Thread regarding Chevron Corp. layoffs

Engine

Looks like our replacements are being hired in India.

Who will train them? Not me

Some tips I will follow - Question value of doing this venture at all town halls , escalate any small failure to your management. Amplify their failures, take credit for any of their good work, say it’s because of your training. Question the leadership team of India. Don’t give work. Give meaningless work, create this database for me, get this plot for me, edit this document, etc. or Give work you know they can’t do (hard to access data, need integration). Put meeting at their midnights. Don’t sacrifice your evenings/nights. Remember Indians get paid extra for non-core hours, you don’t. If you work a night, take next day off telling your boss you worked whole night training your bengaluru employee. Do NOT - Never - sponsor their visit to Houston. Say it defeats the purpose of cheap. Never forget to keep telling your bengaluru contractor (don’t treat them like employee), that they are cheap and that’s only reason Chevron went to India - because they are cheap. Always keep saying low cost = low quality. Put meetings only in late afternoons. If evening, put at their 6:00-7:00 AM, we wake up early - so can they. Give them work on their national holidays. In short - make sure it fails

If you think CVX management cares about anything but their bottom line you’ve already lost. They could care less if it fails, they only care about the cost savings. Of course there will issues in the short term they expect that. Don’t waste your energy fighting it, in the end you’ll still get laid off.

Yeah, Im not got to take it out on individuals. It's a bit premature to act like this, it's also likely to backfire.

Just a reminder that people in India trying to make a living are not the enemy. The C-suite and upper management are the ones who’ve led us here.

For everyone who thinks this is wrong and indespicable, how many slaps on your face would it take for you to say "stop"? (This is a hyperbolic metaphor)

The switch that got flipped from everyone here posting “those blasted zoomers who want WFH are lazy do nothings , get back in the office and work!” to “everyone stop doing your work, rebel against any engine request, run out the clock until they fire you” is absolutely hilarious.
