Been in Shell for almost 2 decades and I think we are being run by substandard leadership. Not all, but a good bunch like 80%. From the CEO, to about 2 to 3 levels down. I have also seen a lot of great JG2 up people leave. What is going on? HR strategy?

I think that the leadership is driving out a lot of the JG2's who are doing a good job to:
- replace them with 2 -3 people who are less expensive
- get rid of them for calling bull$h!t, on the plethora of bull$h!t decisions knowingly made that contravene logic
- DEI and social engineering to signal "virtue"
Perhaps the getting rid of the folks who carry weight who despise bad decisions is the main cause it allows the substandard decisions to be made whimsically. It is like the hire Mckinsey and use their weak worded reports to support whatever decision that they were going to make to begin with.

Yup it could be worse, we could be the rat infested fe--s filled dumpster fire … at least we aren’t last wohooo 🥳
"Seems substandard" means "su-ks"?
30% makes money, simple drill, trade and sell oil. 70% is crappie overhead who does business with each other and leech money as long as they can.
The history of competence is the history of learning from people that are better than you. And that relationship should take precedence over all else.
it’s because our leadership has no vision except for saving their own skins and cashing out
if you only get fired for spending money and being wrong, and your goals are saving your own butt, then you’re going to double down on sure bets and rest and vest then leave
Hmmm... How would you rank these BP, Shell, Total, Exxonmobil, Chevron. I'd put it in this order with Chevron barely beating Exxonmobil. I'd agree it is bottom half, but clearly better than BP. I get that there are only 5 super majors, so quartile arguments are very messy. Room to improve with obvious flaws, but not the worst in the group.
