RL position will get bash. Until today, i too dont understand how are they value-adding to the orgn.
Besides attending tons of meeting, throwin in some basic qns, what else? RLs, if youre reading this, please speak up for yourself.

Our ES engrs are competent enough to priortize, coordinate and execute their work. Our fellow SLS also have a good grasp of GRS system, so how are their existence getting justified... theyre an additional layer of authorization that is truely redundant..

Which really goes against EM being competitive and aspiring to be transformative.

I hope and urge that the management do something bout this redundancy.

SG’s NSP guidelines published by garmen lah deh!!
Nothing to do with company, EM, how good it is, or what.
Recent garmen bean spillers (non-NSP related) were all hauled to court. You never read papers meh?
So if you claim you know EM’s 2022 increment (when SG’s 2022 NSP guidelines not released yet), you are in trouble with the garmen oredi.

What court case are you talking about?

One of the best employers in Singapore, not to mention biggest foreign investor of the country. No case at all.

Yes. Increments coming my boys!

Just that don’t expect too much in terms of amounts.

We are ExxonMobil. We work for the love of the company and not for $$$

Why did EM create so many RL positions?
Because for every 1 DH in Manufacturing, there are “X” SLS and “Y” senior engineers / coordinators / planners / leads, etc.

Where 1 < X << Y

So if the company is unable to create some form of perceived “upward mobility” for these “Y” masses (even after they have been working for more than 10 years and hovering at CL24/25 levels), then there will be gross morale issues that could result to even more attrition and anarchy!

So then: give these marginalised folks some peanut dust, to assume RL positions - and hopefully, appease their not-so-high career expectations, and to continue to serve until another opening becomes available.

If one were to attend the annual PA exercises, you will realise the sheer numbers of “Y” who are stuck at CL24/25 - some for more than 8-10 years!!

The same also applies to the substantial number of senior non-supervisor CL27s, who just cannot break the glass barrier, to be promoted to CL28/29 - given that the latter is for a few designated positions only.

To break these 2 glass barriers, new employees will need to score high in PA rankings from the get go.
You wait 5 years later to do same and your lagged career projection chart will unlikely bring you up to CL29 (not to mention Executive level) before the time you retire!

RL means Redundant Leader???
Management needs to look again why a lot of engineers and other folks think RL position is not required.

You don’t know meh?
In light of increasing attrition, SGCX Manufacturing had been given the EM Corp go ahead and waiver to resume re-hiring in all earnesty.
The EM Singapore site is just too strategic to lose and allowed to collapse.

@6fbjs+16zEvLP3
Do you actually know what you are talking?
Forget the Singapore country study lah.
What’s even larger than that, will be TMTS - which is in the process of being fully rolled out, in phases.
The final headcount reduction targets (I’ve seen it) will be final-effected only in 2-3 years down the road.
So expect more HC rationalization to come!

PIP also don’t need to leave what.. now no one can make you leave unless it’s country study or move you to HCL but no more country study already cos company too poor to pay more retrenchment package. Just enjoy the salary until retirement

These RL will rather wait for PIP and will not leave. No one outside world will pay them to talk BS. Only staying here and laughing all the way to the banks.

Useless RL please leave for good to EM… Recommending BS and don’t bring value. The plant will still runs well w/o U. Holding CL26, taking big paycheck of $13-18k is a waste of EM resources.

Yes, the youngsters will need to appreciate what they have now.

  • To remain at least 5 years on the job, before being considered for next move. This one announced oredi
  • Doing same job for 5 years = slower paced-increments!
  • Still face NSI/PIP possibility each year (dread this)
  • Liddat, a potential SH role consideration comes only after 15 years (will need at least 3 job rotations, before deemed ready)
  • By then mid-40s oredi, so a DH role will be considered when nearer 50-yrs old
  • After that, can cruise to retirement over the last 10-15 years of your working life

Such is our career destiny ahead, in EM :(
But ah ….. only YOU can make that change!
So dream BIG, my friends!

When so many folks leave yet work remains the same, plant capacity remain the same, mean whoever stay on get more work. More stress. We need to demand higher pay.

@6eent+16zEvLP3

no need to benchmark. RL, SH, leads and CL26 above, it is overpaid while working level is short changed especially young folks.
To make it clear, I’m not complaining those salary package of old timers.

If continue with pay freeze regardless of their salary range, more employees will resign. As far as I know, most of us (low CL level) are either looking for outside opportunities or already took other offer.
You may say stop whining, but do you think we are naive enough to work our a-s off so that we keep our 5-6k per month and our bosses keep 20-30k per month?

More cases like the whole shift team or many engineers from same section will resign together soon to join our neighbour competitor company.

Anyone knows what is the outcome from salary benchmarking, especially AWS?

Post ID: @6eent+16zEvLP3

I think there are generally 2 camps here.

  1. Those who earn well above $15K pm, who are comfortable with their finances and are working mainly for the pay (carik makan) and if deserving, upward mobility too.

These are the SHs-and-above, and also the contented, high-salaried 50-something professionals.
The second lot are the more worrisome, discontented complainers (whom, many have quit):

  1. The newbies with less than 10 years of service and earning less than $10K pm. These are the people starting off with life, with budding families and mounting loans (including high-interest “personal loans” and bank overdrafts).

Their recurring struggles - especially at end-of-month, to balance their finances. Those with schooling children and mounting tuition fees and CCA needs, transportation ….. from primary, through pre-U.
So each salary freeze and “No AWS” decision point will impact this lot more than the other.
In staff communication sessions, they will usually focus on Slido questions relating to salary remuneration, career development, PA, job stability / mobility and the likes.
