Feb 28. 14 days till Bonus Day. Then the resignations start. And today's disorganisation will seem like the good old days.

So will Gretchen and company dare try to increase us to 3 days a week after these sorry raises?

Please state country, LOB, and 100% PIR based on the new IPRO statements we received in HR Online tonight. I'll start: US - JG4 - Global Functions - $150,000

5% on average. Think about it everytime you pay a bill. Does it make you feel better that you are doing your part not to contribute to inflation by taking a pay cut? HOW MUCH WAS GRETCHEN'S PAY CUT? IS SHE HAVING TROUBLE MAKING ENDS MEET, LIKE ME? — read more 

Sorry, we can't pay you more or we would be contributing to inflation! Don't worry, we let you work in a supportive culture with great colleagues! I mean, who writes this stuff?

What date are bonuses paid out in the US?

Can someone explain to me why the BPF was originally 1.32 for 2021 when we averaged 1.49 over Q1-Q3? Did we tank in Q4? I really doubt it considering the favorable macro conditions… Maybe I’m being cynical but I think 1.5 should have been the actual... — read more 

Hi! Has anyone here dealt with outplacement, Randstad Risesmart or LHH? Just have to choose between and wanted some feedback. Also, if you have any insights, what are the key success factors about how to engage with them and get the most out of it?... — read more 

I quit

I just saw my pay raise for the year in the Netbenefits Life Insurance thing. From 2020 to 2022, I am averaging 2.2% increases for two years of Higher IPF. It is like a sm--k in the face having had to work my a-s off through Reshape and COVID but not... — read more 

Of course no company will decide to spend more on good employees instead of hiring cheaper. I still don't know of any such company. That is the bitter truth. It’s impossible to know, but I just wonder how much money this company lost replacing... — read more 

No pressure Shell. I am not holding my breath ..... but surprise me ..... at this point it is pointless to even compare to XOM anymore. They didn't need to sell anything to be able to buy back shares either .....

We used to have no problems filling vacant positions, there were always plenty of good applicants to choose from. That hasn't been the case in the last few years. For those who might think it has something to do with the current labor shortage, this... — read more 

When will Shell sell NORCO Refinery and / or Chemical Plant? Once NORCO is gone, Shell will be no refining capacity/ liability in USA.

Is there still Permian people around without a position yet? I heard rumor that the majority of them were either absorbed by Conoco or by other organizations within Shell. Does anyone have more info on the percentage of people who are still with... — read more 

If anyone joined after 2012 (or 2011 - not sure), you dont have a good pension and no health coverage post retirement in the US. To compensate the salary may be slightly higher. But if you work for an "old timer", they may not understand the loss in... — read more 

It is known the remaining Canadian unconventional assets will be joining integrated gas. But with the lack of information to date I would assume this will not be a simple lift and shift to IG.

might as well replace with a random nr generator …..

Does not appear to bode well for Ben's green ambitions

I was surprised at how many of my colleagues are still here just because they are waiting for a new round of layoffs to finally leave this place. Isn't that too risky? I will gladly accept another offer and I will not be very picky because I already... — read more 

Any thoughts on SPS results and insights?

Wondering if anyone who left Shell voluntarily, did you regret your decision? assuming you are still in this board

Who's gone?

In Downstream Technical considering a Downstream Commerical opportunity. Are the JG salaries the same between downstream? If not, what is JG5 and JG4 100% PIR for Downstream Commercial?

Any news on raises and bonuses? They were nothing or next to nothing last year. Inflation is hitting us hard this year. This is for US Downstream.

Covid is at an all time high in GOM and SARS flights are backed up four days. So much for OSHA, Biden, and Shell’s vaccine requirements working.

I'll disclose my vaccination status right after I disclose deez nutz on BVB chin. In other words, NEVER GONNA HAPPEN! They will have much bigger problems if they keep on with the bullsh!+

Week 1. People leaving. Numbers and details. Voluntary, involuntary, announced, still a secret, gone, ghosted. Department, location.

Got another job at another shop as a trader. When I give my "2 weeks notice," will I immediately be walked out and paid out? Currently in Shell's trading group. Or will I be able to ride the 2 week journey?

If you quit or you're laid off, do you plan to start a new job or start looking for a new job right away or do you plan to take a break? I am overworked and constantly tired. I'm thinking of quitting but I don't think I have the energy to start... — read more

Why do we keep rehiring people who leave for other jobs with a lot of pomp and then lose their jobs because they were incompetent to begin with? Instead of being glad we got rid of them, they're brought back in. Are we that starved for employees?... — read more

Anyone planning to resign in the New Year? Many folks are discontent, but are they discontent enough? What would push you over the edge? Bad pay increase? Better pay offer somewhere else? More of the same old BS?

Seems like all the geos have gotten a placement. Glad to see the company has been able to retain all this talent.
