FROM A SENIOR SHELL INSIDER
John
I spoke to a few HR people in Aberdeen. Word is out now that in the imminent culling, HR staff (especially those who are familiar with the workers at the coalface) will be let go first. Thereafter the EP people. Clever ploy: in case of disagreements or questions, they cannot contact those HR people anymore. The remainder obviously will have been instructed to stonewall all questions. The picture of Dogbert as a one dog call centre with 8371 waiting customers comes to mind. But to be fair, Dogbert put in the cheapest bid!
In the current round in Shell of MOR (= Managed Open Resourcing, or in plain English How to bamboozle staff and not be faced with telling someone directly he has to leave) there are over 2700 positions. In total more than 9000 staff have applied over 18000 times. And this was for only jobgroup 2 and above. This does not mean that over 7000 will be without a job, it means that lots of people in jg3 and 4 must have applied too in the hope of scoring a promotion. Around now the postings for jg3 will be posted. You cannot believe how total the mess is. Governments cannot handle properly the mass migration that is taking place the last few years. And neither can Shell handle this mass round of applications. The difference is that Shell designed it themselves!!! And then to think that before Hofmeister arrived, we had the best resourcing system in the world. Even Hofmeister admitted that. But it never stopped him from wrecking it. I fear for accidents and other great mishaps because it is very clear that people are pre-occupied with keeping their job or scoring a job they want.
Voser is putting pressure on the process and wants it finished before Xmas. He is a very empathic, touchy feely person: he wants to reduce the stress and avoid uncertainty over the holiday period. What a kind man. He knows that People are our greatest asset and treats them as such . But could it be he is a cynic like Dogbert and wishes to get it all over before end of year so all costs go to 2009 and can be fully blamed on v.d. Veer?
I would not bet against this. Just curious when he will sort out the real baddies such as Brinded and his band of cronies.
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.
IN JULY 2007, MR BILL CAMPBELL (ABOVE, A RETIRED GROUP AUDITOR OF SHELL INTERNATIONAL SENT AN EMAIL TO EVERY UK MP AND MEMBER OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS:
