Any news on the UK salary program? Will the beatings (low salary increases and quiet layoffs) continue until morale improves or have EM lost too many people now? I don’t know many people who aren’t actively looking for other jobs

@4fkz+1jLV6u60 In the UK at least, there is a tax grab higher on electricity generation than O&G production. The lobbying did a fantastic job! Emissions are not important anymore.
All of Europe's pay raises are going to the tax bill. The government is backwards over there. They mismanaged their energy policies and are going after fossil fuels. Look at the profits your wind farms are making (pricing is set by natural gas). I guess we'll ignore those profits because it goes against the woke agenda.
@4eom+1jLV6u60 That's more than what we've had for the last few years 😁. Happy days!
You will receive fish and chips… and one extra tea time in the afternoon. You will also have a chance to kiss the site mgrs ring as it is a miracle you landed this gravy train of a job. And when I say “ring” I’m speaking of the one that is in the center of the site mgrs bu-t.
Grim future for UK office it appears.
@1quj+1jLV6u60, the decision to convert Altona to an import terminal was taken well above the refinery manager (who's now at Fawley). If a similar decision were made for Fawley (which I doubt) he would just be the implementer.
BTW the NDG refinery manager (another Italian) in France is the same who was the manager at the Augusta refinery in Sicily, when it was sold to Algeria's Sonatrach. Same as for Altona : he didn't make the decision and just managed the handover during the transition period.
Fawley to fall next - Same Manager that shut Altona - Australia.
To be known after Nov 29th
I am expecting the middle finger of pay increases to be doled out to all but O+D, O and maybe E. the rest of us can leave or retire.
The US and Belgium are where the real cost issue lies. US T3 well ranked admittedly making more than most EU T2…… not sustainable.
MPTs no longer provide any value to the UK. What’s a degree or a masters when you can promote experience… and pay low
What about the strike expected from 21 Nov at the Fawley refinery?
I think they still want a decent chunk of you to leave please. Awards expected to be set to drive that decision by you. Top 20% will do fine no doubt, rest of you will get low rises to encourage you to leave.
