I think there are more SVP and VP in HR than in any other organization in Shell.

Less employees = less HR needed of course. My redundancy was managed by a couple of nice ladies in Krakow, I am.grateful for that. But overall my career had not much to do with HR.
There was a time HR worked for employees helping within policy to assist and supporting management.
At some point they changed to a policing organization for management and employees.
They also became very political with DEI metrics on every decision.
You'd be surprised how many people push for dei without truly believing in it. For some, it's just a show rather than a real commitment to change...
You could cut every last person in the DEI departments and you would be actively improving both society and the company's bottom line.
Now do the DEI departments
This is a depressing site, but thank you for whoever posted this, it made me laugh: "Seeing as speaking to HR might as well be like talking to a worse version of Chat GPT"
Seeing as speaking to HR might as well be like talking to a worse version of Chat GPT, they might as well replace them with AI.
Yes they are and have. Over last 7 years have reduced total cost by 60%, mostly offshoring. But it continues, just finished 2 more reorgs last month.
No sympathy for the most useless and self serving department in Shell
AI can do that
Yes. They were cut by about 30% total Jan-July. That doesn’t include all the jobs that were offshored to India from NL/GB/US. The number is net - i.e., if a job were in NL moved to India then 0% loss. I’m not sure what exactly the losses were in the more expensive countries but it was probably closer to 60% with US being hit the hardest.
