Is anything going to come from this integration? Does supply chain pay drop to procurement or procurement get bumped to supply chain curve?

RV left because she saw the future is to fire everyone and migrate everyone to India. Get a new job elsewhere while you still can.
@18d Mostly absentee. But to be fair, we had had a leadership vacuum ever since RV took that role. So nothing new.
I left a year ago with RV in charge of procurement - saw she left on LinkedIn. What's the leadership look like now?
@dk sadly you are at their mercy.
@c2 Exactly! This integration has not been transparent at all. It’s fine that work is being done but at least make people aware of the direction. PDS cycle stops for no one so we don’t have time for this silliness. The entire existing Proc LT is a joke. Not one of them is inspiring or motivating.
@ag they might “red circle” people, which basically freezes pay increases until they are in line with their pay grade.
Both organizations are great at claiming nonexistent savings
They are adding even MORE supervisors (even though we should be getting rid of some of these unnecessary layers of management). But the supervisors are mainly being added in Bangalore. Procurement is seeing more and more of their categories offshored. Leaders only providing word salad when we ask what the plans are. Note to management: we don't care what the latest definitions or cost reduction or cost avoidance are, or what your priority must wins for the coming year are. In the absence of transparency, your top talent is busy planning exit strategies and searching job openings on Linkedin rather than waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under us. Your restructuring su-ks so far.
EMTECH (Upstream, Downstream, and Chemicals R&D and Engineering Support/Technical Services) and Global Projects is already co-located in Bengaluru, India.
We should expect that Management in Spring, Texas to migrate to India by 2030 (maybe sooner).
the company doesn't do pay cuts (YET!), so likely what will happen is the group making more will just stop getting raises...and the other group..oh yeah will probably also stop getting raises. If you aren't in India or Brazil you need to be OK rotting on the vine.
