@mf did you leave idso or shell altogether?
Another ex-Idso here. So happy to have left the Shell (Indian) IT company led by stupid indian leadership managing US, UK and NL staff. In essence, the good Indian IT folks leave India and go abroad and the rest stays with BLR companies like Intel/shell/Chevron etc. Just to party, get free training and sick leaves then leave to the company next door for 1 rupi more.
Tell me I am wrong.
congrats! it’s always hilarious how shell acts like it’s IT wing is a tech company yet they offer none of the benefits of that and all of the drawbacks of a large bloated org with locked down machines that assumes you’re too stupid to be able to handle installing your own executable files
there are also way too many middlemen who are clueless
@dt honestly I’m happy I left Shell this year. I’m now at a company that values technical expertise and promotes in role so you allowed to become a SME and be rewarded for it. A foreign concept at Shell.
precisely correct. and they wonder why they can’t keep an IT organization together and businesses keep going outside of the company to contract out vital work and platforms
new flash - you can’t run every job by only promoting people when they change teams. you need to promote IT and engineering in role or you will get incompetence and turnover. DEI hiring targets are not helping this either.
@c2 bingo. Shell does not value or reward technical expertise. You are not incentivized to become a technical expert since you can’t be promoted in role. Shell just wants a bunch of jack of all trades that aren’t really good at any one thing.
Mr Cockbill stated: “At a lot of oil and gas companies, a geologist is a geologist,” says Cockbill. “They learn and get better, they gain seniority — but the role doesn’t change a whole lot. At Shell, the sky’s the limit in terms of where you want to take your career.” But in Shell we learn switch roles every 2 years and therefore not really a expert in anything.
I sold all my shares a month ago so I don’t have to hope Shell’s DEI commitment is just lip service anymore.
“ Despite much of the industry heading back to five-day weeks in the office post pandemic, Shell has maintained a three-day office schedule for many employees as part of a generous benefits package that gives employees flexibility as they navigate their lives. And even though some other North American companies are pulling back on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives, Shell remains solidly committed to DEI. “
lol. it was zero days in office and then they changed it to 3 very recently. sneaky to leave that out
also a commitment to DEI is a commitment to mediocrity. we have other ways to handle intolerance and education. like HR. we don’t need groups and quotas promoting people to tick boxes off. DEI is nothing more than a power grab designed to let people call you names if you question it. DEI can’t handle any scrutiny and it’s not popular anymore. being proud of hanging onto a sinking ship that people can see for what it is… is stupid.
@OP Time to share the SPS results.
