Are you saying it’s a bad thing that the entire safety relief valve group works out of Malaysia now?

The President of Refining and Supply used to send all of his refinery managers next years metrics at the annual refining conference. He would routinely tell all worldwide refinery managers that if they could not meet the metrics they received for next year, he would have them replaced by someone that could meet the metrics.

Bottom line, your career is determined by metrics that are sometimes not in your control.

Nothing is broken, everything is working just fine. You overestimate your importance. You are just a leach, a parasite. Nothing breaks when you leave the company.

Its better to have inefficiency of iterations with BTC than paying lazy old employees in EMHC ten times the salary — YOU are the problem, not the Indians.

The executives are all scared that if they don’t get on the move everything to India train, they will be removed with someone who will.

Once the world breaks it is going to be very hard and painful to fix it. I fear for the future that is being created by today’s lack of leadership. Decisions being made by people who have no clue what it actually takes to make the world run.

We have totally lost our engineering capability with the transition to India. The BTC is a concept that is flawed

  • Engineers should be close to the asset
  • High levels of attrition

One of the learnings from Longford was moving engineering away from the asset was a big mistake. This will happen again; don’t know where; don’t know when but it will happen with DW compete to win focus

This is true, I don't see anything more than basic ability inside and outside EM

I have no idea how the numbers are rigged to support the assertion of increased competitiveness.
