I am employed in ETC. Last year my team was told that our jobs were being looked at for outsourcing to Manila. Will the company ever stop moving American jobs to Manila and bring them home to the US?

It’s very likely ETC will be outsourced. Everyone there will be outsourced to their homes permanently.
1wmv, which one were you?
When I worked at ETC, I learned that there were 2 sets of people that worked there: useless and worse than useless.
Shell outsourced their Reserves work to India more than ten years ago. I worked with them and it was a complete disaster.
ETC should compete for jobs and charge over $300 hourly rate in an open market. If they can attract work, good, else something is broken. That require fixing sooner than later to be competitive.
All of you need to pipe down before we are all forced to take another 50 worthless D&I trainings. I mean it.
@ogc, Outsourcing to India won’t work. Not because they lack the technical know-how, but because of their horrendous English speaking accent. At the per hour rates ETC will be charging, no client will have the patience trying to understand them speak English. When an ordinary American can communicate everything clearly in less than 3 minutes, the Indian will still be trying to be understood after 30 minutes. I’m not sure about you, but I loath having to call for technical support or a project consultant, because I cringe as soon as I hear a non American voice on the other end.
Manila NO, Outsourced to local contractors YES. Same bang for the buck at great savings!!! Call 1-800-ZERO-ETC. Offer expires on Memorial Day.
Both Exxon and Shell have been outsourcing their subsurface folks to India and it's been cost effective for them. About time Chevron did the same.
@fly, I doubt it, is American a race? Now you are definitely a self-centered bigot, that's certain.
Understood it is about saving money but chevron has it wrong. Older employees built the company. They deserve a retirement instead of being thrown out on the streets. I am getting tired of applying for jobs asking me if I am Hispanic, black, disabled, or a veteran instead of looking at my qualifications
How can outsourcing the ETC jobs to Manila work efficiently? It can’t. The ETC professionals earn their pay by interacting face to face with their Chevron BU clients and project managers. Would Chevron actually save money after having to fly their employees and contractors from Manila to all parts of the world including the United States? Hell noooooo!
The objective is to lay-off the American white male over the age of 50
American jobs? Racist much?
How is that OutSourcing if most of Manila are employees? This has been going on for years. All you have to do is look at job postings to where things were moving. I hope you get to keep your job. I do.
No, the objective is to reduce cost, not to increase cost.
