Thread regarding Shell Oil layoffs

Shell plans to compress OSS up to 10 floors, likely empty out 8. They'll plan to remain in the city for years to come. Could always use as business continuity site if Houston gets a severe hurricane strike or incident. The other fallback site is up in Brazos Valley . Knock on wood no city is ever dirty bombed or hit by a Cat5. Katrina weakened to a Cat3 with a hell of a 30 ft storm surge.

WTF does Trump have to do with a discussion about Shell and layoffs? Go away Troll......

...but look at the upside, all those jobs that Trump will create by repatriating Mexicans that you guys will be able to do. Bring on the good times.

Absolutely agree, we call my boss the squid because of his lack of anything remotely resembling a backbone. Totally political animal, throws his folks under the bus if any power player says anything against them or something they did. Never backs his people in anything, total lack of moral fiber. And he is one of the better ones at the site where I work!

Spot on. The lack of moral fiber and integrity in the "new" GOM LT is staggering. Never met a bigger bunch of gutless sycophants.

What can you expect from a company as poorly run as Shell? Piss away almost 8 billion on a pipe dream, managers with no backbone or concern for those they "lead", other managers about as "authentic" as a 3 dollar bill who fold under the slightest pressure into screaming idiots (and then get promoted!), and those who "lead" from their ivory 6th floor tower without ever going to the real world to see what the plebes are doing. Yeah can't imagine why this company is in trouble and slashing headcount.

Shell will soon vacate the P&T floors,5-9.Unconfirmed but likely the EVP floor will close next year.Everyone remaining sits on floors 10 through 33 until the 2017-2018 rounds of layoffs and floor closures.

So far more than 35k (staff & contractors) got pink slips.

Wait until the floodwaters in Houston subside
