Does anyone has more information about the HCL moving the roles from Moncton to Guatemala in 18 months? I'm not surprised they will move the roles where is cheaper and definitely CAD is more expensive than Guatemalan quetzals.
@@Euow+1asxunoI I mean Chemicals in Moncton.
@Cveu+1asxunoI chemicals in Canada? Do you mean at sarnia? I know about dissolving ESC but this is new. Unless you meant Moncton still - my apologies if so.
Chemicals will be shutting down soon. It is funny because the severance packaged will be offered just for a few people. The gratitude payment is different for everyone (managers are making more money). EM is paying how much they want. Also, they will provide ROE with code will be K (others) instead of A (Layoff). I'm not sure if people will be eligible to EI.
A few opportunities has been offering to people to go different places such as Nova Scotia, Alberta etc.
Hope everyone can find a job soon.
Just another example of how just about anything XOM does could be done better by someone else, and they could do it cheaper while making a profit. As an aside, the Canadian leadership team are so busy doing business with themselves it is a miracle anything gets done.
HCL TECHNOLOGIES ANNOUNCES EXPANSION IN CANADA WITH A GLOBAL DELIVERY CENTER IN MONCTON, NEW BRUNSWICK
PUBLISHED DATE: Dec 24, 2019

Noida, India, and Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada, Dec 24, 2019 -- HCL Technologies (HCL), a leading global technology firm, has announced the opening of a Global Delivery Center (GDC) in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada. The GDC will focus on technology areas in application development, support, testing, and servicing global clients.
HCL will draw on its 10-year track record of success in Canada to assist tech companies as they continue to grow in the digital age. With its first office opening in Toronto in 2009, HCL partnered with one of Canada’s largest railway companies. From there, HCL has worked with Fortune 500 and G2000 Canadian customers to develop frameworks, technologies, and processes that will help businesses succeed through phases of growth and transformation.
HCL has partnered with Opportunities New Brunswick (ONB) in the planning and development of this growth. Opportunities New Brunswick provided guidance and resources for the GDC and future employees. Staffing will include a combination of relocating skilled workers and local hiring. The company anticipates the number of employees to grow to 300 over the next three years.
“This is a win-win for New Brunswick,” said Mary Wilson, Minister of Economic Development and Small Business and Minister responsible for Opportunities New Brunswick. “Population growth and economic development depend on each other. We need new jobs and new people to prosper and grow. HCL is bringing skilled newcomers and creating jobs for our New Brunswick-based graduates, both of which will help to strengthen our workforce and energize the private sector. Our Province welcomes HCL, their incredible team, and this exciting new growth.”
“The launch of this Global Delivery Center champions our next decade of growth in Canada and the region,” said Jagadeshwar Gattu, Corporate Vice President - Infrastructure Delivery, Americas at HCL “The area is a key one for HCL, and we have been extremely fortunate to have partners such as Opportunities New Brunswick; the Province of New Brunswick’s Department of Post-Secondary Education, Training, and Labour (PETL); the Moncton Multicultural Association; and the City of Moncton to help manage this growth. We look forward to many more years of success.”
The expansion supports objectives set out in New Brunswick’s Population Growth Strategy, an economic and population growth plan that requires the collective efforts of the federal, provincial and municipal governments.
“We are taking a coordinated approach with our partners across government, including the City of Moncton and the Moncton Multicultural Association and local developers, to ensure a smooth transition for the company, their employees, and the larger community,” said Ernie Steeves, Minister of Finance, on behalf of Trevor Holder, Minister of Post-Secondary Education, Training and Labour. “We are also working with onboarding experts to ensure that the needs of the community are communicated at each step.”
In support of this expansion, HCL is eligible for an investment of up to $6.26 million from Opportunities NB, a Crown corporation that seeks to attract and support opportunities to grow the economy and create jobs. The assistance will be delivered in the form of a payroll rebate, forgivable loan, and non-repayable contributions.

The GBC is Exxonmobil Business Service Center Canada (EMBSCC). Yet another ExxonMobil failed venture.
Major layoffs coming for Canada. The economics aren’t favorable for oil and gas and the government isn’t friendly to o&g, they think the future is tourism. I got word of layoffs from a good supervisor a few months ago and decided to go to another industry that is growing and one that values my skills where XOM didn’t. Much happier now and a better sense of job security. I recommend it to anyone.

10–15 years ago, the New Brunswick BSCs was the pride of Canada Leadership, with multiple expansions.
It is sad to see how it turned out. Guess people are dispensible, and hiring for the long term is no more....
So New Brunswick takes the biggest lick. Old news.
What's happening at the rodeo?
To add to the previous post, the Moncton GBC will be down to approx. 200 Chemicals employees after F&L is outsourced on Aug. 1st.
What about the RPO folks in Moncton? That’s the rail logistics group that is in Chemicals GSC.
The entire F&L (GBC) in Moncton are gone on July 31st. The company called HCL from India is taking over OTC roles. We don't know how many roles are open for us or who will be offered a job by HCL.
About 400 jobs moving to a 3rd party
Just that E&PS can expect 8%–10% cuts.. maybe you’ll be okay since you were hit so hard with the formal round of layoffs?
That entire failed endeavor should be shut down.
