We don’t all work in Houston
I’m on the EMIT side and have been around a while. Employees all seem to be sending this message up to their managers, but on aggregate, they struggle to tell the story of exactly what value is being lost by not having the people or money to do the work. Until significant real dollars are shown to be lost, do not expect any change.

Less with less.
@OP They know and they don’t care. It’s not just EM. Every O&G company is doing the same thing.
The plan industry-wide is to reduce the workforce through layoffs and attrition, automate as many processes as possible, and to outsource/offshore whatever can’t be automated. All of this is being done as a substitute for growth so as to inflate share prices (and therefore executive compensation packages).
My advice to everyone who doesn’t want to deal with this is to up-skill and change industries. It’s only going to get worse in O&G.
