I think MW and MN and the ELT and BOD look around at tech companies like X and now DOGE cutting or offshoring huge amounts of personnel to save on costs and assume Chevron can do it too. Boeing thought they could send engineering work offshore to cheaper locations and gave the world the 737MAX debacle and other recent infamous issues.
You can offshore some work with minimal risk. Offshoring engineering and design work is asking for disaster. I’m glad I won’t be working on anything designed by these low cost, low experience ENGINE folks, and it has nothing to do with their nationality but everything to do with my own personal safety
