Most of IT should outsource (to the cheapest bidder) and there should only be liaisons between IT and the business. That has been the goal for many years now and it looks like it's going to finally happen.
IT, HR, controllers needs a massive reduction. Maybe 100 geoscientists. Projects group has almost nothing other than Guyana with very slow DS and Petrochem projects. Possibly some growth in trading, but existing employees are not qualified to become traders or schedulers (these need to come from outside xom and will be very hard to hire because of low compensation in XOM trading org. XOM still losing alot of traders (LNG and gas and oil and products).
The writing is on the wall and it is clear what is about to happen... Manufacturing Engineers will report through EMTEC. EMTEC will drive HC reductions vs. leaving it up to the site's discretion to come up with a plan. It enables faster TC mandates across all manufacturing sites as there won't be any handcuffs in place.
It was odd wording suggesting reorg potential soon.
Outlook looks grim
@a9 except that's not what we're doing. We're employing zero experience people to do the "work".
Would love to see that gibberish too, but I'm sure it can't be worse than Gibbs GP propaganda sent today too.
Is there anyone in HC10 that hasnt now completely checked out?
Just wait til all the tech support is in India. I'll enjoy the 2 am "hello" that never gets a followup
Zamora is just following the H/R script which has been transmitted to all Presidents, Vice Presidents, and Executives.
"Employees Are Our Greatest Assets" means "Employees are our greatest expense."
EMTECH is one of the biggest corp expense. Let it fully outsource to a vetted vendor, all of it. The natural resource itself is the company's gem, not the people. Make the shareholders happy.
Emtech in Canada (EMIT included) being reduced by about 75%
206 ppl down to 50
EMTech provides tax savings in the form of cost sharing agreements where technology is shared across the corp… makes sense from that perspective
Why do we even need emtech? It's a freaking commodity business
EMTEC should be dissolved and let everybody go into business units.
This is long overdue for Exxon and rest of industry did years ago.
I’m so glad I’m prime target on the hit list, and getting out of this constant gaslighting with a severance. Finally!
Any details on the outlook for EMTech?
