Shell Traders

Gretchen's email, make your voice heard
We want oil rights because selling the devil's ex------t is lucrative right now. But we can't admit to each other that we're really just a band of greedy wh--es. So we're going grab the moral high ground AND whine about not being able to play in the... — read more
Quiet quitting
Looks like this is becoming popular among Shell's younger employees as well. It's not something I could do (my work ethic wouldn't let me) but I can't begrudge them either. Shell has changed a lot in the last decade or so and I can understand that... — read more

Bye bye NAM
Guess the US will get more dutch staff..enjoy!
Bye Ben
Time for the Shell "hot potato" game to begin. Ben is going to take all of the woke "green" promises he has been so proudly championing and pass them on to the next schmuck to pass on to the next schmuck, etc. until whomever is holding the steaming... — read more
What is your PIR
Do many people have 100% PIR or is 90% closer to the norm? Just curious where in the distribution most people sit - toward the bottom? - or toward the top Are there very many folks over 100%?
SPS, tell them what you think
Think D&I. Think 8% inflation and then the gaslighting that a 2% raise is really better for you, because Gretchen is SO SMART. Think no bonus because someone in Nigeria had a car accident. Think managers who can't do but check the ESG boxes. Think... — read more
It could be much worse
There are worse things than working for a company run by those who you don’t agree with. Shell is not ideal but it pays well and provides good benefits, which is more than you can say for most other places. Not to mention being unemployed. There are... — read more

For those of you working 9/80s, do you have to make personal appointments on your day off, or are you given more flexibility? EM employee here. We have been told we don't want 9/80s by mgmt, but I don't believe that.

I read that Prelude is not producing and the shutdown has been cancelled , is this true due to the Unions shutting it ?

EM employee here....How does ranking / performance assessment work at Shell? Is it a forced distribution / relative ranking system similar to EM?

Shell to give staff 8% bonus after record profits. (I didn’t get the memo…is this for all staff or was this the stock awards which vested recently?) https://stocks.apple.com/AV9wxy4vQSNa2WpJ0FL-q-Q
I don't want to complain but
it would have been more appropriate to give everybody an equal monetary bonus such as the bonus shares we got recently .....
Bonus Shares
Any one else notice on their last pay stub that RDS sold some of "your" shares to cover taxes, which you got in lieu of a bonus, without telling you?

What a joke
This company over the past few years has become a joke. How about we focus on increasing value for the shareholders, like we are suppose to do. Renewables, Diversity, Roe v Wade, Social Justice, etc is going to run this company into the ground. ... — read more
Employment lawyer
Any suggestions? Any with experience against Shell?
COVID Spread in the Office
Seems like more and more employees are experiencing COVID symptoms and yet Gretchen and their "caring" staff have not said a word about the issue. How can they say their primary care is the safety of their employees but say nothing and do nothing. ... — read more
Hey Ben, how did these buybacks work out for you ?
Noticed you are done "spending" the money you got for the Permian and share price has barely budged. So that was money well spend right ? I think you need to fully reinstate the pre covid dividend ....
Keeping the talent here
When I started working here, I felt privileged to have the opportunity to work and learn from some of the greatest experts in their field. Now I wonder if Shell is doing anything to retain the talent here?
Abortion ruling
Any Shell comment ? Surely good reason to reiterate support for employee rights on reproductive care and explore plans to move out of the state of Texas in the long run . Not an OIl and Gas company anyways anymore .....
When did the managers stop managing?
Lately it’s like the managers are just too occupied with their own ambitions and plans for further promotion that they don’t do the very thing that they are paid to do, manage. That behavior was always present to some degree but lately it has become... — read more
Special severance for near retirement employees?
Anyone hear of a situation, lately, where severance was offered for employees nearing retirement. I'm talking about those cases where an employee has been employed for 30+ years? I guess you could just wait for the next package that may be around... — read more
Quitting now is pure idiocy
A lot of people are choosing to quit but doing that now is pure idiocy, in my opinion. First of all, O&G is doing great. You should never leave a winning team. Second of all, the compensation here is still better than at plenty of competition. And... — read more
