Shell is offering office personnel earning more than €75,000 a voluntary package to leave the company, the AD says on Wednesday, quoting union and company sources.
The company hopes this will enable it to cut the workforce by hundreds of jobs without launching an official reorganisation, the paper says.
The offer has been made to staff at Shell’s training and R&D centres in Rijswijk and Amsterdam as well as at the Shell HQ in The Hague and at NAM, Shell’s natural gas joint venture with ExxonMobil.
Staff at the Pernis petrochemicals plant are not included because there is a shortage of skilled staff, the AD says.
Office jobs
Sources told the paper Shell hopes between 15% and 20% of its office staff will leave. Shell has a workforce in the Netherlands of some 10,000.
The AD says Shell has confirmed it has started a ‘selective, voluntary redundancy’ process.’ ‘This is part of the earlier announced plans to cut our workforce by 10,300,’ the company said.
Shell, which posted an 80% drop in net profit last year at $3.8bn, says it has to cut costs because of low oil prices.

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.
