More details on the Shell's global organizational changes. I love it how they keep finding new and inventive ways to say we'll be laying off a bunch of you without actually putting the word layoff in there.

There's no respect now get back to work
Can't believe the extent of the leaks. This just doesn't seem right. Is nothing private anymore? Where is the respect?
At this point, many OSS fte and contractors have an exit strategy, plans B, C, D and a force majeure plan, remember they got through Hurricanes Katrina and Rita 12 years ago on top of downturns. Good luck to all.
The rumors of New Orleans moving to Houston are starting to surface, after the layoffs in New Orleans and people being let go in Houston; a consolation seems likely. The leave from New Orleans will save a substantial amount of office/real estate costs.
Looks like it's not just oil service companies who f--- their employees.
Stop moaning and get back to work or you go down 2 grades. Chop chop
What I know: Cuts at or about the VP level are deep (40+%?). The org charts look crazy. Most but not all jobs in P&T (U.S. and AMS) are changing so employees will have to post for them again. After we post, we get to know our status Christmas week and will leave end of Feb with the usual "special severance" if we lose. Posting to jobs will include allowing us to post for positions one grade level lower than our current grade which a new twist compared to the past. It's because many current jobs will be downgraded by one. What isn't clear is if that means my salary will fall or if I will just find myself at the top end of the lower grade, assuming I get the job, even though I'm doing my same job but "redefined". They're targeting grades 3 and 7, at least in some areas, to push to a lower grade. I can't remember much else. The changes make my head spin. I just want to do good work and support my family, dammit.
Shell are throwing them over the side of the ship and good riddance. IQ raised job done.
yeah, it's not a layoff, it's a "reset"
I'm sure Shell's leaders would love to keep everyone employed if they could.
