There are worse things than working for a company run by those who you don’t agree with. Shell is not ideal but it pays well and provides good benefits, which is more than you can say for most other places. Not to mention being unemployed. There are... — read more 

For those of you working 9/80s, do you have to make personal appointments on your day off, or are you given more flexibility? EM employee here. We have been told we don't want 9/80s by mgmt, but I don't believe that.

Lol. Let's see if Ben can resist giving Conoco another gift .....

This company over the past few years has become a joke. How about we focus on increasing value for the shareholders, like we are suppose to do. Renewables, Diversity, Roe v Wade, Social Justice, etc is going to run this company into the ground. ... — read more 

Any suggestions? Any with experience against Shell?

Seems like more and more employees are experiencing COVID symptoms and yet Gretchen and their "caring" staff have not said a word about the issue. How can they say their primary care is the safety of their employees but say nothing and do nothing. ... — read more 

Noticed you are done "spending" the money you got for the Permian and share price has barely budged. So that was money well spend right ? I think you need to fully reinstate the pre covid dividend ....

Any Shell comment ? Surely good reason to reiterate support for employee rights on reproductive care and explore plans to move out of the state of Texas in the long run . Not an OIl and Gas company anyways anymore .....

Lately it’s like the managers are just too occupied with their own ambitions and plans for further promotion that they don’t do the very thing that they are paid to do, manage. That behavior was always present to some degree but lately it has become... — read more 

Anyone hear of a situation, lately, where severance was offered for employees nearing retirement. I'm talking about those cases where an employee has been employed for 30+ years? I guess you could just wait for the next package that may be around... — read more 

A lot of people are choosing to quit but doing that now is pure idiocy, in my opinion. First of all, O&G is doing great. You should never leave a winning team. Second of all, the compensation here is still better than at plenty of competition. And... — read more

Why is Shell not in Guyana ?

VP has too little to keep him busy. Told me that others are decorating their cubes with personal items, pictures, stickers, why not me? Seems very focused on SPS. Wants to see smiles and flair and personal photos on Yammer. What the fu-k did I get... — read more

Any idea if Shell plans on keeping Deer Park chemicals in their portfolio?

Lol. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot every time. Surprised he has any feet left .....

Buying Helix Energy? Why?

In the movie "the recruit", Colin Farrell's father works for shell and is CIA!

I hope those who were quick to leave are regretting it now that the results are out. Shell is doing great and it'll continue to do great. You go chase after the mythical better jobs where you'll be treated with respect and as a part of a family. I'm... — read more
