Anyone heard any news? My LM had said he had seen 10-12% cuts per year over the next few years or so. I've heard the ultimate goal is 50% cost savings by 2030, so I'm sure more offshoring or cuts leaving those left behind with 50% more workload.

Wow. Quite a few internal job postings at woodcreek. Many in HR and commercial. A few in HSSE and Subsea IMR saying they are associated with restructuring? Who has insight on that?

Now, back to the serious business of destroying this company with sh---y social engineering! Get to work, Chr***r!

Anybody hear about the PT Reorg next year?They are holding update meetings in-person and do not have a virtual option. So far I've heard 30% cuts across the org due to no projects in the funnel until at least 2028.

Does anybody know more about this?

Have a dying parent that I’m caring for. FMLA should be used for this but I am worried I’ll be a target when layoffs start again. Am I being paranoid or is this a real thing? US based, 20+ yrs.

When Shell was still Dutch it wasn’t perfect either. People always looked out for their own but the culture was better: less brutal when it came to reorgs, more care for people and a lot more innovation and entrepreneurship instead of just cutting... — read more

any news on layoffs following ARC integration? everyone's salary was "cut" this year in Canada so not sure what else is left for them to do other than layoffs...

I've noticed many folks are taking jobs with competitors and partners, while others are leaving the field altogether. Are they seeing something coming, or have they simply had enough?

No More WFH Monday. Everyone back to the office. Heard it here first

LT is listening ... what a load of Cr@p!

Wael is going to trade Woodcreek away for a satchel of magic beans that can grow wells It all makes sense now. I can already hear the LT clapping.

Knowing a few Shell retires, they talk about the times when the work environment was very collegial. Regular communication from the company about promotions, transfers, retirements, etc. - maybe holiday get-togethers or cookouts at the department... — read more 

I was annoyed when CH emphatically stated that the WCK footprint reduction was not about cutting costs. Yet the very next statement was telling us they overspend. I’m totally okay with LT telling us they need to cut costs. Every decision Shell makes... — read more

No cuts today? It was all done yesterday?

There has to be some big news coming. There is the global town hall to start the week, then most orgs have their discipline or function specific town halls that all mention “building on the global town hall”.

Is it just one big popularity contest or are the talent cards and resumes thoroughly vetted?

The vibe of the townhall seemed like a 3 hr 1970s indie movie were absolutely nothing happens! The usual cry over the ongoing demise of Chemicals business (probably the 10th quarter and still pending). Funny that an organization that keeps talking... — read more
