Yes. Goal is to survive another few years to retirement age and/or get a package to leave during next reorg. I will continue to perform and earn my pay.
@dv I don’t think they will wait until July to prepare for the cuts. It’s been cooking already for the P&T.
@dq long and short answers……absolutely.
the merging into the businesses in July. you should know this.
the “lift and shift” as they call it.
where we will be lifted and shifted into business who may or may not need us later. which will of course prefer their own legacy people after budgets tighten again so wael can buy back more stock.
and where we will lose our above average job grade brackets when we are forcibly changed to business roles with lower brackets

Dire circumstances create opportunities for true leaders to emerge and meet the challenges. But examples of meeting challenges are not another stock buy-back or desperation divestment.
I will be dead and in he-l. I need the break from Shell.
@a8 famous last words
Yes. I pump gas there. We are upgrading pumps to allow more cars to pump at the.same time
No, sick and tired of reorgs and unfair performance culture.
I will stick around one more year for full vestment. My stress levels are not good because of the increased demands, workloads and ruthless culture.
This is my 20th year with the company. I surely hope so.
100%
Definitely not. Probably able to hold on for another 6 months.
