Thread regarding Shell Oil layoffs

Talent is less and less important

I’m not saying there aren’t many talented employees here still or that Shell has become a mediocrity company. It just seems to me that everything is slowly moving towards that and I really wouldn’t like that to happen. How much will the talent and knowledge be valued here in 5-6 years?

One guy in our team got a 0.7, he does more work than most and really supports the group. Our supervisor didn’t get along with him, I have no idea how he justified giving him a 0.7, but he got a new job (right away) and is leaving at a critical time, and the team is really nervous as he carried a bunch of people... he didn’t even think twice about leaving, he was very pi$$ed off, never saw him like that. But I don’t blame him. When you give an employee a 0.7, I assume that means you’re getting laid of anyway. This company is losing a lot of talent while we’re offshoring critical work that fewer and fewer people know how to correct...

Well they did that to themselves. 70% of people get a 1.0 IPF. Managers have to pick one person to get the 0.7. A very small handful get 1.3 or 2.0, and they are usually the suckups. If you can't differentiate, no incentive to be anything but mediocre.

"Yup - it’s about the color of your skin and your type of genitals."

The stupidity of this comment proves otherwise .....

Yup - it’s about the color of your skin and your type of genitals.

Amazing isn’t it?
