@17f yep I was told to expect their knowledge to be that of a G grade engineer so I would have to do a bunch of hand holding and training. It was a waste of time honestly.

@15s

TAO = technical asset operations or support - chennai, manila, kuala lumpur, bangalore I think. "Efficient" support, cheap labor.

"Efficient" bc my experience has been it takes them 2x to 5x longer to do something ... after asking you how to do it

@cw bingo. The attrition rate is below what they want so conditions will continue to deteriorate.

Shell HR uses Tier 3 scale to benchmark externally but uses Tier 1/standard scale to pay 80% of the US staff.

@ce either attrition increases or more layoffs, so expect working/pay conditions to get worse to increase attrition. Rip coffee

This is all hypothetical

The dark arts of benchmarking can be used to justify absolutely anything.

Canada leadership wants people to quit especially in Calgary. No big payouts for layoffs.

Now we will also benchmark outside oil and gas in Canada so we can say we still pay top quartile when they benchmark against lower paying industries….

@OP In Canada, supposedly we get paid well above the average. But who they benchmark against is never revealed.
