Positive spin was put on the message to Chemical business employees in Moncton yesterday flavoured with reassurances of job security. That comes off as too specific and only possible to communicate so specifically if it had been a plan for that date but was reversed.(maybe because as the manager stated the F&L transition to HCL has been a “disaster”?). Non-answer to bold follow up question on if there are plans for 2022?

You must be a fool to think that HCL will keep the jobs in Moncton. Obviously they've committed to do so for a while but it's not sustainable and those positions will surely be moved overtime to their cheaper sites in Panama or whatever central American country they are in.
Moving work to an MSP/HCL is a bad choice for XOM. I see the quality of work provided by this outsourcing and it is atrocious.
Shoot, even getting a password unlocked/reset takes up half a day for my peers that don't know how to do it.
I have seen at least 50% quit HCL and these were contractors that worked for EM that transitioned to HCL.
Then when HCL needs replacements for jobs in the states, noone will work for the salary they offer.
Seems normal to me.
Wasn’t it like nearly 500 people, in a couple months your saying 200+ quit?
I wouldn’t want to work for HCL either but is that number right seems way higher then I’d expect this quick?
Yes it's been a disaster... I assume all of us were hired by EM with promise of a great career in the then Fortune #1. Let me ask the hundreds of colleagues here, does anyone here wants to work for HCL? No? Oh what a surprise... neither do the ex F&L folks who transitioned.
And the transition was without any retrenchment package, unlike the GREF transition to CBRE where everyone got a big package.
What are the senior management thinking of when they though transition to MSP was a great idea? I mean, seriously, who'd have expected the EM hires to not want to stay with HCL
Staff were retained and transited to HCL. After the transition to HCL, attrition is 50%, there's no strong handovers and things are f up now
What’s the issues with F&L transition, didn’t it retain most staff so same people executing the processes?
For chemicals if it’s an inevitability the company wouldn’t tell them in advance to not impact the workforce leaving.
