Does it make any sense at the moment? With the announced layoffs I've read about in M&A and other groups, do you expect a hiring freeze across other departments. I've seen job postings, but had no traction with apps, even with the introductory HR... — read more 

finally. Giving the many missteps and poorly time decisions they have done along with strategy in the last few decades it is about time to clean house on this one ......

I think I’ve had mild food poisoning from eating in the cafeteria at least a dozen times this past year. “Fool me once” and all that.

I continue to be impressed by Wael Sawan's approach as CEO. His unapologetic focus on profitability over the past year has been very welcome. An intentional shift away from questionable "green energy" strategies such as retail power in Europe/UK... — read more 

Looks like Jesse Stanley got squeezed out.

When where and how many

What is everyone's thoughts on his Townhall a few weeks back!? I found it invigorating. I missed it in person but watched it today instead of going to the Shell USA one. ..I actually enjoyed it.

With consultants in the mix, I can only expect “right-sizing”, “efficiency drive”, or whatever is the fancy term these days for good old “getting a boot”.

Let’s see what happens…

10 people cut from our department today. Anyone else? Formal announcement this week. I assume tied in with Wael all hands meeting on Wednesday…

Shell decided to close the Pittsburg plate with a tentative closing date of Dec 31 2024.

For those impacted, will the severance be 1 week per year as stated in the SPD or will it be the 3 weeks they have been giving the past few layoffs?

If I take the severance, can I ever be re-hired by Shell? Seeing some alarming reddit posts that say I cannot.

I see worked over 50 treated not so great. do you see this too?

Looked at the insurance benefit in NB today and it looks like the coverage as a multiple of annual base salary has been updated. What are you all seeing in terms of an increase from last year? 8% here, JG4, close to 100% PIR

How is this impacting Singapore? Will firing starts even before sale.

I have seen that LCS, Chemical and Products Commercial, Corporate Relations and Legal have been affected. Anybody else? Do we know how many people? What's the situation with severance? When will this end?

I understand all the corporate communications are meant to pull/fool investors but it really does not add value to Shell staff if Wael stays with his performance, discipline and simplification spiel. Anyone in Shell is competent to do this and are... — read more

Any news on the SPDC Sale to Renaissance…lay-offs imminent?

Just surprised how quiet this board has been considering the number of layoffs in the pipeline (No pun intended). I know Chemicals US have new org charts out already but still nobody is posting. Jiffy Lube is in the middle of a reorg but nobody is... — read more 

What is the anticipated pay raise this year?

Maybe this will help slow any potential layoffs in the next few years. Thoughts?

There is a rumor that with the upcoming staff cuts the typical 3 weeks per yr of service wont be offered and only the legal minimum would be.. Also no volunteers either, they will tell you that you have been cut... Very different from past reorgs... — read more 

I think it can't be more clearer than this. P&T org wide restructuring is evident. Has anyone watched Robin's talk in P&T leadership forum? I am afraid how SEAM gets affected.

No sh-t sherlock. You can get rid of 90% of strategy and new business development given the horrible deals and non-decisions in the past ......

Anyone outside of North America, get the news letter from Machteld stating layoffs are coming. Maybe not "an organization-wide restructuring". Just different assets, and teams.
