Not what it used to be - Avaliação de funcionários no cargo de Funcionário(a) sigiloso(a) na empresa Shell

Internal politics means often not much gets done Progression depends more on “playing the game” and “talking the talk” than actual work/contribution. Have seen some people getting promoted taking credit for others’ work and blagging, not very capable themselves. Progression much easier for certain types of people. Not to say you can’t get promoted for doing good work. But after a certain point, little to no career progression… unless you love to ‘network’/play office politics (and little else) for a living. I’ve seen great managers / senior leaders brought in from outside, only to be “Shellified” by the machine after some time.. Some rare gems at middle and senior management, its hard and they try, but Very difficult to change the system. Reorganisation every few years Strategy with new CEO is short sighted and focuses on stock price. Job security is not what it used to be - so many job cuts in all departments, despite record profits. Future strategy and direction unclear/ uncertain/ lack of transparency. Lack of integrity - For past decade have touted themselves as leaders in future sustainable energy - now essentially cutting down all renewable energy departments. Less and less care/respect for employees in recent years. A lot of colleagues getting unfair treatment, cutthroat culture for past 1-2 years due to cuts. HR being told to avoid redundancy payments as much as possible. Gone are the days of the gold Rolex after a lifetime of service! Now, you can go on the company shop website and buy one with your own money. If you don’t first suddenly get made redundant after 10, 20, 30 years of service that is…
