Now with the new IPF system 80 percent of folks get the same IPF, doesnt matter how hard you work most folks get the same rating. Strong performance no longer rewarded, you are just lucky to have your job and maybe get an SRA if you are lucky.
With a reorg every 16-18 months and no real basis to make staff selection now more than ever being liked and having a good impression is more important than whether you actually do work. No 1-1 for interview processes and candidate selection for jobs. Discipline makes decision on where you ultimately move to rather than your team leads who see your work on a daily basis. Promotion and progression are time based rather than performance based. Favoritism/politics are rampant more than ever in the organization last 4 years, and focus of folks is networking more than doing any actual work.
Shell used to be a place where they used to look for reasons to hire you, now it seems the opposite only look for reasons to fire you. People within the organization trying to justify their worth by creating processes/reorgs (ineffeciencies) rather than streamlining and creating efficiencies. Lets get back to the basics of performance.
