AWS cuts will come. If attrition doesn’t increase any time soon, everyone can look forward to a best case scenario of 1 additional month AWS. It will be packaged as we are doing you a favor by giving you one additional month vs no AWS at all.

I will only quit if my LCM quits to join Shopee. EM till I die! We are ExxonMobil
https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1bv1Flau
Planning to switch career path, really not wise to stay in EM since there is no future
Even our HR has gone to Shopee. What are you waiting for? Shopee is hiring.
Beyond shopee, there’s also Facebook, Amazon, Google, Apple, companies that don’t treat their employees like sh-t- and offer free drinks and food in their pantries, regardless if oil is at -30 or at 150. So don’t be the last stupid guy left holding the bag.
Worst still- your loyalty won’t be rewarded. You have 5 pax in your PA pool. 4 has left. Now you are the only 1. You will be merged into a regional and global pool where your efforts can’t be noticed, and 8-10% NSI is required. Who will they throw under a bus first? Is it the Singaporean person whose name they can’t pronounce, or is it their coworker in the States where they can have beer after work with no masks on? All the best!
Is anyone not looking for a job?
Two decades in company, fees like shet to constantly worried about this new ranking process. Awfully regrettable rotting in EM!

as part of the corporate plan, the departures are still below plan/expectations. So a lot more need to leave before we see a restoration of benefits + of course oil prices need to rebound
4Vljb+16zEvLP3,
Why wait for news of bonus and increment. Go for job interview, if u get an offer, quit and go. When u meet a new gf who cherishes u more than current one , would u wait for another one night shack before leaving ? Come on ! Set your sight further don’t be myopic .
Seems like a lot of the Singaporean workers want to be the band members playing the musical instruments as Titanic sinks. That’s nice. I suppose that’s We Are ExxonMobil for you.
The company is betting on you not leaving pal. See how much sh-t you can take before you quit. And once you leave, position is moving to China and India. This is a high costs place. No place for costly Singaporeans who whine and whine on layoff boards.
@4Wjtk+16zEvLP3 Time to leave to keep our dignity, before EM starts to label and humiliate us!
What HR and top management need to realise is that as long as the 8% NSI load shed is sustained every year (notwithstanding the extension of salary freeze, promotions and removal of AWS) - that in itself, will be the trigger and impetus for most people to want to leave!! Bottom and top performers alike, regardless. Age will be the key deciding factor and the desire … even desperation to want to leave the company will be inversely proportional with age/YEE.
It’s all about job (IN)security.
Imagine yourself going for an interview in a new company and the interviewer tells you:
“Our company strives to hire the best and more than that - keep only the top performers.
So we have a system whereby the bottom 8-20% performers will be severed each year, as part of our “cleansing” exercise.
Now, would you want to join such a company - when you will have countless nightmares about your job, e.g. whenever you make mistakes, don’t meet deadlines, get reprimanded by the boss, investigated upon on indiscretions, not following procedures, failing LPSAs big time and continue sliding down the PA rankings each year ….. and the list goes on.
@4Vljb+16zEvLP3 Not only NSI candidates threw in the towel but also top performers start looking for jobs to jump. We don’t feel secured anymore in this company.
If EM continues with 8% PIP yearly as well as decided to cut bonus or pay freeze again end of this year, most of the employees below age 45 will leave the company.
The only regret I have in my career is I was stupid enough to cancel my oversea holiday trip because of last minute shutdown support required from me. We used to feel proud and accomplished even though work continuously 13 days in TA/project start up.
If HR manager or management see this post, we are waiting for the news of pay freeze or bonus cut so that can make decisions quickly.
I saw some EM folks resigned and do food delivery now. He even said flexible timing, better pay since no OT and do not have to travel all the way to JI to expose with hydrocarbon.
Take the offer.
If you stay here your supervisor will PIP you save his or her own job in the next 3-5 years
Take the offer. The sector is booming...just saw in the news yesterday that GlobalFoundries invested $5 billion in Singapore.
Yea with AWS and with a bit of increment but nothing to shout about
Matching your current pay with AWS or not? If it’s with AWS- go. Don’t wait anymore. Save yourself, you don’t owe this company anymore.
3 year engineer. They are only willing to match my current pay
@4Vjuk+16zEvLP3 You better jump to micron before sinking together with EM forever
https://www.thelayoff.com/post/@4Vjuk+16zEvLP3
Is the package competitive to EM?
Increments and AWS cuts are not mutually exclusive. Both can occur at the same time. #winning! Especially when it will never occur to DW or GC though.
@4Vjuk+16zEvLP3 What potential increment? I thought we were looking at potential bonus cut!
Increments won’t be high like yesteryears. You can see China’s increment as an example. Micron sounds a lot better - at least they won’t be letting Thai HR decide the fate of your AWS
Received an offer from micron, should I jump or should I stay for the potential increment at the end of this year…
Wow where are the SLS and SSM from
Sour grapes. Employees resigned for the better but some stuck in EM feeling uneasy about it. Without looking at ownself, labelled leavers as incapable to make own self feel better. Mental clinic most likely can help such mental issues, but not guaranteed. Go look into the mirror first.
@4Vtqq+16zEvLP3 NSI candidates that threw in the towel to avoid embarrassment.
Six supervisors and planners recently tendered their resignations. The door is always widely open for us to go.
Bloomberg) -- Exxon Mobil Corp. is preparing to reduce headcount at its U.S. offices by between 5% and 10% annually for the next three to five years by using its performance-evaluation system to suss out low performers, according to people familiar with the matter.
The cuts will target the lowest-rated employees relative to peers, and for that reason will not be characterized as layoffs. How about us?
Shopee, where dreams come true!
Singapore is like the US. High cost country. Lots of quiet Asians working here. Most likely to get PIPed for lack of visibility. Find a company who doesn’t value show boating that much.
Exxon Prepares to Cull U.S. White-Collar Ranks by as Much as 10%.
Guys, run fast or it will be too late.
Apple, Google, Amazon are hiring too. Unlike Exxon, there’s actually other companies who are booming. Save yourself, apply to those companies and spare yourself the pain of breaking your back for the company only to be told you need improvements with vague feedback. When in reality, you just don’t have enough visibility. Good luck!
You can shout Heil GC, Heil Exxon on your way out!
Our neighbours in Jurong island are hiring. Move out if you can find a suitable job.
fun at work is YOU solving more problems and the manager receiving the high salary.
pantry, gym, free food. The few things that can never happen in manufacturing plant. The few things that can easily make you enjoy going to work. Still rmb SCP tech manager say fun at work is solving more problems...lol jokes
In what way is shopee only slightly better than us?
