I’ve heard there is another reorg planned is this true? Just survived can’t take much more of this, I have a family.

Hi Everyone, I joined Shell US last year but have to leave Shell early next year due to the recent reorganization. I heard that I will lose my pension because the length of my stay is less than 2 years and 3 months. This is not fair as it’s not me... — read more 

Shell is not the same company it once was. People now just expect things to get worse, not better. I can’t remember a time when my coworkers were so focused on negative changes like they are now. There’s no hope for improvement, just worries about... — read more 

If leaving early next year, what are some things to plan now. I have heard of learning account. anything else?

any news in context of JV with Equinor ?

Anyone else feel the IT leaders have robbed us of all hope and joy? Not motivated after this brutal reorganization . I’ve just lost all faith after seeing top talent let go while the lower performers stay.

In the IDT reorg, leaders straight up lied or told unfounded gossip about people they didn’t like in the panels to dissuade others from hiring qualified candidates. This is verified. How can this be allowed? If you are going to spread lies about a... — read more 

How far off is Shell from being operated like it was owned by Blackrock(or similar) ? Seems like Wael and folks like him see the business not very different from how Blackrock would - a set of backboxes which either generate net cash or don't. Focus... — read more 

A colleague did some data mining and figured out wells has about 15% of its staff at the JG2+ level, whereas the subsurface side is closer to 40%. I’m hearing of a lot of cuts at the lower levels in Development and Suburface, but more cuts up top in... — read more 

Let’s hear your nominations for the worst of Shell’s executive/management team! Stories, rants, comments welcome.

I am 51 with 12 years of service. How long do I need to work to get retiree medical benefit? If 70 points is age + service = 51+12 = 63. This means I need to be employed 3.5 years to get to 70? Is this 70-point in the US even worth it? I think it... — read more 

This is an anonymous board so let’s hear it how much do y’all have in 401k? And how many years of service? I’ll start 4 years of service with 150k.

So much time spent focussing on Wael but what about our North American presidents Gretchen and Susannah? I’ve been at this company for multiple decades and haven’t seen such poor leadership in quite some time. Canadian upstream has been decimated and... — read more 

During the Town hall today when Wael spoke to SPS scores . . . Referring to pockets to excellence (people who didn't write bad reviews) and then saying he wasn't sure if poor organsional leadership came down to him as it's everyone responsibility to... — read more 

Ever since joining Shell in the last couple years it’s been evident that something is horribly wrong here. Management doesn’t lead - they’re only self-serving and looking for the next promotion. Processes are strictly enforced but are not... — read more

Does anyone think there may be new news on additional job cuts at the beginning of 2025. Or has everything been announced already. I doubt whether management is satisfied with the bloodletting so far….

We should change our name to Schlemiel USA.

All this pain we are being put through and the market has set multiple records this year but Shell still lags way behind where we should be. Is he going to destroy the company culture and lose all this talent and still not get the stock price up on... — read more

This is the most dehumanizing and humiliating experience I’ve ever been through. I have great ratings. My manager won’t lift a finger to help me. I’m begging people to look at my applications. We are told by HR to call no one but then behind the... — read more 

With 1s-2s being announced...it seems like these group of folks could be in seat/in rotation for a while (unless the SVP moves out). While there are some who did not get placed, the chances of future upward growth as a 3 seem much lower than before... — read more 

Can an interim manager tell HR not to hire an employee for any internal roles? It has nothing to do with previous years’ IPFs

Can an interim manager tell HR not to hire an employee for any internal roles? It has nothing to do with previous years’ IPFs.

what are your thoughts on this happening? there has been historical precedent for both adjusting it up and down.... I feel like 2024 bpf will be adjusted DOWN 😭

Last few months have been tough. Now that things settled down a bit, I hope we get a few months break.

Several people I know keep saying they'd be "so, soooo happy" if they were laid off. If that's actually true, how come none of them quit? Nobody is holding them here against their will. Why do I keep hearing "oh, I am not worried, I want to be laid... — read more 

I get performance shares every year and have a high cep. So how can my manager tell me I can’t reapply for my current role? She tells me I’ll do well on the outside market. This is crazy. She gave me the shares and higher ratings and now says I... — read more 

Can any Shell employees here recommend a good attorney in Houston who won against Shell? Thinking if I should get an attorney before signing my severance package.

The frightening part of the IDT report is that most roles posted are already filled. You won’t even be considered. There are very few jobs without preferred candidates and no real way of figuring those out. How is this legal? It’s all a facade. They... — read more 

I have applied for some internal OR roles and wonder if anyone (existing / most recent Shell staff) knows how I can ask for an extension of my end date until hear from the hiring managers of the posted jobs.

After plenty of news on job cuts in different parts of the Shell world, it seems to have gone quiet. Does anyone think there may be new news on additional job cuts before the end of the year? Or has everything been announced already. I suspect some... — read more 

More price increases for health insurance 🙄🙄🙄

Announcement came this afternoon and makes me wonder whether now long awaited lay offs will start with Shell staff in Nigeria as a result of the news. Does anyone know anything?

Anyone in Canada or the US who has gone through an employment lawyer for severance negotiation? Any recommendations on who to use and expected improvement in severance package outcome?
