A well written piece by Mr. Clanton! As I have been absent from posting lately I thought I would pipe up with my take on some of this recent development.

In Mr. Clanton’s article he touches on Shell’s intention of migrating more of the Finance and IT functions overseas. I will take this news and run with it a bit further. A shell spokesperson is quoted in a Beaumont Enterprise article of saying “Shell has 21,000 employees in the United States.”. So if I use my good ole East Texas math, that says that Shell is going to “Migrate” 25% of its US jobs to cheap third world countries. Sure makes you wonder what Shell Oil intends to do in the US doesn’t it. This action speaks volumes of how Shell supports the communities that it operates in.
