Shell reviews about "layoff"

Large layoffs occur every several years. Sometimes lacking in support of personal development.

Very competitive workers. Lots of restructuring and layoffs.

CEO and management walk differently than they talk. Layoffs in secret programs that are obviously discriminatory. Attitude is "prove it".

So much corporate politics and bureaucracy. Hard to get things done. Seems like there has been a "re-org" and layoffs every 2-3 years since 2015. Many high flying managers get shuffled around quickly and by the time they get to upper management, they haven't ever really stayed in any part of the business long enough to see all the cost cutting measures they took start to backfire. Continuous shift towards treating our projects and engineering/staff as a simple generic commodity that can be outsourced to shorter term contract workers, and HVEC (High Value Engineering Center) aka low cost places. IT and HR was completely gutted and outsourced, it's a nightmare now trying to get help from those support functions.

401k matching is low for the industry - especially for experienced hires. Massive layoffs in 2021 resulted in overworking remaining employees.

frequent layoffs of the employers

Job stability is very shaky. Constant reorganizations and mass staff layoffs.
