Role, location, JG and outcome? Houston, JG3, PM - late career, chose to take package and not apply - you?

It’s interesting that we are laying off employees at the same time as BP. The industry is doing fine right now. Crude is over $80. Is there any chance we’re slimming down to prepare for a takeover?

Soooo … just read that while Shell is laying off workers they are donating to 2025 “charities”. That’s what we’re prioritizing over jobs? Even if I keep my job, the anxiety so many of us are feeling is off the charts. How do we find the money for... — read more

I got less than 10 years with Shell. Should the hourly folks be worried too?

Get rid of all 4s and 5s. we don’t need oil in 2030s anyways. Have 3s and above sail the ship!

Hearing rumblings that we’ll be told our fates this week in DW, has anyone on here been told yet?

For those that are in parts of the business that have already announced org charts, are they doing some time bound roles this time like reshape?

I hear many people at Woodcreek talking about P&T Deepwater Layoffs. Are we still in the only Management knows phase or are the individuals finding out already?

After buying BG and sacking most of the bg folks, Shell has shown it can make big deals work. Maybe head office was moved to uk so that they can more easily buy bp, then move head office after that. There would be potential for huge cost savings…

When Exxon bought Mobil, they prefaced it with 5 years of cuts and followed up with 5 more after the merger. Buckle up!

"Exxon’s rivals no doubt have aching regret. Almost 30 other companies, including Chevron Corp., passed up the chance to buy into the Guyana discovery. Shell Plc, previously a 50% partner, walked away." Please tell me whomever was involved in this... — read more 

I think it’s just potential speculations and plans, I don’t see many people are impacted. So just wonder where are those and will most be intact after all?

Deploying TAO and P&T India to replace technical experts across the globe is destroying Shell’s lead in various technological areas of the Oil & Gas industry. We used to pride ourselves for holding sooo many patents that no one even came close to... — read more

Been in DW for 10-15 years in the Wells Org and we have gotten so bloated from all the divestments and bringing people in. It’s insane. JG2+ roles are created out of thin air that deliver no real value. People are tripping over each other and causing... — read more

I just joined the company (IGU) less than 6 months ago. Do u think with this info, will increase/decrease the possibility of me to be redundant.

How many jobs moving to India?

Apparently the layoff percentage across different departments is around 10 to 15%. You think the same will happen to IGU ?

For those that have been through an MOR before in Shell, appreciate it if you can give advice to those that have been impacted (never experienced this before and I’m super nervous). How do we get ready? Is there hope for job placements? How do we... — read more
