Has anyone heard anything new since RM’s most recent email announcement? Someone posted the decision timeline (the staff council summary) in the comments section for that announcement. I thought it said something like EVP communications were supposed to come out end of September/beginning October. Haven’t seen one from our EVP but maybe others? I realize I’m being anxious, tough not to be…

@hn
These type of people will always land well off. It is not a reason for laying off people.
@hn he will end up with a big settlement and join other dutch companies like most snr leads, the company that wants ex-Shell is ASML, many turn up there. Plenty of jobs in NL available. Just not oil and gas ones. Shell is time waste or just grinding till you are told off.
right, but where does this leave Robijn? No job for him right?
just face it -
the industry is shrinking. and we are the industry. expect layoffs every 2-3 years until you’re finally cut.
there are also zero consequences of any kind for sending jobs to india.
it will keep happening forever. if this brutal truth bothers you, then i advise you move into other industries before a crowd is trying to do that all at once. that’s my plan.
i will quit march 2nd after racking up one more stock grant and bonus. start applying in january. no more sleepless nights worried about being on my a-s or early morning trying to teach bangalore the basics for the 15th time on how to take over my job.
EVP Technology moving into downstream makes sense. Although there is an IG & Upstream Technology VPship under S.G. I imagine that VPship will eventually move, split or both after the EVP moves settle down. I’m sure there are other VPs that will move around until end of 2026 and into 2027. Seems like more layoffs to come, YL collects along with RM and F the rest of us.
@Op
~280 global P&T roles listed between JG5-JG1 - to be posted next week for application.
~100 of 280 roles in Houston (primary)
Outcomes determined/communicated mid december
@f9 projects and engineering will be some kind of global Talent Pool where they cut most roles in US, UK, NL
When they say global Talent pool they mean global Malaysia and India mostly
PT Will be split off to other businesses. RvR will directly report to Wael. Makes sense to me.
@d0 Could you please elaborate on? Are they moving P&T technical functions to India?
It sounds like it's going to be Royal Indian Shell for P&E
