Many people outside the oil industry believe oil prices will decline rapidly once the Strait reopens and remain low in the coming years. However, the CEO of global oil giant Shell (NYSE:SHEL) has a different view. He expects oil prices to continue... — read more 

If I come out of the closet, can I get my name and photo on congratulatory flyers that are posted all over Woodcreek? Will I get a spot bonus for my bravery? Will my manager praise me for helping her meet her goals?

Norco re-org on the way after $500mm in potential value found by McKinsey. So much for "we can't cut and cope our way to profitability..."

I know there should be no surprise with the price of oil dropping, but Shell stock is tanking. I thought the company would have been doing better after all of the massive layoffs, divestments and stock buy backs. Have they gone too far?

It’s looking competitive for Woodside as its assets are perfectly aligned with Shell

Looks like the DTO LT has been recently informed of the layoffs planned for later part of the year. The DTO LT themselves are in danger as there will be multiple mergers and hence job losses at LC and higher JG levels! Not complaining as I clearly... — read more 

Been a long run. Thanks for the memories

Join the BP Layoff for daily updates on the Train Wreck known as BP

And everything reflects it. The group is not open to new ideas, or new tech or new methods. And we are supposed to be a "cutting edge" IT group. We have projects that started a decade ago that cant move forward because we have not done our "due... — read more 

Is this mainly focused on the groups in the “corporate functions” overhead org or all of the embedded functions in the businesses as well? Been hearing the overhead groups already found out last week or week prior not sure about the others.

If you think Shell is messed up…it’s actually a fine running Swiss watch. Enjoy what a near peer is going through…Any time you hear energy transition and BP beyond petroleum…

Did your compensation range go up or down? Which skillpool family and JG are you in? Wells skillpool went up however salary stays the same. Did they realize we were underpaid and only moved the ranges as an optic? If we were truly not competitive... — read more 

It’s that time again when we forecast and alter the future… Will Shell acquire or consolidate with bp? Is Shell waiting for the Deepwater Horizon payments to become manageable?

LinkedIn named Shell the best place to work in Houston! Congratulations Shell! I wonder how .... just how they could have concluded that!!! Has anyone ever filled out a survey for this? Does anyone know the metrics? Amazing news, but I don't... — read more 

👀🚐 Tan said great job, crushed it, I just need less of you and I want you in a hub. Though he was in The Hague he said Hague ain’t hub. Did I catch that correctly?

I'll be eligible to retire in early 2027 and Finance is in the early stages of a reorg. I have 20 years with Shell and am age 50+, so my pension will likely be bridged if I get let go before I hit my early retirement numbers. Should I unofficially... — read more 

All this AI push to make Shell better is just lip service by so-called leaders wanting to save money with reduced headcount. Before long, there won’t be any employees to buy their products. It’s laughable that YL and his merry bunch of “leaders”... — read more 

Anyone know if the fire at Shell Norco is going to affect our bonus?

Shell bought an actual company instead of shares for cancellation. It looks like they're supporting LNG export... Does that mean that the Montney assets are not as good as we were led to believe? Even if it isn't the best deal I applaud the effort

I noticed several people are shown open to work at LinkedIn.

A coworker did about two years ago. Packed his entire family and all, just to be laid off within six months. Trusting this place will have your back because you uprooted your life for them is id--tic.

Hearing credible rumors from multiple sources this week that YL has set a target for functional cost to be cut 50% by 2030 from 2026 levels. Meaning all current reorgs are only a stepping stone cost cutting measure to be followed up in 2028/2029 with... — read more 

What triggers and when will Shell nominate a new CEO? An oil industry CEO is typically fired when they fail to balance the "iron triangle" of shareholder returns, operational discipline, and strategic pivots. Common Triggers for Dismissal: Capital... — read more 

WL wants 10B by 2028 3B to come from Upstream 1B from GOA Upstream ...any guesses where he'll put this money?

Are all the chemicals sites offering SVS or just US sites? Only heard of Geismar. Not sure about the others.

buy low when u can folks

Shell announced it will sell Jffy Lube to PE for $1.3 billion. Short term gain for long term loss. What happens in 15-20 years when the Pennzoil supply agreement ends? What then?

Unreal so sad the site is in disarray and big management couldn’t care less.

As the title says, I never thought that SHEL would sell above $90.00/share. I guess that the rising tide raised all the ships, even the sinking ones( BP and Shel have risen just about as much over the last 6-months). There is a saying for stocks... — read more 

I heard a rumor that Shell will announce a spin off of chemicals after first quarter results if they are “good enough” (whatever that means) and will fire the leadership team if results are below that threshold. Any confirmation? Other rumors?

Anyone knows latest on Dow’s restructuring 2026? This will surely impact Houston job market and those impacted by Shell’s own restructuring.

Mark my words.

Does anyone see any positives or negatives for Shell (besides $100/b oil) with all of the chaos in the ME region?

Is there anyone who thinks the project Starbust for chemicals can go well? I hear they are planning large staff cuts on top of the voluntary severance going on now, and the new org will be based on agile working methodology. Who thinks that’s a... — read more 

Got severance last November and still haven’t got prorated bonus payment. Got the severance payment within 4 weeks. Has this happened before? Everyone I asked got the bonus payout. How to ask why, when and to whom? Thanks.

Two questions about severance, US based. Assume your current position is being eliminated and you would be normally eligible for a special severance. 1) If you apply for a job, realize you do not want it and get an offer, do you forfeit... — read more
