How is IT looking now? I still haven't heard anything from my Line Manager has anyone else? I'm seeing jobs in other industries should i start looking now, before everyone rushes the market?
I work at XOM in IT. We have the same situation. Trying to move as much work as possible to our low cost IT locations. Houston based IT personnel are gonna be pushed out. Sad.
Even IT jobs that were placed in Houston as recently as late last year are being re-looked at to see if they can be replaced in SBOs working US hours due to the success of remote working these last 6 months i.e. IT jobs that some managers fought tooth-and-nail to put in the US last year are now being re-looked at in light of COVID.
Bleak?
They always loved to outsource IT, covid is another excuse on steroids
