I always see the numbers floated out there for 100% PIR, and that hypothetically one can make 120% PIR of their JG…. but does anyone ever actually make that much? If so, how long did it take you to get to 100%? I know folks that have been in their... — read more

How often do managers at Shell get contacted by employees outside of their group asking about opportunities/joining?
I work in Shell IT (one of the dozens of silos). One thing they keep saying at the townhalls is that if you are interested in an area you should reach out to the manager or team lead who is working in that team. How often do you managers and team... — read more
Alternative careers
Much is generally written about how there are plenty of opportunities for those who want to transfer their skills from this sector to the renewables industry. I tried to make a transfer, but it's not that simple and easy. At least not in my case... — read more
Shell Execs never stick up for industry
I’ve watched several of these congressional hearings and the Shell executives always roll over and pander. Pathetic. https://www.c-span.org/video/?519140-1/oil-executives-testify-high-gas-prices
What does shell offer to the younger generation??
What does shell offer to the younger generation that is getting into the oil and gas venture? Is it worth it?
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
I love they are going directly after the directors! I hope they win

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
Of course this is how it works
Now that I want nothing to do with Shell and would volunteer for a layoff in a heartbeat, there's no need for layoffs and there'll be no need for layoffs for a long time to come. I've spent several years worrying about my job and being cut and now... — 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
Such an immoral company
Since posts keep getting deleted. I’ll repost.
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

Shell regrets selling Permian badly

Ageism
Do you feel there's age discrimination at Shell? I think once >50, opportunities decrease a lot in terms of getting good assignments
"A private matter"
I see that no one has so far commented on the fact that the CEO sold $5.2 million of shares because of "private matter". Must be some serious personal reason?
