People are too quick to leave these days

Very few think long term. The company that you're leaving Shell for because it claims it offers permanent RTO might reconsider at any point in the future. They also can decide to offshore their remote jobs at some point, because why not? If they can... — read more

I don't want RTO

I don't see the need to return to the office after two years of productive work from home. People are talking about looking for other options if Shell starts pushing the idea of RTO further. Still, I wouldn’t look for another job just because of... — read more

Ready for SVS

Morale is all time low. Leaders are not leading just bowing to public interest groups. Wake up people RES is expensive and returns are miniscule, assuming it's run well. We all know that the Shell machine is not efficient so the outcome is... — read more

Why is SHELL stock a poor performer?

Shell stock is performing terribly in 2022 relative to peers, especially when compared to ExxonMobil or Chevron. Why is that? Those companies are on a tear, among best in S&P 500 YTD, and Shell stock is floundering even with historically high oil and... — read more

Is everybody happy now?

Apologies have been made and steps were taken to join the majority in condemnation of Russia, so can we go back to normal now? I'm getting tired of people calling a company "immoral." If you're just now discovering that an O&G giant is going to look... — read more 

All they had to do was do nothing

If the leadership did nothing, Shell would be among the companies that are being called to leave Russia but are still dragging their feet. Not ideal, but not devastating for our image, either. But no, our leadership decided to do some war... — read more

Severance Packages on the Horizon

With the Russia probe, cost over runs on large projects, the rumors are rampant that another round of packages will be offered relatively "soon". If you missed your chance last time you may be able to grab a golden ticket. Good luck.
