I work in downstream, was given a date for severance in april due to reorg. Managers said I could post out internally but if I’m not selected. I will receive my severance. I was out on fmla leave last week, then I get the news today. I was escorted out. Is it normal to have gcc, phone, laptop, GI card and facility access taken? How would I be able to apply internally? Or was it a way of saying you’re fired? I have a lot of people depending on me. Just looking for help. 36 year old. Been with shell 7 years going on 8, not no more it looks like. Lol

Depends. You a Texan, an outlier, a foreigner, or from one of them shithole countries?
@eg why are you still here then?
What group in DS? Like someone said; if it’s a safety sensitive position that may be the reason.
It appears you are probably on the way out. Take the 24 weeks and look for a company with good leadership and a solid future. YL will continue to be a ruthless leader and will continue to reduce the size of the organization until it’s a pale shadow of its former glory. I left last year and it was the best career move I could have made.
@a8 U.S.
@bf it was considered a safety sensitive position.
I am sorry that you are let go that way. I heard in other companies people who work on confidential projects are usually treated that way to prevent leakage of confidential information. I hope HR can still issue a recommendation that your role was impacted due to restructuring. Wish you all the best with your next step!
@OP This is not a normal last-day departure. This is a firing. Maybe don't post it here, but you did something or they found something.
Why would this post attract 6 (for now) down votes?
Someone reaching out for a bit of guidance and thought and this is the reaction they get, including one pitiful snarky reply?
Hope the down voters are soon looking for their own reemployment opportunities.
Hr will send you internal postings now
It’s not normal to be escorted out, it’s normal to come in on your last day and hand these things in. All of the dates etc would have been shared with you in writing etc around dates. Which country was this
you done
