So cutting the rest of the Marathon holdovers + an extra 5% of low hanging fruit.

Par for the course.

Fort Bend County Assessment district: property values are up to the state max of 10% this year. Again.

Expect a lot of damage in IT, H1Bs to the rescue.

Doesn’t make up for 20% of an oil company. And while I don’t care for meetings with HR, some of those folks are actually put in place to make sure you don’t get sued during job interviews, PIPs, firings, etc.

DEI…yeah…throw it all out. But there’s still going to be layoffs of engineers, land, regulatory, tech and such.

The fact that in an “at will” state I can’t look at any employee and say “I no longer have the will to employ you, you’re fired” is complete bull shite.

At will should mean just that. At. Will.

AI and overseas tech/eng positions to India. All the majors are chopping heads hard. There will be more Indians in India, working for US oil companies than Americans in America in the next 2-3yrs.

This.
I know Shell always had a lot of positions working out of the Philipeans, but in the last 5-7 years they have moved a bunch more positions to there, Poland, and India.

Up the royalty rate, local content laws and/or eliminate deduction for foreign spend.

Access to American resources only if it benefits Americans.

They are in the clear now to cut their cost (laying off those overpaid Americans), with top cover.

I'm sure your job is safe though.....

Seattle has subtly been going through high tech layoffs lately. Not huge numbers, just a hundred/several hundred at a time.

We're in a period where corporate jobs will be declining, not growing. MOst of humanity will be gig workers in 30 years.

yea the Trump admin has been known to tell these companies to ship jobs overseas. they havent done anything to bring jobs back or try and stop this kind of stuff at all huh?

you sound like a complete dumbass with TDS, you realize that right? Plenty of things to not like the admin for without having to just making stuff up and straight up lying
