Hopefully, Singapore employees are going to vote white on their proxy forms. Just like how they typically vote in the General Elections.

Wow, even SCC have leaks. Might as post the meeting mins on intranet, so we don’t have to rely on layoff.com?
Heard there’s too many tier 2s not leaving, so not a lot of opportunities for the younger ones too. Will be surprised if anyone below 10 years in the company is not looking for the job– with GC very eager to freeze pay and cut AWS to pay tribute to her masters in Dallas
If brown nosing is such a critical skill, why isn’t this part of our SDA? At least someone should create a CBT on how to bury our noses deep in my bosses and senior management’s as––s? Certainly more useful than the PA CBT.
Can someone get GSK back? Oh wait, he pi–––d off DW, so guess there’s no way back for him.
Then can we at least have a LCM who cares for the people, reflect the situation on the ground and demonstrate some courage of conviction to push back whenever the demands from Dallas gets too ridiculous, or are we asking for too much?
Another thing is clear too– F&L keep producing sh–––y leaders. DW in Dallas, NS, IC in Houston, GC, MB in Singapore. What’s wrong with these people that comes from F&L and what kind of leadership training they got?
Good luck in people searching for new jobs. Need to show the company that we have market value outside. Else they will continue to treat us like trash man – at some point, GC will tell us be glad you have a job, and the privilege to be working for a giant in O&G.
One thing is clear – GC is no leader like GSK for sure.
worst is when some mgt sweeping their mistakes under the carpet, times after times and not getting penalized, yet still drawing big cheques.
It is all about showing Houston what Sg can do to help. Everyone working for these local puppets. Pay confirm to freeze, hurting the lower income, demoralises the mid income, ironically motivates the highest income. Unfair!
EM salary is not the most competitive please. With continued pay freeze, you're getting overtaken by peers in smaller mid cap companies.
If you think of moving after vesting so many years here, you're not gonna get a matching salary offer because no company will pay that much to a jack of all trades. The system was set up to make it difficult for you to walk away. Many of you peg your self–worth to your salary, right?
So what to do? Come here kpkb lor. Play dirty. Join WIN. Work like dog. Take it like you're paying your master back for all the treats he gave you during the good ol' days. Woof!
They are also floating the idea of a 2023 salary freeze should attrition and performance standards continues at current level , to show Dallas that SG workforce is resilient and passionate.
—– twisting the truth to please DW
SG management rationale is since the workforce delivered positive earnings with pay freeze.....there is no reason the raise the salaries. Only when attrition spike above certain threshold or morale of workforce affects business results will the SG management decide to raise salaries.
Sounds like GC is no different from the expats, totally indifferent to the suffering of the employees and more eager to brown nose her white masters.
Positive earnings so why need to freeze increment?
Combined site leadership meeting. – GC and SG leadership maintains the view that SG attrition is manageable meaning SG workforce is contented with current compensation and is still delivering excellent results. Positive 1Q refinery and Chem earnings from SG sites. Therefore 2022 salary freeze is justified while AWS cut is still undecided.

On upcoming PA, the SG leadership message to the broader group is " PA is not solely for salary, but for long term career development. People who choose to stay is not solely for salary, but truly believe in EM"
4 left this week but attrition is still manageable. At least now there’s office space for us remainers to work and try to impress the boss before the PA system. One of them is still rated outstanding – guess that slot has freed up for me..
Becoming obvious that management enjoys getting rid of people WITHOUT saying it out. Meet the KPIs and keep their jobs. Still keen to work for them?
Doesn’t change anything. Jo Teo didn’t do anything. The new minister won’t do anything too. Will you pi–––d off anybody who has put down 25 billion at your place? No right?
A lot of people in the plant are leaving, but it seems that the plant is still running well. Looks like we are truly over staffed to begin with after all.
Please, all your complaints doesn’t really matter, and no one really cares. Newspaper rather report on some trivial neighborhood dispute than what EM is doing, because for outsiders, they will be thinking some whiny babies crying on some tougher ranking system.
Stagnant pay and potentially AWS cut for you, and you can’t do anything because you can’t get a job outside anyway. So just be stuck here because you can’t find a better deal than EM. Our HR benchmarking is spot on – once again.
