Energy firm ExxonMobil to slash 300 jobs in Singapore arm

It’s offering transitional support to those impacted.

International energy company ExxonMobil announced that it will be reducing its staff numbers at its Singapore arm, projecting approximately 300 positions to be affected by end-2021.

The number represents about 7% of the firm’s overall 4,000 headcount in Singapore.

The company announced the move is part of ExxonMobil’s ongoing effort to improve and sustain long-term competitiveness. The COVID-19 pandemic has reportedly catalysed ongoing reorganisation and changes in work process.

“This is a difficult but necessary step to improve our company’s competitiveness and strengthen the foundation of our business for future success,” said Geraldine Chin, chairman and managing director of ExxonMobil Asia Pacific.

The firm is offering transitional support to affected colleagues, Chin added.

Singapore will remain a strategic location for ExxonMobil.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
