I hope those who were quick to leave are regretting it now that the results are out. Shell is doing great and it'll continue to do great. You go chase after the mythical better jobs where you'll be treated with respect and as a part of a family. I'm going to keep picking up my paycheck and enjoying life with job security. To each their own, I reckon.

I have to agree. Financial results and job security has a very loose link at best. The company has at the very least a 5 year plan and expectation on the number of employees they expect to have on payroll at any given time. Besides the SBO folks are much less expensive then the US, UK or their Dutch counterparts. I see more offshoring of jobs in the near future. I do think it could help to minimize any more surprise SVS actions like we saw in early COVID times. But be warned the money will not make in employee's pockets. They knew the results were going to be good but gave it to the shareholders instead in an attempt to keep share price up. Which has not fared well compared to our competitors.
The company may be posting bumper profits, but you’re naive if you think that has any significant bearing on your compensation or job security.
And this take is coming from an NTP… it’s concerning if you are drinking the kool-aid as a experienced hire.
