Shell is an amazing company. Even better than Shell is its people - it's best asset. Company speak.
Shell employees are the most gutless spineless soulless lifeless mindless people I have ever known. In my 30 years as a professional - 3 major corporations and Shell is - wow - in a league of its own. I don't know how it does it - but brainwashing does come to mind. Insidious.
