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

Going from being PROUD to work for Shell to being EMBARRASSED - a 20-year journey
That's it...when I was hired in 2002, I was excited, the company treated me well, compensation was high, raises were high, bonuses were high. People in those days were jealous that I worked for Shell. People always said they sent resumes to Shell for... — 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?

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

I just saw my pay raise for the year in the Netbenefits Life Insurance thing. From 2020 to 2022, I am averaging 2.2% increases for two years of Higher IPF. It is like a sm--k in the face having had to work my a-s off through Reshape and COVID but not... — 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
XOM ki----g it
No pressure Shell. I am not holding my breath ..... but surprise me ..... at this point it is pointless to even compare to XOM anymore. They didn't need to sell anything to be able to buy back shares either .....

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
Groundbirch/Gold Creek
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.

Elisabeth Brinton sudden departure??
Does not appear to bode well for Ben's green ambitions
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
