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 .....
When did the managers stop managing?
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
Special severance for near retirement employees?
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
Quitting now is pure idiocy
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
Why do they protect the lousy middle management?

More than the minimum flair
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
People who are leaving
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?
Shell Chemicals DPK
Any idea if Shell plans on keeping Deer Park chemicals in their portfolio?
Hey Ben ? How did that exit from US onshore working out for you ?

Mid Year Raise Probability?

Talent is less and less important
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

Attrition
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

Does anyone actually make 100% PIR?
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

How often do managers at Shell get contacted by employees outside of their group asking about opportunities/joining?
I work in Shell IT (one of the dozens of silos). One thing they keep saying at the townhalls is that if you are interested in an area you should reach out to the manager or team lead who is working in that team. How often do you managers and team... — read more

People are too quick to leave these days
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

I don't want RTO
I don't see the need to return to the office after two years of productive work from home. People are talking about looking for other options if Shell starts pushing the idea of RTO further. Still, I wouldn’t look for another job just because of... — read more
