All this AI push to make Shell better is just lip service by so-called leaders wanting to save money with reduced headcount. Before long, there won’t be any employees to buy their products. It’s laughable that YL and his merry bunch of “leaders”... — read more

What’s going on with Chemicals?
I noticed several people are shown open to work at LinkedIn.

Unreal so sad the site is in disarray and big management couldn’t care less.
I never thought the share price would get this high
As the title says, I never thought that SHEL would sell above $90.00/share. I guess that the rising tide raised all the ships, even the sinking ones( BP and Shel have risen just about as much over the last 6-months). There is a saying for stocks... — read more
Chemicals spin off

To staff who will make less than hourly (US)
The answer to ensuring our pay rises at the rate we want (above inflation, to keep the structure the same over time) is simple: we need to unionize. Asking in town halls anonymously why it makes sense for hourly pay to pass staff isn’t going to get a... — read more
