Shell has dealt a “devastating blow” to 380 finance workers in Scotland by announcing plans to cut jobs and move functions overseas.
The decision came as official figures showed that unemployment in Scotland had dropped again — although there are concerns about the strength of the labour market.
The oil giant said it intended to close its business operations site on Bothwell Street in Glasgow over the next 15 months.

Nearly 400 British jobs are set to go at Royal Dutch Shell after it announced plans to shut a finance office in Glasgow.
The Anglo-Dutch oil producer said that the office would close in the first three months of 2018, as a cost-cutting measure in response to sharply lower 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.
