Shell Explores Cheap Labor Overseas
Royal Dutch Shell has activated a program to cut its overhead cost by transferring jobs hitherto executed in America and Europe to Asian countries where population explosion has made middle and high level manpower easily affordable.
The new measure is feared to be part of the mass sack of staff declared by the company to raise the company’s income profile by cutting cost.
The company had publicly announced it would slash 5,000 jobs by year end–including “hundreds” in Houston–as part of a sweeping reorganization.
New CEO Peter Voser said the strategy is needed to make the company more competitive.
But under a separate program, the European oil giant has been quietly transferring additional office jobs from Houston and elsewhere to India and the Philippines to reduce costs.
According to internal Shell documents obtained by the Chronicle and a person familiar with the plan the “migration” programs affect employees in finance and other support functions, which are being consolidated in what the oil company calls “shared service centers” in low-cost countries to fit the new company structure.

If Shell is doing this then Americans need to simply avoid buying Shell gasoline. I need not add so much as a dime to their profits and their exploitation of this nation as nothing more than a market cow while using technology to outsource jobs to third world peoples. Corporations that exist as global leviathans are assisting in the death of the West as they make a short term myopic profit using host nations as mere Earth Dirt from which to play.
Here in Houston you can see the Hugo Chavez’s CITGO gas stations void of cars filling up. Sending the Dutch a message that SHELL is one S letter away from seeing it’s market place in Hades is a very viable option. Now on to disseminate this news through the technological means that are now readily available.
