Sept. 5 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc plans to start a series of announcements on job cuts as part of its cost- cutting program, the Financial Times reported, without saying where it got the information.
Personnel will be informed about detailed plans for their business units over the next two weeks, the newspaper said. Shell expects to complete the reductions by the end of the year, the FT reported.
Kirsten Smart, a spokeswoman at Shell, declined to comment on the report.
Shell Chief Executive Peter Voser earlier this year said that the company cost cutting program, Transition 2009, will be completed before 2010.
We are moving quickly. The top 600 leaders have all been announced and this has allowed us to reduce the numbers of senior managers by 20 percent, Voser said. I want to strip away the layers that are not adding value, and put much more focus on front line activities.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
