Shell reviews about "manager"

The pay is too low

1. Workplace Politics: Internal politics often overshadow meritocracy, with favoritism and alliances influencing key decisions, promotions, and assignments. 2. Management Challenges: Most managers and so called 'leaders' lack the vision or skills to effectively lead their teams, resulting in micromanagement, unclear priorities, and low morale. 3. Leadership Gaps in India: The current global leadership and India leadership team is often disconnected from ground realities, leading to poorly informed strategies, inconsistent priorities, and a lack of focus on employee well-being. 4. Questionable Promotion Practices: Women leaders are promoted to meet quotas despite lacking the necessary expertise. This undermines team confidence and decision-making quality. 5. Frequent Restructuring and Layoffs: A lack of clear long-term vision has led to frequent organizational restructures and layoffs, creating uncertainty and instability among employees. 6. Limited Career Progression: Growth opportunities are often tied to internal networks rather than merit or performance, leaving many talented individuals feeling undervalued and demotivated.

Very little job security. Management seems to value project managers over the technical, and this has lead to huge missed opportunities including exiting Guyana.

The problem with working in IT are the sheer volume of bullies. I’ve been sexually harassed, called names by men who were incapable of taking any direction from a female, told there are rumors about me and people don’t like me in the LT but never given specifics. It’s standard practice that others take credit for your work. Every year I kill myself for this company and every year my manager finds a way to put me down. “Reality is perception” so you can’t even stick up for yourself. I try so hard and get good reviews but they make sure you are constantly put down so you keep kissing up and can never feel good about your accomplishments.

I worked at Bluebell hill SHELL and the managers treat staff like animals have no concept of empathy or anything related. I once message my manager concerning receiving devastating family news during a shift requesting to go home early or immediately , I was told she couldnt find anyone to cover and when I followed it up with something along the lines of me being really sad she went "i told you! i dont have anyone"

Working long hours on your feet

Customer base could be difficult to handle at times

Shell People Survey gives employees too much of power. Manager needs to be very careful in communicating message to employees.
