The CEO at Shell, Ben van Beurden, posted on LinkedIn how (and why) Shell is breaking business alliances with Russia, and how they're willing to lose (big) money doing so. Here's the Shell link: https://lnkd.in/dZpC3A4V. I had to wonder if our 'world-class' CEO would ever 'lower himself' to converse with ordinary people on LinkedIn, or if that is RM's job? I still remember stiff, predictable '5 in 5' scripted interviews from a few years ago with MW 'answering questions' from some high-pot.

Shell is the largest and leading competitor in our business so it would pay to follow them
Very very close.
There is a Shell section on this site, this is the Chevron one, are you lost? They discuss layoffs on that one. What do you discuss here, seems like a bunch of OCD children in a chat room.
Shell virtue signals with green energy while still buying Russian oil. Immoral, unethical and just plain stupid. Not the kind of leadership anyone should be praising.
"We are acutely aware that our decision last week to purchase a cargo of Russian crude oil to be refined into products like petrol and diesel — despite being made with security of supplies at the forefront of our thinking — was not the right one and we are sorry," Shell CEO Ben van Beurden said in a statement.
Shell just paid Russia $50 million for 100,000 metric tons of Ural sweet … so much for principles!
Does that have something to do with layoffs. or are you on the wrong site?
I wish Chevron were more like Shell. They are huge and well managed. And European.
Ahh! RM has sent in her trolls to defend MW!
It’s the same “green” troll who haunts this board, knows nothing about the energy industry or Chevron but like his buddies loves to bask in his moral superiority.
Chevron was smart enough never to sink billions of dollars into Sakhalin, Rosneft, Novatek, Yamal or any of the things the Russians dangled in front of all the majors.
If you love Ben VB and his Linked In posts so much, quit and go work for their messed up company. They have some windmills waiting for you.
here's what's 'Visible' to me about Shell"
March 4:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-04/shell-buys-russia-s-flagship-urals-oil-at-a-record-discount
"Shell Plc, Europe’s largest oil company, bought a cargo of Russia’s flagship crude at a record discount, underscoring the company’s decision to keep buying supplies from the country after its invasion of Ukraine."
odd that comrades decide to post on this site, even more strange that 'people' are so easily fooled.
per said 'people' here's a note from george carlin:

have a nice day
If Putin calls off the war next week, will they change their mind?
Shell and BP, because they have to answer to a European audience (and courts) are more responsive to real-world situations. Chevron and Exxon, because they're more concerned with their dividends and social engineering, answer to Wall St. and CNBC.
Stupid business decisions = Leadership? You guys are a bunch of mo--ns.
Look at Shell’s stock price in January 2020 ($35) and today ($50).
Compare to Chevron stock price in January 2020 ($72) and today ($156).
I’d much prefer the money versus having our CEO posting messages on LinkedIn.
You forgot Angola and Nigeria. Oh, no Texas. And Louisiana!
I wonder if Shell is beholden to a dividend? Like Venezuela and Myanmar, Chevron has shown that they don't mind doing business in morally bankrupt countries, as long as there's money to be made.
