They have let me go after many years of loyal service, so now I want to tell you what is coming, because I have nothing to lose. Wael wants the company to have at most 60,000 employees. He told the senior leaders to pass down that this year, lower... — read more 

Based on my understanding, there are five performance ratings, but it seems that “Strong” is the default for most employees, regardless of effort. Is it truly possible to achieve an “Outstanding” or “Higher” rating based solely on performance, or do... — read more

Just like the other American thread (which I agree with), jobs in the UK should be for us. Too many Europeans and Asians taking our jobs

Before Shell can layoff Citizens, they should first remove foreigners in visa. We cannot have willing Americans be available and not given the opportunity. If you are laid off, ask for data on this, not just the Bull Cr-p Age based information they... — read more
