Shell keeps popping up here....and if one "knows" Shell Aviation and the people it poaches from its contractors who know they might one day wind up back at their old home grounds...knows how it really works....well...one would not hold them up as a role model.
Far too many instances of seeing bamboo backed brown nosers nuzzling out a cozy gig....playing the game while at the Operator....then instantly becoming blind and deaf upon changing shirts after signing on with Shell.
Seeing folks who not only cannot think outside the box.....hell fire they don't care to do so as they are quite comfy inside the box.
Back Bones atrophy when the spectre of losing a fat pay check and excellent perks looms if one pushes on the cardboard.
Shell is not the only outfit that suffers from this malaise.....it is a matter of degree amongst all of them....except for those who just don't even pretend to be something they are not.
Bit caustic my attitude perhaps but formed over many years in the offshore market with more than one operator and a swoop of oil companies.
When I see the same standard maintained by an Oil Company no matter which country in the World it is operating....then I will sign on to what I consider mere propaganda at this point.
