In Aramco, most decisions are made by the department head. They don't have HR over there, they have Personnel and their job is to make sure that they serve the employee. Small outfit. They do have a thick Employee IR (Industrial Relations) Manual which they update constantly. The IR manual is on the Intranet and all employees are able to access it and any changes done will be shown (summary of changes/clause etc) and the actual IR Manual in PDF format will have this thick red bars on the side showing what has changed.

The only company where I have worked which I had no issues with HR. If you have any issues you'd like to clarify, you just send an email to your personnel advisor and they will clarify the matter within a couple of days. Employment Certificates (for your loans or whatever) is generated automatically from your HR Online portal so basically your interactions with HR is very very minimal. Almost everything is handled via the SAP system in the background, so your leaves, your allowances etc are handled by your department/division secretary .... it was awesome. It was night and day compared to my previous company.

A good Tuesday to begin with oil price closed strong. A happy Chinese New Year for all since people can enjoy lower fuel price to offset price increased of other goods.
Heard that Petron will be giving out 5-6 months of bonus while Shell about 2-3 months.
