Shell workers face pay freeze, layoffs, job cuts and bonus suspension?

By John Donovan

The article in Dutch printed below is from a Shell magazine – Shell World NL of 03.2009 – delivered last week to Shell employees and retirees in the Netherlands. It announces that some staff will not receive a yearly increase in salary – the general salary round is being frozen for some Shell employees because of the deep economic downturn. 

I understand this means there is a possibility that similar people working in the same room will get a different pay increase. If correct, then there is concern the pain will not be evenly spread.  read more

Comments of former Shell Exec Paddy Briggs on Linda Cook

By Paddy Briggs

There are many who believe that many of Shell’s problems in recent times has come from a growing Americanisation of this historically European company. My experience with senior Americans (Jim Morgan, Steve Miller, Lynn Elsenhans and others) was that they were usually likeable but wholly unsuited to the international character of Shell. The regrettable centralisation of decision making is an American led virus. Linda Cook has no international experience to speak of and she sounds like an archetypal centralising American business apparatchik – the last thing Shell needs just now. read more

Shell hires new finance director after reserves scandal

The Independent: Shell hires new finance director after reserves scandal

By Michael Harrison, Business Editor

25 June 2004

Shell moved yesterday to fill the gap at finance director level caused by the scandal over its mis-reporting of oil reserves by appointing a senior executive from the Swiss engineering giant ABB to the post.

Peter Voser, chief financial officer at ABB, will take up his job at Shell in October and will also join the oil company’s committee of managing directors – in effect its executive board. Mr Voser, 45, spent 20 years with Shell, leaving in 2002 after he was beaten to the job of finance director by Judy Boynton who was brought in from the US film and camera company Polaroid. Mr Voser is now replacing Ms Boynton who was forced to step down two months ago because of the lax internal controls within Shell, which resulted in it overstating its proven oil and gas reserves by 4.5 billion barrels or 25 per cent. read more
