Is all came out in the news, not a secret.
As said before, try working overseas first and you will understand why I dare to generalize those mat salleh are racist arsholes

Agreed

Sure got the reason as the working atmosphere are changed over the years.
That's why they are giving "high" salary to attract people. But then after take people, they start to do retrenchment.
Not to mention the office politics inside, on par with our politics, complicated.
And with current economy downturn, they will protect their own ars first rather than our ars.
Shell been selling their assets for the past 5 years to make their record nice. But with the money saved, still not enough 1 time wastage of buying another problematic O&G company for 70B dollars.

Feel so lucky never join them even tough i have their offer.

Oil well reserves in Malaysia are limited, the production won't be on par to what Middle east are doing.
I can open another 20 wells in Malaysia, but again with current weak market, for every barrel being dig out, I may be losing money.
Australia also giving fair competition to all, but yet Shell still sells their refinery in Australia.
This is nothing to do with local government's policies, is more on keeping the book nice as to continue sucking investor's money.
Shell share in Malaysia are bleeding like nobody's business, from the all time high of rm14 last time, now is at rm5. But at HQ, their share price still remain high.
They already make enough money from Malaysia, so is time to close it down and go to other places.
1 Employee that earning rm6000 a month for them are a burden, but keeping a manager that does nothing for rm60000 are required to stay competitive.

true true. Its not about the government policies, its all about business. Reducing the cost..

any news that it might or might not affect T-System (which used to be the IT arm for Shell)? because my friend is joining the DBA team soon and I might share with him this forum. many thanks!

You are putting salt to people that got injured because of this.
But then this is the current drive.

Dont get cheated by big company name.

What make you think that you are lucky? Because your current job is more secure? 

In fact, I have been extremely lucky for decades because of Shell IT. It is not merely monetary, but the culture, safety, management technique and many lessons to learn. 

Shifting to India is not new for Shell. They did it since 2004 by outsourcing their downstream ABAP factory and legacy SAP systems to Wipro and IBM India. That was 11 years ago! Each outsourcing exercises Shell did, after 2004, created many opportunities for local talents to learn, explore and grow. Today, many experienced and well-trained ex-Shell staffs are in big well-known companies holding important positions.

You never know what you miss - because you have not been in the position to view things differently.

well, the things u mention are totally irrelevant.
do u know whenever we see any resume from shell we will just KIV? reason because shell people are too focus on 1 single repetitive task. for example the finance person that i interviewed from shell only know accounts receivable ! she dont know heck about P&L or BS. And yet they are demanding high salary? I could easily hire at cheaper (or i would be more willing to pay higher pay) to those from chinaman company because this finance girl i hired knows almost everything in finance ! since then i never have prejudice towards small company anymore. mind u i am in a german MNC.

don't believe what i said? go ask other MNC whether they would hire shell staff or not. try those companies near you in cyberjaya (not T-system or HP). My excolleague from here who went to AIG practise the same idea as well.

You know Jack, you made a smart move. This is expected in big MNCs nowadays. Everyone wants to cut costs and maximize profits. So, it is better that we don't depend on these big goons so much and start making money through our own business.
