Just heard another group in IT was told that they are replacing them with contractors. People in the group have an undefined amount of time to find a job elsewhere in the company or who knows what will happen. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.

@OP you must have been living under a rock for the last decade. EMIT has been majorly outsourcing since 2014. At this point they are begging for any help they can get. And like all other groups it will continue to PIP-fire 5% every year.
@OP EM IT are a joke, get rid of them all, outsource pretty much everything but keep a few curry heads around as backup, job done.
Outsource the work,
outsource the crew,
outsource the guy
who outsourced you.
Outsource the help desk,
the server, the mouse,
outsource enough
and nobody’s in-house.
Headcount goes down,
vendor costs soar
then hire a consultant
to outsource some more.
And when it all breaks
and no one knows why,
open a ticket.
Your contractor will reply.
I heard of a group that’s getting Rolex’s for Christmas and 10,000 shares of XOM each.
Since we’re just pulling stuff out of our butts now 🤷♂️
What group?
DW has ordered his minions to keep outsourcing more work so his headcount reduction chart can look better. Expect the outsourcing to continue, especially in support functions like IT.
Who? Are they ran by an XTO person?
