I used to panic about being on the layoff list. After all the layoff rounds I’ve survived, I can now say that after each round it became harder for me to work here.
Now I no longer inquire about the next round of layoffs because I am afraid of not being the target, but quite the opposite. I’m pretty sure at this point many are hoping to be laid off in the next round?
It's pretty sad: Shell would rather you spend a lot of time worrying about layoffs, reorgs and divestments than actually doing your job. It's totally demoralizing and demotivating - seems like a self-fulfilling prophecy of inefficiency at this point. So glad I will no longer be an employee after November
Yeah, tough to voluntarily walk away from the pay and benefits, so much easier to leave if shown the door…
