There's no such thing as job security here anymore. Just the illusion of it until the next email.

Is there any ongoing reorg in upstream?

We used to have no trouble filling open roles. Now we can't seem to find anyone. Is this happening elsewhere too?

What’s the name of the latest layoff initiative? How healthy for mental health is it to run an initiative to crop 12 staff every 4 years? Yet the management is barely affected or penalized! The only balanced thing is that their children will face a... — read more 

I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually looking forward to the possibility of being laid off. If they offered voluntary packages, I'd take it in a heartbeat. I'm just completely exhausted by Shell.

I’m in my late 20s so I assume I’m younger than a lot of you here and I’m also assuming a lot of y'all are probably my parents’ age or even older. Reading some of your hateful words on here Im honestly embarrassed for your kids. I can’t imagine if I... — read more 

Sounds like a lot of mediocre male Shell lifers nearing the end of their time on farm and lashing out that the world no longer revolves around them.

Just curious what people’s plans are. What do you think is the best exit route? It seems that most people are just trying to get to JG3 and that’s basically the peak of their career at Shell unless they check the right box. I’m not sure if I want to... — read more 

Lots of great opportunities out there but the window will not stay open for long. Don't get stuck on this sinking ship..................

Lessons learned from Hormuz conflict is that XOM needs secure LNG and Venture Global is the perfect fit. XOM was slow in January of 2026 where it could have bought it cheap…and most likely paid it off in short term

I'm aware that not everybody has that luxury, but if you can afford to drop 10 to 20 percent, there are plenty of options. My new job is interesting and it provides me with a chance to diversify in my field. I've been gone for a few months and I'm... — read more 

Why would Oxy pay its Petro Technicals a very generous one time bonus unrelated to yearly goals or performance. Some top onshore and offshore engineers received +60,000 for their efforts.. Your opinions?

I work in IT in US and have started actively looking. I have a first interview lined up next week. I am treating it as more of a warm up interview to get a feel for the market. I haven't interviewed in 7 or so years. Kind of tough that so many... — read more

Norco re-org on the way after $500mm in potential value found by McKinsey. So much for "we can't cut and cope our way to profitability..."

I know there should be no surprise with the price of oil dropping, but Shell stock is tanking. I thought the company would have been doing better after all of the massive layoffs, divestments and stock buy backs. Have they gone too far?

It’s looking competitive for Woodside as its assets are perfectly aligned with Shell

Looks like the DTO LT has been recently informed of the layoffs planned for later part of the year. The DTO LT themselves are in danger as there will be multiple mergers and hence job losses at LC and higher JG levels! Not complaining as I clearly... — read more

Is this mainly focused on the groups in the “corporate functions” overhead org or all of the embedded functions in the businesses as well? Been hearing the overhead groups already found out last week or week prior not sure about the others.

If you think Shell is messed up…it’s actually a fine running Swiss watch. Enjoy what a near peer is going through…Any time you hear energy transition and BP beyond petroleum…

I'll be eligible to retire in early 2027 and Finance is in the early stages of a reorg. I have 20 years with Shell and am age 50+, so my pension will likely be bridged if I get let go before I hit my early retirement numbers. Should I unofficially... — read more

Anyone know if the fire at Shell Norco is going to affect our bonus?

Shell bought an actual company instead of shares for cancellation. It looks like they're supporting LNG export... Does that mean that the Montney assets are not as good as we were led to believe? Even if it isn't the best deal I applaud the effort
