I hope Thai HR gets lots of RSUs with this AWS cut. Single handedly saved the company millions with wage reductions, increased attrition rates in Singapore. Someone other than GC, DW must benefit from this right?
Well done! #weareexxonmobil! #winning
No worries about AWS cut. It’s already concluded and we can’t change anything by worrying.
Right now, we can only shout We Are ExxonMobil loudly to show our support for the company. As for our bills, can only hope for the best.
Everyone below outstanding - the message is clear and you know what to do
@50ehh+16zEvLP3 Disgusting
Just heard that AWS confirm to be only 1 month. But at the same time increment will be given based on performance over last 2 cycles. Plan is to give a big increment to excellent and outstanding performers which will translate to overall small increment on an annual basis (~15% to cover for the ~13% reduction due to 2 months AWS removed).
For those ranked below very good, expect to get miserable increments below 2% and your cut in AWS is used to fund the increment of the better performers.
We are winning
@50bzs+16zEvLP3
Attrition comes from repeated PIPs (3 months of flogging every year, then slog for the remaining 9 months … and if still end up in NSI? Then repeat the whole cycle over again, the following year).
See how many can tahan this kind of abuse.
After 2-3 years of this mental, emotional and physical torture, most will leave the company. Younger, new hires, as well as the old hats alike - they won’t find it comfortable anymore ….. no more cruising along.
The voluntary resignations only add to the overall attrition tally count.
Sooner (more so, than later), the company WILL need to rehire - to remain operable. No problem.
One advert alone for a couple of positions will attract thousands of applicants from all over Asia - not just Singapore.
@50bzs+16zEvLP3 Part of the people strategy to purge the old. NSI 8% of the existing employees >> PIP the nasty out of them > empty positions filled by new hires
Cost effective way!
How can there be new hires when there’s not enough attrition.
Looking at the bunch of new hires we have - those .
I think that they’d be better off quitting EM and joining the likes of Shopee lah.
Akin to the band group The All American Rejects … only substitute the “American”, for Singaporean hehe!
We are winning!
Look at some SLSs, only know how to "i echo" this and that. Or type "weareexxonmobil" in comms session. Makes u wonder what these overpaid leeches are doing.
Lmao it is a joke when you think that our SLS are competent enough such that it will leave a tangible impact on the organisation if they leave, especially when the base engineers are leaving in hordes. How to be supervisor when there are no one to supervise?
It would be a lot more straightforward for the company to sever the services of the less experienced (say those with CL26s, in order to be ready to enact a second genesis of the SG workforce, when the time comes. This will guarantee an uninterruptible path forward, for the company to transition this temporary “glitch” without much business and operational impact.
If the attrition is reversed and top-side biased, it would be an almost impossible task to regenerate ourselves with a bunch of half-baked, low/no-experience employees, who had likely stayed on, only to eye at the SLS and DH positions vacated, that they think they would like, but have no capability at all, to fill!
GC and team are using CL26 and above attrition numbers to justify 1) Very few are leaving 2) With this layer intact, expertise and experience are here to stay 3) Pay package is competitive.
My observation is for CL26+...meaning 2nd line, dept head etc....they have nowhere to go...pay package too high for general management skillset.
To the rest....head for the exit doors if you can. The next 5 years at least wont be pretty.
@ 4Zkfj+16zEvLP3
Ifwe are lucky, they cut 2 months. Otherwise if things go according to GC’s plan, we will cut all 3 months. We are still competitive, especially at the CL26+ level got the attrition numbers to show for it, so it’s very likely this year is the last year we have 3 months AWS.
For those of you thinking of leaving, better close the deal quickly before the announcement is out and compromise your wage negotiations. Nobody is indispensable and the company is very eager to show this. GC is clearly eager to show support to Dallas. Don’t worry about her, her RSUs and the associated dividends will more than cover the AWS cuts. Think for yourself first.
I must cut Singaporean’s AWS so that Khun Woods will get his $3B cost savings.
Anybody know how much AWS they are potentially looking to cut?
