Whisper from a worried engineer:
We hear that the 3 musketeers Marvin, Matthias and Malcolm are unable to reach agreement on whether everyone in jobgroup 2 and above has to re-apply for a job in Shell.
Matthias as a good Swiss with a Teutonic streak wants to go for the Endlösung and have it all over with soon by forcing a date for re-application to all jobs by end October.
But now for once the big brain of Malcolm, the mother of all micro managers, starts to feel nervous since he realises that HR cannot cope with the enormous load. Even HR can do overpromise-underdelivery!!!
So, the target of reaching 3.25 million boe/day in 2012 is becoming more unlikely by the day. Nobody is working on maintaining production, completing the projects or filling the funnel with new projects, everyone is fighting for survival and will spend all his/her time on looking good to whomever may decide whether he/she stays or goes. Time is almost ripe for Exxon or a Chinese or Russian company to pounce and shred Shell to pieces.
Thank you Watts. Thank you Hofmeister. Thank you Brinded. Thank you van de Veer. Thank you Voser. Thank you all who have sold out Shell and are now speeding up the process of destroying it further.
More on Job Cuts
Royal Dutch Shell CEO Pete Voser first warned of job cuts months ago but has not been forthcoming on details.
The long delay has led to numerous press articles on the subject. The Times has reported that up to 10,000 jobs are expected to go.
This has all naturally led to speculation and rumor.
Here are some other rumors currently in circulation…
Some people apparently are whispering about cullings of 20-30% in Rijswijk and head office in The Hague…
EVERYONE in EP, with just a few exceptions, will have to reapply for their jobs…
OTHER RUMORS…

Investigation said to have started at Shell Deer Park Refinery & Chemical Plant into people taking kickbacks from a contractor. We have the contractors name…
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.