There are ppl say something up only to protect their own interests. Pretend they know the system well but not actual work. don't know how to do it by themselves. But they know the system only on the surface not actual intent. So the number game starts.. such a poor thing...te worker bees know how work can be done in smart way but managers kept busy ask if not means no need them at all..
Dear @3Vgas+16zEvLP3, I don’t believe GC does not know of this post. Let her come on to this post and declare that she did not know of this post when EM is “ki––––g” the Company and there is so many complaints. EM management is like the ostrich which stick its head into the ground – does not want to know the real issues and believe their actions are good for the long term. I hope GC is not another one that we cannot trust..........we have lost the trust in EM and to re–build this, takes a lot of effort and a very long time.
This board is only more active after 7 pm.
A sign that many of the complaining ones are the hard working as––s in the day, Got no time to read or post anything here.
However, no matter what, no incremental, AWS cut, for 2 years.
Good luck All.
Really dunno what is wrong what is happening WTF em is doing with us
We have work to do but fls/otl very busy forcing us to come up with quality and quantity lpo lpsa
Quality quantity our axs lah we have a job to do and complete lah not wasting time talking sh–t and coxk
Whats the worse thing can happen
I say the worse plant gone and people also gone nothing left anymore
Still can ask some more whats the worse thing can happen
Is em and their little napoleans stupid axshole du–b or what
Really getting from bad to worse this em site
Not suprised at all many already left and more otw soon
No motivation to work with current workload + hi management expectation... #burnout
Stop complaining on such boards. No one reads it and no one cares. spoke to GC about this and she doesn’t even know about this board. So I don’t know why will there be people posting stuff everyday. Focus on your job so that you don’t get PIPed.
Definitely no increment for 2022 too. It has been communicated to people with CL way higher than yours. So just wait for the memo in October.
SG management knows those who are capable of finding a new job would have already left...those who remain are either hopeful or have no alternative. SG attrition remains low, 2022 pay freeze is decided and management forecast those who are here today will continue to deliver and stay even without pay increase. That is the reality.
Any Tom, Di–k, Harry and mother’s son can apply for a job, but how many actually found one. Not many, so all stay here, because our pay is still competitive. Otherwise, how you explain the packed level 8 now.
No pay increase and we still around? You wait and see, many I know are actively applying for jobs... including myself as well. Good bye at least I still get my prorated BONUS!
No pay increases – but still many people around. We are still okay.
2 things have been confirmed among SG leadership
1) Pay freeze across the board will continue in 2022. Official Comm only in Sept/Oct ‘21.
2) Narrative to all employees on PA intent is for future career development, not solely for salary.
AWS cut yet to be confirmed.
It’s been confirmed at different forums that we won’t transition to a variable based bonus. It will just be a straight cut to AWS, if it happens. That’s because there’s a view that we like to provide stability to the payouts – dividends, pay, AWS, and we won’t want to create volatility in payout through a variable bonus.
Eliminate the surplus AWS, replace with performance based ones, star performer will get more than before and vice versa. Now we are talking! Let's do it.. fight it out.
I believe the attrition rate has not fully reflected recent events. We are only starting to see the beginning of an exponential curve.
Should have cut aws at the onset of covid and declining oil price ma. Now vaccine out liao, economy recovering, still think about cutting aws? Classic example of how slow EM moves with time.
Salary freeze across the board will continue for SG in 2022 as attrition continues to be managable and results are still delivered.
The outstanding item yet to be decided is on AWS removal as removing it constitutes a direct 20% pay cut, SG management is concerned that will spike attrition.
Young ones leaving not a concern, because can offset their fat pay cheques, enjoy michelin meals at our expense. Hundreds or thousands must be cursing them daily, suay vibes being absorbed them.
An informal survey amongst all our friends has informed me that pay freeze for another year won’t impact the attrition numbers – but will improve the EMAPPL’s competitiveness, so we should do it.
Those less than 5yrs is easier to change the runway. Being Young is a huge capital in fact. But those longer service here in decade likely stuck include many managers, many SLSs...
Blind or what, so many young ah boys/ah girls leaving or left. Is the committee's definition of "young" including themselves? accidentally included uncle and aunties?
