Did our leaders make a mistake mass outsourcing our jobs to technical centers in India, i.e. BTC? Were they wrong to layoff and significantly dilute our homegrown technical talent? Were they short sighted at the expense of Canadian interests? Probably.
Now India has suspended visa services for Canadian citizens. Will Imperial change course and bring back jobs and project services to Canada? For out long-term strategic interests? Probably not. Go figure.
Are they really saving that much with Offshoring to India?
I suspect the savings is negligible compares to the overall size of the company.
They probably would save a lot more by getting ride of a lot of upper management positions. All thoes bonuses and high salaries.
Only the Government has more bureaucracy.
Do you think that Imperial/Exxon leader think about long term and good for the company? Executive only wanted to get more stocks and bonuses at the end of the year. They don’t care about the cheap sh---y work done by BTC. BTC folks also prefer to copy and paste as usual and try to find a loophole to come to US/ Canada to visit.
Beef? Interesting wording
I find it funny how Imperial thinks they have smart people. Just snobs who think their farts smell like perfume.
The most racist people I have seen are in Imperial. They rarely come to work in office, rarely work longer hours. Just watch BTC work and point errors even if there isn’t (hey, can you change font on this page - it’s not consistent with last page — so insightful).
Grow a pair, you su-k.
It’s not Imperial making these decisions, it is ExxonMobil.
Imperial management is just doing what their EM are telling them to do.
Imperial is no longer a Canadian company …. Do not kid yourself.
Offshoring for cheap labor is not a good long term strategy. But the decision makers rarely think beyond their own shelf life at a particular company. It'll be someone else's mess to clean up. The Canada-India beef just proves the point. India is too immature to handle tough situations it put's itself into. It's like dealing with a brat child who wants to take his ball and go home after another kid calls him out for cheating. There is a reason India has a large exploitable workforce. Hopefully, other countries will take notice and temper their economic trade agreements accordingly.
