One of the most ridiculuos policy in petronas will be revoked. Alhamdulillah. My friends melompat2 seronok last nite, when this very pic of the document went viral. Thank God the new HR's VP takes into consideration of what people are feeling/ saying about this bullshit, implemented by her predecessor which I believe is a complete idiot.

Ps: Bro Azraeil, he's one of the EVPs right now? The other 3 seemed highly unlikely to be such a person, let alone the COO who looks like a down-to-earth person to me. Is it the 'whitehead'?

Well my brother will be happy as well (though I'm not) coz his girlfriend is also a Petronas scholar. I teased him that he can't work with Petronas then because of the policy .... now cannot say that lah. And I so wish he would boraden his horizon a bit .... high-school girlfriend is so passe'.

Well now he can also usha those CDU/CPDD girls .... heh heh heh ... jahat punya abang ....

As I mentioned in my older post, the HR is the culprit in disseminating rumours especially about increments and bonuses. They seem to think that this kind of activity will retain staff when the opposite is true.

Corporate Development Unit/Corporate Planning and Development Division. I dunno why but they usually hire "easy on the eyes" girls in those units heh heh heh ....

The biggest Oil Company in the World.

How much is your salary??? tell me THE RANGE only!!!

wanna compare with mine la~~

The biggest Offshore Oil field in the world also .... the scale here is just crazy. 2 billion reserve ..... meeehhhhh too small .... no need to concentrate on that ....

The previous management gave too much power to HR and stressed that everyone contributes equally to the company so the remuneration scheme is the same across the board. This mentality is probably okay if you are working in government office but for an MNC to have this kind of mentality in the 21st century is suicidal.

The performance management review/assessment is also another factor. I mean, I worked my ass off and only got a rating of 3 because my boss expected me to work like a higher grade code because that's where he envisioned I would be in the future. How's that for a dumb ass reason for not giving me a good rating. Instead of ranking me against my peers, I am being ranked with my future self. That rating 3 is also given to those who ponteng kerja, who does drugs so basically in the grand scheme of things, I am not better than those people.

I worked 10 years and my gaji at the time was not even 7K. A middle east company offered me 6 times more and tax free. It was a no brainier. This is basically the same story that you will hear from a lot of ex-pet. A company that had delusions of grandeur and deaf and blind to staff's proposal and market movement in the industry.

If you talk to any headhunter, the current climate is called "Scarced Tecnical Professionals Market". So for PETRONAS at the time to NOT taking any steps was foolish and down right criminal.

Block C? Which tower is that? 

that's my floor, 4th floor. n i just had a conversation with my boss about those scary things especially in fourth floor. muahahaha. sooooooo scary. plus it's raining almost every evening makes it even scarier.

care to share some stories bro azraeil?

Around end of September, and I just got my offer letter recently. Just wait la bro, they will ask you to do medical check-up soon 

Just wondering, From PETH can join the PCSB or not? The benefit,bonus,entitlement same for both OPU or not?   

Dear all Masters in da forum....
I am inside PET ady for 2 weeks.. but plan to switch compeni. But my 92k bond is worrying me. May I get some insights from all the sifus, gurus; say for instance, the worst case... PET asked me to pay lump sum and dismiss my application to pay installments.... wut wud be the % and limit of borrowing from banks in M'sia???Hw long wud be the max payment yrs den???? & if I appeal, hw much chances I wud get permission to pay in installments??

Thanxxxx.......

Thanks bro. I had a Technical Assessment and SI both on the same day as they need somebody for the position urgently. Came out exhausted but overall satisfied (I've done better with Shell though).

They're kind of look warily when they see my expected salary. Anyone has any idea what to expect of Petronas' offer of a 10-year experience in geoscience? Without factoring my current salary as I know they sometimes offer lower than current as if the have their own scale to refer.

bro,this comes from personal experience or just hear say?I find it quite low for someone with 10 years experience in petroleum/geoscience.....

If this is true,I wonder how Petronas attract or retain their technical staff

As a Geoscientist, you will be required to go offshore once in a while to observe drilling. You expect servicing company to do that?? Go and analyze data yourself lerrr

Yeah, i definitely going for the session..however do you know what is exactly they do at PRSB, as i am PE background..
Thank for the reply anyway..:-)

Hey guys,

Please enlighten me..

I'm wondering if there is a job for IT in Petronas because i did my research and failed get any information regarding this. Fortunately, they take IT students for their intership programmes but not for job?

Hi bro, just wondering, for a new hire to be eligible for bonus, apart from being confirmed, does he or she need to work "more than 6 months" or "at least 6 months"? Just wondering as I will be starting on 1st July, meaning it won't be in the "more than" category.

I know for a fact that if you miss the cut-off date even for 1 day (for promotion, merit, bonus or what not), PETRONAS HR will really follow the rule to the letter in not giving you those things ....

Knowledge is power and Petronas HR likes their power and therefore they keep all the necessary policies etc close to their chests. I had an executive handbook before which probably have not been updated for ages. I think I wrote somewhere my current company Industrial Relations Manual which is 17 chapters long with 7 appendixes and we have 7 different payrolls. I love it because it's all transparent and if you have any questions with regards to anything (your entitlement etc etc), you just send a query to personnel and they will respond with the necessary clarifications. And the IR Manual is updated regularly (at the minimum every quarter) and any changes to policies will be updated in the IR Manual as well. They will even inform you which paragraph, in which chapter changes have been made. They put the IR Manual on the intranet so you can always download the PDF version and read it at your leisure

Think PETRONAS HR will do that ??? ....
