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”.

@16c they are many
That’s so true operations group in stch is ring fence. Everyone in the group is safe Shell employees and contractors.
@xx that’s not the case with some of the folks I know who were impacted. Maybe it varies across orgs
@12b big waste of time.
@OP anyone excited for the downstream townhall tomorrow morning?
if they offered 2 weeks of pay a year severance like they did in 2020 then we would have 30% attrition overnight
Reorg or not found out that She’ll is not giving out severance packages the word on the street is shell will save money and people can leave with out a package.
@sw watjammer the bold spearhead on DEI eunuchs was not successful because the computational team was not many enough.
Didn't they announce a new Eunch's technology system to go along with DEI initiatives?
@cv stop with the BP merger balogna. It will never happen.
@fv Phil Watts donned the space suit for a meeting letter category and above. We never saw anything half as entertaining.
useful information is not shared in town halls. it’s in emails or direct from you line manager. you should know this.
town halls are propaganda meetings designed to humanize the leadership team
a cluster of them simply means that they feel the need to control the narrative
@fk when Phil Watts returned from outer space still in his astronaut gear.
When has useful information ever been shared in a town hall?
@bw Ah, redundancy.
Merger with BP
@bm sound a bit like the argument for diversity being our strength.
Ultimate result of these endless culling, downsizing exercises - one guy in Europe looking in the mirror saying empathetically “I’m sorry but we’re going to have to let you go.”
I for one welcome the 50% reductions .. half the people means half the number of bad ideas, half the number of reorgs. Given its every year , we could double the stable times to 2 whole years… just imagine it. Oh and it’d make it way easier to restack into half the buildings.
@aa
Change is constant. Therefore, to remain constant, we must constantly change the changing constant while ensuring that all changes remain consistent with our commitment to constant change.
Don’t expect any news nothing is changing.
@a1 what about Reliance merger?
This may be the updates we were supposed to hear from corporate functions regarding their plans to meet Wael’s 50% budget reduction targets by 2030. I imagine anything that came from P&T will be discussing reorg plans, not sure about the rest.
We may finally hear about the computational team. I heard that shell and BP will merge their computational teams as a merger pilot.
