Well I do not have to "Prove you wrong" however, some departments have lost 80% of US staff. If you have not experienced this in your department, I would look around and ascertain whether any jobs in your area can be done in a low cost geography. If so, then your department will be in the future years to come.
If your department positions cannot be outsourced then you are in a unique job, because most job positions can be outsourced, even if it is by an outsourced contracting company in the USA. The biggest driver for cost reduction is the USA accounting system, contracting is an expense which is directly deductible from revenue. Employees are a long term cost that carries retirement, health care, etc.
so a large portion of jobs will be outsourced to reduce costs as Chevron moves into low cost / maximum revenue corporate strategy.
