Any Shell comment ? Surely good reason to reiterate support for employee rights on reproductive care and explore plans to move out of the state of Texas in the long run . Not an OIl and Gas company anyways anymore .....

Lately it’s like the managers are just too occupied with their own ambitions and plans for further promotion that they don’t do the very thing that they are paid to do, manage. That behavior was always present to some degree but lately it has become... —  read more 

Anyone hear of a situation, lately, where severance was offered for employees nearing retirement. I'm talking about those cases where an employee has been employed for 30+ years? I guess you could just wait for the next package that may be around... —  read more 

A lot of people are choosing to quit but doing that now is pure idiocy, in my opinion. First of all, O&G is doing great. You should never leave a winning team. Second of all, the compensation here is still better than at plenty of competition. And... —  read more 

Especially the ones that don’t produce any results and ahe no clear function. Who benefits from them staying but themselves. Why so much protection?

Why is Shell not in Guyana ?

VP has too little to keep him busy. Told me that others are decorating their cubes with personal items, pictures, stickers, why not me? Seems very focused on SPS. Wants to see smiles and flair and personal photos on Yammer. What the fu-k did I get... —  read more 

I wonder how many of the people who leave Shell go to other companies in the industry, and how many of them actually leave O&G industry altogether. What do you think?

Any idea if Shell plans on keeping Deer Park chemicals in their portfolio?

Lol. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot every time. Surprised he has any feet left .....

What are y’all’s thoughts? It was being “discussed,” which I take was just misdirection to keep people clinging to false hope.

Buying Helix Energy? Why?

With commodity prices, labor shortages, etc. the rumors are strong in corporate that there will be no SVS in the next year or two. Just when I was ready too. Should have taken the last one offered since it may be awhile before the next one. ... —  read more

I’m not saying there aren’t many talented employees here still or that Shell has become a mediocrity company. It just seems to me that everything is slowly moving towards that and I really wouldn’t like that to happen. How much will the talent and ... —  read more 

I don't know about you but Safety Day is becoming a joke.

Better, worse, or not that different where you sit?

In the movie "the recruit", Colin Farrell's father works for shell and is CIA!

I hope those who were quick to leave are regretting it now that the results are out. Shell is doing great and it'll continue to do great. You go chase after the mythical better jobs where you'll be treated with respect and as a part of a family. I'm... —  read more

Anecdotally, it seems like quite a few staff in my LOB have voluntarily left over the past couple months (i.e. not just after the bonus). Yet whenever the idea of attrition is brought up the line, leadership denies there is any problem. Anybody else... —  read more

When I first started working here, my colleagues at the time were all very ambitious and almost everyone aspired to get promoted. Now I know a lot of people, very capable, who agree to stay here for more than five years without promotion. Why? My... —  read more 

I always see the numbers floated out there for 100% PIR, and that hypothetically one can make 120% PIR of their JG…. but does anyone ever actually make that much? If so, how long did it take you to get to 100%? I know folks that have been in their... —  read more

What does shell offer to the younger generation that is getting into the oil and gas venture? Is it worth it?

Very few think long term. The company that you're leaving Shell for because it claims it offers permanent RTO might reconsider at any point in the future. They also can decide to offshore their remote jobs at some point, because why not? If they can... —  read more
