Thread regarding ExxonMobil Corp. layoffs

Terrible overseas workforce

There is a revolving door of 20 year olds making less than $3K/month that make everything so much harder to do. They are terribly inefficient and have no ability to think beyond their process. Because it’s a revolving door they are married to their process document. They can make you look good or terrible. This is what supports us trying to run the business. I’ve been unlucky having the terrible ones reporting to me while my colleague has had a star. Then you give the star more work and they quit.

There’s an army of useless people that can be absorbed by fewer people and they’d be open to the work with extra pay. I don’t get why keep the headcount artificially high. We could pay the good ones double and cut the useless people and the wages would still be lower than US. The revolving door of bottom feeders is such a drain.

Chevron only chose Bangalore as an F U to EM over the Guyana stalemate.

Chevron plans to recruit nearly 100% from EM Bangalore staff by offering more money.

I encourage all EM Bangalore staff to jump to Chevron for more Rupees, and give good references for all your EM workmates so they can jump to Chevron quickly.

Gotta hand it to our executives to be brazen, craven and shameless enough to decide somehow they alone provide “value” and everyone else was overpriced garbage. What a strategy - ditch 60% of the people making it work in the OECD, pay third world labor pennies on the dollar for some hopelessly broken imitation of that work, and fill their pockets by skimming part the difference. Bunglelore might have the chaotic trappings of a developing country, but the real trash can be found in the nicest offices in Spring.

CVX saw the talent, the positive impact to the bottom line, and simply did not want to be left behind.

Smart management.

@1dtw -- Because we all use the same consultants, and all of the companies default into being a school of fish. Nobody wants to be left behind and possibly lose out on whatever is being pitched as the edge of competitiveness. Chevron is also being pressured by investors to drive out "structural" costs.

Don't fool yourself that BTC is some brilliant insight. It's cheap labor. Period.

Because BTC is like the instant noodles you eat......will solve your hunger problem at a low cost, but might even taste pretty good initially. Keep eating it daily, will make you sick / and eventually ki-l you. Nothing beats a healthy home cooked meal but takes time and money.

If it is so bad, then why is Chevron moving to BTC?

They melt before they have had time to warm up.

This will someday fail so spectacularly that there will be a Harvard case study about it and the establishment of BTC will be the primary root cause.

If you’re a finance leader, your career is determined by these people and the luck of the draw. And you’ll be working longer hours to deal with the time zone and having half of your team overseas. India is the worst.

@tco+1w25d9yu at least some are quite capable but they all leave after 6 months and there's no handover and the original employee in HC10 is gone and now you have a perpetual cycle of no one knowing what they are doing

Give them some time to warm up. They will deliver.
