Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

@1dwo+1t97cmxd To remain employed at Exxon you must move to India.

And the guillotine for the executives who hire them.
how about that?
it's not just the money. it's the thought that counts.

I get it. So if I’m going to stay at Xom for say 8 more years where do I need to go?

Tariff is hard, the only way to stop outsourcing is through protectionist laws. Unfortunately both republicans and democrats are against it, because their funds comes from companies. And companies love cheap anything - labor and goods

Just wondering if these service were subject to tariffs like manufactured products are raw materials?

How about tariffs on goods manufactured from low cost locations that you shop for so gladly such that those goods get made locally?

I’m liking that idea. And penalties for hiring managers from foreign countries with nothing but toxic traits and victim mentalities.

@OP If you’re sitting in Spring, TX, you are not engineering anything.

Here is a short list of activities that count as being engineering related:

1. Derivation of a mathematical law governing the function of a physical system using first principles.

2. Performing finite element analysis to obtain the stress/strain distributions of a mechanical component of an engineered system.

3. Conduct of detailed/critical design reviews before a panel of peers as part of new product development initiatives.

4. Development and/or acceptance testing of successfully built prototype engineered systems.

Neither you, nor anyone else you work with at ExxonMobil, is doing any of this or anything even remotely close to it. You develop and review purchase specifications for vendors, skim P&IDs, make entries into static spreadsheets, and scroll your phone during Zoom calls. Trust me, if you were doing any actual engineering work, your jobs wouldn’t be getting sent to the third world in the first place.

Yes. 500% per role given the overall economic impact lost to the country. Make America Great again and again!