Dallas has an agressive target for SG, with the believe that SG only needs 50% or 1500+ pax to run the biz here and remain profitable.
As long as this number is not met, salary freezes, promotion for only select few will continue for a few years no matter how well EM as a whole is doing.
GC/SG mgt is supportive and is trying to reach that target.
There is nothing much we can do...if you can leave...no one will be stopping you.
@4Zpra+16zEvLP3 besides improving optics I guess it improves the bottom line too. No need to shell out 3 months of pay and still be able to reach a similar conclusion. Sick.
Heard the same, there is not enough CL 26 group leaving, the bulk of the costs are in here. Business and operations can still do well, even if halved. Anyway, everyone thinks highly of themselves, and pip won't happen to them.
Things are getting from bad to worse... it is so sad to remain in the company. Someone please save me!
Yes, it is true...PIL will not be offered. This change is a recommendation to "improve the optics" of the PIP program after last year's TAFEP investigation.
All thanks to GC...lol
Next round of performance results out soon…is PIL still an option? Rumours that SG mgt wants that option removed to “prove that they don’t use PA to cull employees”? If so, it’s a really sadistic move.
It is confirmed that AWS will be reduced, talking points are being prepared for Sept/Oct communication. - usual message on how we need to be competitive etc etc.
All i can say is SG mgt did not do much to advocate for SG workforce.
plan to move out from EM once find a similar pay job. No security at all.
@4Ybuo+16zEvLP3 FAKE NEWS!!!!
According to my sources, AWS will be cut for sure. Talking points being worked. Got Shopee into the benchmarking exercise, but didn’t change the end results because Shopee don’t really pay that well.
J repeat- there’s still too many people staying in the firm, and levels of attrition are well below expectations. Mgmt was hoping more will leave but not too many (in CL26+) is taking the bait.
1 sg engineer for 3 kltc engineers. Moreover, we KL engineers are more efficient.
@4Zpdw+16zEvLP3
Our 3-month AWS alone, in SGD, is equivalent to fresh Thai engineers’ annual salary in Thai Baht!
Buahahahaha !!! :D
That’s why the Thai HR is green with envy!
All attrition is good attrition. Good chance to get rid of lazy Singaporean workers who only know how to whine on a layoff board. AWS can be cut but no one will leave!

I will leave before the Titanic sink.
Titanic, Nearer My God To Thee, the scene you must remember…
https://youtu.be/5hXG1tBFIi8
@4Ybuo+16zEvLP3 must be from Affairs or HR. Trying hard to use a tiny handy plaster strip to cover a deep wide wound cut that won't stop bleeding. Laughable.
@4Ybuo+16zEvLP3 How sad and pathetic are u to leave your fate depending on others ‘ actions ! Take control of your life … company’s fate relies on mercy of OPEC + which is sad enough…. Here you wait and sit around hoping for more pple to resign in order to hope for better increment ? Why allow ur dignity to sink that Low ? You mean years of working in the company has eroded your self worth to nought? Have more faith in yourself , the world is bigger than EM . EM is going to be the “ used to be “ great company , have the courage to step out to look for the “to be” company if your runway is still long. Don’t pin your hope on a sinking titanic …
Thanks for the generous information, certain for next year too? Nvm, shall take the final full AWS at year end, resign straight after that. Start planning now...Woohoo~
just heard news that we are coming close to the attrition target and AWS is safe! thanks to all our folks leaving for shopee! Please continue to momentum so people remaining can start to get better increments too!
We will not pay you more during good days because the profit is kept for the rainy days so we will never pay you less even the situation is bad. This is all bu-----t now.
2nd line resigning?? SCP or Ref?
for cl26 to resign....it must have been unbearable
Recently so many 2nd line left, from TSS, PSS to SLS. Wondering what is going on?
@4Xwry+16zEvLP3 good lazy silly puppy. Hear is your treats, you continue to be locked in cage ok? Watch the winners go out explore the real world.
Man, I love this scenario. Do you all stay and face possible aws cut, or do some of you leave (for better or for worse) and let these bitter, XOM>>SEA whiners keep their fat aws? Talk about dilemma!
