What are your thoughts?
It feels like an exercise to see who would be willing to support after they've outsourced almost everything. Take the few that are willing (or if there are extras, the top picks in their mind) and distribute them into the roles they envision moving forward. My guess is those roles will be 1) supporting site operations day to day; i.e. contractor management, permiting, etc. 2) oversight of the outsourcing. Keeping them "accountable". 3) roles they legally can't get rid of; so they'll keep the bare minimum.
Anyone else have a different read or theory?
