Thread regarding Shell Oil layoffs

D&I doubters - the SJWs have been unleashed!

After the disastrous town hall last Monday
( https://www.thelayoff.com/t/1btHWZTV ) the management (EV) made the decision to clarify his position on the ever so unpopular D&I, and its next iteration - DEI (or is it DIE W M?).

Following his Yammer lead, a few vocal ladies on the other side of the Atlantic (the in-house social justice warriors - SJWs) promptly created a Yammer echo chamber. They all violently agreed with each other how questioning D&I is hurtful, unprofessional, disrespectful, etc. Also, Menti must be either censored or shut down. Of course, no actual debate on the merits of D&I can ever take place.

A reminder - never ever debate these SJWs in any forum that would identify you personally. You will be made an example of. Anonymously resist via Menti - while it lasts! Ask questions politely and professionally, and hit them with the pointed content instead. That's how one wins hearts and minds - those that can be won.

"Never ever identify your views! Resist only if it is safe to do so (anonymously). They really don't want to hear from you, they just want to identify you so you can be expelled!"

Would have to agree, I have survived 27 years by knowing when to keep it to myself. I have seen the consequences for those that do not. It can be ugly.

EV is kicking off a "Hundred Flowers Campaign" (wiki it). Don't get sucked in like that 1 individual below calling to become apolitical! That's a dead give away!!! Never ever identify your views! Resist only if it is safe to do so (anonymously). They really don't want to hear from you, they just want to identify you so you can be expelled!

EV:
I wanted to share with you my reflections from Monday's Western webcast. I felt discouraged seeing some of the Menti comments, not because I do not like hard questions, but rather I felt some questions and comments were not in line with our core values in Shell and in Development & Subsurface.

To build a Development & Subsurface organization we are excited about, everyone needs to help; it is not a task for leadership alone and I want to start by asking for your input, regardless of where you stand on the broad spectrum of sentiment. I want to hear where you think our culture sits today and what advice you have on how we move forward, preserving and amplifying what works, while addressing our issues head on. I would like to invite anyone who is interested, to sign up to listening sessions through the coming weeks using this form.
We can only achieve this by coming together as community to learn and become better. I look forward to our open and honest discussions.

One misguided individual's response in a public identifiable format calling for becoming apolitical:

  • has the Leadership Team alternatively considered the route of eliminating societal and political discussions? We all like analogue studies as O&G professionals, have the recent examples at Basecamp and Coinbase been considered?

Yeah, the political stuff on Yammer is getting to be a real problem. We can hope that eventually enough honest people will have enough courage to disrupt the echo chamber. Some leadership support would really help.

Yes, I noticed that too! Europe is where the rot is most extensive. Coupled with dying conventional oil and gas activities, all they can produce is activism. Green energy, gender equity, any other cr#p one could imagine.

A bunch of old managers there are hoping to pull in a few more paychecks, and may the place collapse after they leave. Rest and vest on steroids!

It's sad that the US units are tied to this sinking millstone ... The GoM assets are still some of the best that exist over here!

Someone in upper management needs to speak out. A bunch are on their way out with upcoming Unconventionals & Upstream sales, maybe someone sees all this craziness and will go out with some integrity

But I doubt it, so anonymously resisting via menti lol
