Why doesn't someone share the list they were given in their severance package. The one that I was told has the job title, salary grade, and age of all effected this round. Of course minus all the people that will be displaced post MOR

Those are good jobs being lost at Shell's offshore operations in the CBD. About 700 jobs lost and probably more to come from not only at Shell but from others in the region. This city is losing its tax base. Shell also is a big underwriter for the... — read more 

Anyone has an update on the plans? Poydras Street?

Good luck to all headed in to the square in the morning. Should be interested, worse comes to worse head a few blocks to Bourbon and drink it away.

Anyone know if the Alaska drilling project is on the chopping block?

We're by and by large gutless, spineless, wimps, here at Shell, cattle being lead to slaughter without a whimper. On the other boards of chevron exxon BP etc their employees are blasting exec management here at Shell we thank them for leading us to... — read more 

i am sitting in p&t in woodcreek. One of my colleague left while doing pip one month ago. After he left, my boss picked me and go through the pip. Is this p&t strategy to cut off the people? Want to share what you heard. Thanks.

Looks like we will find out something more tomorrow around 8 or so. The word is that Appo will go ahead and FID for Vito will be pushed back a year based on the BSSE lease extension. I haven't heard if BSSE gave them the lease extension or not last... — read more 

Whats the buzz in La......lots of Layoffs in NOLA.

Heard that there were pink slips in Bangalore, India today.

Anyone have a rough estimate of what our Cost Per Barrel is? I thought I had read a while back that is was in the 90s.

Is Shell finished layoffs in the Calgary office? Does anyone know?

Does anyone know when you will receive the severance package? I know it will be after Oct 15. Just trying to figure out when we will actually receive funds. I am trying to map out some bills. Any information will be helpful.

It doesn't matter what was defined as "low performer" or "meets expectation". HR demanded the IPF scale fall out on a bell curve centered at 1.0. Once it was determined that Shell needed to cut 30%, they are going to cut the bottom 30% of the bell... — read more 

There will be more cuts after we close the BG deal. There will be redundancies and with crude heading for the $30s, it's going to be deep cuts. This is just the 1st round

Is it just me or are the contractors outlasting the staff??? They aren't subjected to this IPF crap!

Half of the layoffs will be Shell employees and half will be contractors. Some will be through normal attrition .

Guys, your posts are freaking anonymous....speak your mind and spill the beans. Shell is cutting more jobs than Chevron, BP, Conocophillips and Exxon combined and y'all are playing nice??? WTF! 30% job cuts in UA and more to come after the BG deal is... — read more 

Check out first response to last four posts

I'm not trying to be a conspirator but I had a conversation with security yesterday and they told me that everyone walking out the front door with a black folder are the ones being given a package. They started keeping tabs on the demographics. She... — read more 

Haven't heard or seen from any post exactly what the severance package will be in the U.S. Someone who has seen it please post. Thx

There still remain long timer contractors who are clearly favorites with the leaders. Many of which deliver little of value

Most still believe their managers will work hard to place them. But I don't think outcome in anyway will be fair. Favourites and expats seem to be in the lucky draw. I'd like to see how shell can argue lack of skills and talent and layoff Americans... — read more 

In this low price environment. Thing is the IPF ranking system is flawed. If the number is 30% in UA like I was told, good luck finding 30% of staff with average IPF lower than 0.85 like Anonymous136143 heard

Are new hires safe or will they be cutting them too? It'll be pretty messed up if they cut someone who's only started working 3 months ago

any news on P&T layoffs..

What's up guys? I see a lot of views and clicks on this forum but very few comments. Is everybody having fun with the crap going on at Shell? Let's air it out here and encourage one another. I'll know for sure if I still have a job next week but it's... — read more 

Do we have any updates about the announcement that we'll have 6500 redundancies this yeat?

Was announced at the townhall. That's insane. Any news from the other business units?

The big ship of Shell's portfolio of oilfield acquisitions, especially recently, has just been hit by a torpedo. The hull is damaged, and there is leaking. But the worst is yet to come. When mother ship Shell starts to wobble, the Wall Street God... — read more

Upstream Americas is in deep trouble...Alaska will be the final nail. I'm out, I asked for a severance package. A guy on my former team didn't get mapped in the new org after making a 1.1 IPF last year because he won't kiss anyone's ass while a bunch... — read more 

What Shell is doing is going beyond layoffs. From my understanding if you are let go, you will never be able to come back to the company... ever. This is no layoff. This is more like an extermination. We are being punished while the bad decision... — read more
