in future, Shell will only consists 2 groups of ppl....Business and Business support...business will base in new office in KL sentral...and Business support will base in U-village(another new office) in cyberjaya..basically the new building behind ericsson building....almost everyyr we have OR and MOR lah..keep on chopping ppl...like what TLs said..."get your bag ready to go anytime"...

You shall ask HR abt the benefits as different Job Groups/departments have different allowances..... the standard benefits are medical, dental, optical, car allowance (regardless you own a car or not), hp allowance, broadband allowance, 8 days mandotary courses (external and internal), standby/on-call allowance, flexi working hours, can work from home...if u are in higher Job group then your benefits will be similar to Shell Malaysia Trading which even better (access to use shell's holiday banglows in MY, Housing loan, etc)
Instead of worry abt the benefits, you shall consider if you able always keep your competency levels on par with shell requirements....in other companies, as long u don't resign then you still have your work...but in Shell things change very fast and if u not competent enough then bye bye lor...

working in shell especially in MY is very different from other companies. In other, companies u will get promotion within ur current position and get increament annually even u r in the position for 10 or 20 yrs... E.g. u working as an account in department A, maybe after 5 yrs u will promoted to Sr.Account within department A and so on...but this will not happen in shell (as far i know). In shell, your seniority and title are nothing as JG (job group) is more important and JG is determine by the natural of that position and scope of responsibilities.. So, if you are JG7 in ur current role then forever u will be still JG7 after 10 yrs or 20 yrs as long u still in ur current role. Your annual increament and max salary range also determine by ur JG. e.g. if ur JG max salary is RM8K then once u reach that max level, u will not get anymore annual increament no matter how outstanding you are.
Thus, in order to upgrade or jump from 1 JG to another JG then you must keep on upgrading ur competency levels as every JGs has their own set of competencies . So, some of you may think as long i am happy doing what i am doing now and happy with the salary even there is no increament then u can forget of upgrading ur competency levels then you are wrong. Shell is very active in cost cutting now thus they are merging alot jobs and positions currently(more heads on chopping board) and this is ongoing stuff thus if you are affected and you want to apply other jobs within shell but u are not competent enough so you will treat as redundent and will be ask to leave or VSS.

To summarised, you shall only need to worry abt your competency levels and work hard; shell will take care the rest for you. Remember, you are the one looking for job and keep on looking for jobs in shell

but u get car allowance + parking allowance even you dont own a car wor....why need petrol / toll allowance while u not need go to office everdays or maybe 1-2 days per week.... if u want better salary scale in siham, then keep on upgrade urself with skills that siham wanted...i believe the salary scheme in siham is very good to flush out all the deadwood and underperform staff..

but if u can get transportation allowance + u do not need go to office everyday, so which one u prefer? plus how many companies out there in CBJ willing to give 1K transportation allowance for all its staff? are u working in SBSC@cyberjaya???? because from your reply abt car parking seem like u r not because with the new system staff cant rent the parking anymore wor.....secondly, the shoe polishing...my boss is sleeping while i am working and i am sleeping while he is working thus no time or chance for me to polish his shoe furthremore, career windows open every 3-4yrs so no matter how ur boss loves u also no use because he/she cant give u more salary once u hit ur max salary of ur job group plus your own boss cant even promote u within the job....if you want to shot your boss then shell always provide such oppurtunity for you...i do not see any problem commenting abt my team lead infront of my team lead's boss...it is just matter how you planned your work and work your plan...if everything is recorded and noted then you think your boss can deny it meh....
