Shell USA, Inc.????

Name change after 100 years because it better aligns with our core strategy? How exactly? Complete BS. It was done for financial, reporting, tax or selling purposes. We have too mainly people running around making up work and developing new... — read more

Shell regrets selling Permian badly

With oil prices at 90+ USD per barrel and increasing and the Permian asset being sold after June 2021 when the oil price was 60+ USD per barrel. It seems that Shell did the investment and ConocoPhillips is making the cash with little efforts. Great... — read more

Next SVS

Even though COVID and Reshape SVS were fairly "recent", it's inevitable that another round will be in the offering. I'm hearing will placed rumors that it could be as soon as 6-8 months to allow for bonus and Reshape shakeout

Emotional distress

Thinking about suing Shell for emotional distress. I have never gone to a therapist, so I can’t claim that I’m in a very bad state of mental health. What I can say is that I have never felt so stressed and depressed in my life before with the... — read more

Ageism

Do you feel there's age discrimination at Shell? I think once >50, opportunities decrease a lot in terms of getting good assignments

"A private matter"

I see that no one has so far commented on the fact that the CEO sold $5.2 million of shares because of "private matter". Must be some serious personal reason?

You get this email from Gretchen?

Sorry, we can't pay you more or we would be contributing to inflation! Don't worry, we let you work in a supportive culture with great colleagues! I mean, who writes this stuff?

Group scorecard

Can someone explain to me why the BPF was originally 1.32 for 2021 when we averaged 1.49 over Q1-Q3? Did we tank in Q4? I really doubt it considering the favorable macro conditions… Maybe I’m being cynical but I think 1.5 should have been the actual... — read more

At some point though, we just became commodities

Of course no company will decide to spend more on good employees instead of hiring cheaper. I still don't know of any such company. That is the bitter truth. It’s impossible to know, but I just wonder how much money this company lost replacing... — read more

Shell is losing its draw for new employees

We used to have no problems filling vacant positions, there were always plenty of good applicants to choose from. That hasn't been the case in the last few years. For those who might think it has something to do with the current labor shortage, this... — read more

Pension

If anyone joined after 2012 (or 2011 - not sure), you dont have a good pension and no health coverage post retirement in the US. To compensate the salary may be slightly higher. But if you work for an "old timer", they may not understand the loss in... — read more

It is known the remaining Canadian unconventional assets will be joining integrated gas. But with the lack of information to date I would assume this will not be a simple lift and shift to IG.

Are you too waiting for severance?

I was surprised at how many of my colleagues are still here just because they are waiting for a new round of layoffs to finally leave this place. Isn't that too risky? I will gladly accept another offer and I will not be very picky because I already... — read more
