Most business functions can get a job elsewhere pretty easily with Shell on your resume, even it may not be in O&G. The one that’s getting fk is probably petroleum engineer. Good luck for them trying to get a job with deepwater on their resume
What major is going through re org ?
Chevron doesn’t have a re org
Exxon bought pioneer they are consolidating
BP doesn’t have a re org
Conoco is ki-ling it
I have not heard anything about total
It’s only shell.
Agree with previous post. Every major is going through layoffs now. If you get let go, it will not be easy to find a job with a competitor.
Yall acting like the job market is easy breezy cover girl. It’s slim pickin out there too
Y’all looking at this the wrong way. 30% or whatever the number is are the lucky ones that will be released from their Stockholm syndrome. Play the odds, don’t even post for your current job. Post for your TL’s job or some other promotion. Worst case scenario you get a reasonable buyout and have until end of march to line something up. Second worst case, you get your boss’s job and have to stick around, but hey at least it comes with a raise.
Force their hand. Look at your current team’s workload. Look at the number of remaining boxes on your team. Then ask yourself what that load looks like split among you all. Then ask what it looks like if any one or two of you want to take a vacation. Then ask if the juice is still worth the squeeze.
Anyone else hearing rumors of adjusting pay tiers and moving Tier 3 jobs down to Tier 1/standard?
We are just more used to the layoff that comes every other year at Shell comparing to Chevron lol There’s nothing new about it and most of us can see the benefits one way or the other.
People who survive another round of layoff get to do the cozy jobs that add no value for a couple more years vs people who are let go can actually build a career that is not make up.
Our board seems not as active as Chevron, which is also going through reorg or layoff currently. So maybe people
Working at Shell don’t care enough to discuss here?
When decisions are made based on talent cards alone, without interviews, cover letters, or face-to-face meetings with hiring managers, it’s hard to imagine backstabbing getting anyone ahead. At this point, a last-ditch effort to tear someone down won’t erase years of how people are already seen. If anything, it’ll just reinforce what everyone already thinks. Good luck to all, lots of inefficiencies, and slackers, will hopefully be let out the door.
“No preferred candidate” means the job is open to anyone at Shell to apply and the leadership does not have a specific person in mind to place in that role. This type of situation brings out the worst behavior in people. Everyone will be fighting for a limited number of jobs. They will try to “prove” that they are the right person to hire and will “back stab”, manipulate and do anything to get one of those jobs. This ki-ls corporate culture.
@vbv+1u9GBZ6Q what do u mean by "no prefered candidate"
It’s going to be a dark weekend for too many great people.
Is this upstream ?
~2200 boxes under Ivan in that org chart
~ 1700 roles to be posted under Ivan
~75% roles to be filled..."no preferred candidates"...
Looks like 30% for senior explorers in the uk
