@st Forgive my haiku.
Your complaint has been outsourced.
My condolences.
@sf enough with the stupid poems!
We outsourced the work to save a buck. They outsourced it too. What marvelous luck!
Their contractor found a cheaper crew, who found another, as contractors do.
Now five companies each take a cut, six managers meet to discuss what's what.
And after all the savings, applause, and fuss, the final contractor outsourced the work right back to us.
USA Transformation.
There is a reason that no Success Stories are in the management training about a multi billion dollar corporation that found success by transitioning to an Indian workforce.
For some services maybe, but not so stupidly all-in as EM is attempting.
This transition will be used as a future example of what not to do.
This makes perfect sense as India is the future.
Kudos to the XOM management team!
How will this be achieved? Site closure, layoff, high pip number, or all of the above? (Serious question)
@cd why don’t you quit? Show them who’s the boss.
@c1 Field jobs are not safe. Guyana model is coming for field jobs. They will hire contractors to do the field jobs.
@cd that’s not how it works Doodley
Dude, bring it. The Bungalore folks can have the entire lot. So sick and tired of this show. Fire me now.
@af they will outsource most of the jobs that work in an office. Most field jobs should be good as it would be hard to replace people that actually work. If your job is done from a computer then it can be done from India unfortunately.
It’s worse than even that. The folks in Bangalore are now further outsourcing their work to cheaper, less capable MSPs. Who oversees them? Bangalore. More HC10 cuts to come. More than you even think.
Downstream and Chemical Technical Proposals, Gate Packages, Process Development Packages.. etc. have already migrated to the Bangaluru Technology Center.
Management may still be in the HC10 country, but the actual engineering work will be in a lower cost country such as India and Malaysia.
They are moving into a 2nd Bangalore building next year.
DW loves offshoring work to India and is asking teams to pick up the pace.
If your job didn't move yet, it could be moving next year. And even if your job isn't moving, you're gonna be left working extra to try to hold things together as India staff drop the ball on literally everything. It's gonna get worse for everyone whether your job is moving or not.
Dude… the Bangalore campus is already that size. The growth is planned to 10,000.
And, those aren’t KL cuts they’re looking to make to offset the growth.
How does that work with UNCON?
