im going to tender my resignation after they annouce the bonus...

cant seems to get it right, im from tech background and placed on non tech post... got a project post, denied...and again being denied for another tech post..eventho the receiving party wanted me in...but the fact that releasing party must first "allow" it...

heck... enough is enough with all those policy of transferring and enough with all the sweet promises... when the time come the bosses said..."u need to understand the business needs for our department"

duh...jumping back to my old industry... eventho the workload is double but im happy there...

lifestyle, if u prefer calm and no jam place it the place to be...i love it....but if ur really city type person...its not suitable lah

just most of the ppl here are ...well as mentioned earlier .....more towards *minded type of person....

bonus...usually will be on month of <PM me> payroll but its all depends on president announcement aswell.

i know,,, something worst beyond my expectation happened yesterday which as up the push factor... paiseh..

well i guess i've made my decision..working with these company is really good howver. depends on the crowd you were placed.... and yes office politics is a must to survive...being straight outspoken and honest (attitude) will lead to the situation as what im ffacing now....

initially wanted to wait for bonus...but heck..im tendering tomoro

Push factor...basically i agree with dat, bcoz i oso wrote dat as a reason when i quit.
office politic is there oso. it seems like u n me r same type of person. (but i thk all company is having politic issues somehow)
being too honest n straight will lead us into trouble. situation bcm even worse if big boss n boss are not "on same ship".
wat to do...haha. juz bear in mind, do our job n perform nicely lo.
Since u had make a decision, respect ur decision. FYI, there r lot of job opening now...i guess u can easily get 1 since u have years of experiences.
i read an article, sometimes...majority of ppl left a company bcoz of his/her superiors rather than the company benefits.

thx for your reply bro,


it seems like im not alone in this departing boat.. there are other boats which already departed due to same reason,

tender notice is 3 months.... darn... but i have to start looking for a job now or else i'll be forking out my savings to pay my debts..

to simple person = going to pm you some personal questions soon, by tonite i'll shoot it..

Just read an article where "NOCs today were facing stark reality of talent shortage that might hamper its long-term growth strategy if left unresolved."
I believe most fresh graduates like me are eagerly to join this field (especially engineering part where involves different kind of technical concepts) and apply what they have learned in tertiary edu. into the REAL WORKING WORLD. Freshies are willing to learn as we know every1 need to be equipped by real experiences in order to b an expertise in particular field.
Actually is quite sad to read that. Do we ever question ourselves why we are still facing of talent shortage? I guess this is the main issue where HR should really think about it.
1st: Position right candidate in the right position (how? base on their qualification, as simple as that)
2nd: Track on new employees' point of view / suggestion during their probation period (whether is this position suit them)
3rd: Realign the issues and do rearrangement
4th: Counseling
5th: ...................
Wonder if I'm in HR, will I still have this kind of perception? haha. may be they have their own judgment/concern too.
The manpower hasn't been properly utilized...my personal view only...hehe

let me answer it on HR point of view at the place where am i working because every E3 Sg ppl is a HR manager/change agent, part of the initiative start by the HR here

I will tell you what usually happened in PETRONAS

1) which PETRONAS, i would say in general especially the HR OPU's failed to do, they took the recommended candidate from the pool and simply fill the vacant position (especially position for these 3 particular department HR, Supply Chain and Performance Integirty). reason behind it, its the HR department KPI not to have vacant position for more than 3 months. Thus creating lotsa problem ie; Freshie in technical background (IT)/Business field experienced candidates being placed in the department which got nothing to do with their past working experienced/studies.

2) The tracking mechanism is there, but please be informed that for freshie (uspecially for those whom bonded with petronas scholar) have no choice, even if they voice it out, the HR answer it somehow like "another requesting for transfer case" attitude. and freshie whom is not bonded they are too afraid to let it go since they had joined PETRONAS..Most of it.....as for experienced entry (like me) i did voice it out, but their answer will be "there is no vacant Box for your placement, sorry we cant accomodate your request, even if you did find the box on your own, the boss will not release you (most cases)

3) they called it feasibility studies on position, which they did every 3 years previously, and the new president give a hint to do it every year since the industry is moving fast... but i do not know what is it nor see any difference accept for the new rem packages.

4) Counselling, it will be USELESS if engage the counselor from PETRONAS as they wont really hear you as they are tied to company policy. thus whatever advice they give will be pro company....

5) Retention strategy...... to avoid any attrition cases due to better offer from other company or pinching activity by other company..the result is as of now PETRONAS is doing revision and had it implemented starting this month, will better package to executive staff

6) Manpower utilization, HR job is ssubmit the position description together with on the job relevancy by line department to GTCM every year. GTCm will evaluate it and check whether it is under utilized, over utlized or OK, if under utilized usually will lead to box deletion, over utilized lead to box addition and ok means stano.

hope i answered your questions from HR point of view in PETRONAS...

eventho im quitting the company but still there are some statement i've made which defending this company, i have to admit the company is great! but depends on which crowd you were in.

hi jauzi,

as simple minded said, your question is toooo general,

if you narrow down your question such as

"who is the senior manager for maintenance department PCSB, CHO...maybe we can help you to answer it"

FYI PCSB got 7 devision (not sure on the new structure tho), each devision got SGM, and some devision got few GM, thus if you narrow down. the hierachy, well....my location itself got 11 SM.

Hi , would love to ask anyone who is working in Petronas at the moment,
I had been offered a job In Petronas, carigali (as an executive in well fluids and geomechanics), drilling department, development division. Any idea what are the job scopes and what do they do? I tried asking almost everyone in HR, but it seems like they have no idea at the moment. Its very vexing, not knowing what you will be doing, so I cant really prepare yet> I think it will be good to have a thorough reading on any text, anything! if i knew what I would be doing!!

you may ask the HR on the job description (JD)

everysingle position is bound to single PID (position ID) and each PID has its own JD,

usually they will give you once ur inside the system (report duty)
