I know that almost half of U.S. HR was either laid off or NSI’d in the past several months.
Are they going to fully outsource what’s left of HR to a managed service provider? I know they have continued to offshore work to lower cost countries.

HR is solely a "business partner" to management on up to the top. HR and Law ensure that management and supervisors can discriminate however they like, and will make sure that the company cannot be sued. Any discrimination reported from an employee to HR is immediately communicated to mgmt so they can shred any evidence and put it back on the employee somehow. Tag the employee, micromanage them, and find a way to get them terminated. There is no camaraderie. Supervisors on up to CEO in this company these days are sociopaths.

@pdp+1a7M3EPZ Tracy and the gang is wicked!
Singapore HR was halved or forced to retire early.
About time.. I always wonder what Organisational Excellence folks were meant for.. no value..
In-house HR in the US has taken a beating. It is gone.
(Note that in most other countries, there is a link between HR (sometimes called 'Personnel') and worker's councils or regulatory groups. Not required in US.)
So hired g00ns are nothing new. Probably cheaper and have their own lawyers.
I've known some fine people in this company's HR system.
In old times, it was a respected position (though they did intrude on privacy sometimes and have people's home's garbage can content collected on occasion.)
More recently, actual HR-trained personnel (that is, got a degree in Human Relations or related) have come in - and left quickly.
The actual planning, documenting and communication of the company's 'HR' policies has been out-sourced for a long time. The real stuff.
Now they are just doing that with the Execution of the stuff.
There's no actors union in ExxonMobil.
Few companies really want to have any HR at all. Just Security.
This question should be easy for Tracy G. to answer. Come on Tracy G. you owe it to people in all transparency.
Let's see, we are no longer offering any meaningful trainings to people other than PIP training for compliance, so we dismantled the CLO organization other than keeping cheaper employees and some favoritis.
We are also not recruiting anymore so no recruiting team needed, get rid of them.
HR cant do data analysis work either to source that to MSPs also.
S&D process is low quality and transactional formality these days since managers can and will pick only their favorites. So any MSPs can do this work for pennies so source this out to.
HR Asvisory jobs which XOM considers it as their premium jobs can be done much better by sourced HRBPs at much cheaper cost, so source it out to for pennies again.
Oh well, what else is left? Nothing? Than fire Tracy G. and source out her job as well. Problem solved!
don't talk about HR on here, you'll get the dreaded "admin" police
What did HR do previously that requires their current level of employment? They were basically a worthless organization that did /knew absolutely nothing.
You are correct.
