    Did they actually fire Shell people? The ones I know of who are no longer there quit on their own after the 2 year salary freeze period expired and had their pay adjusted down to align with CNRL. Much better for them that way since they don’t have to pay out huge severance packages

    I job shopped a bit in the fall and personally found that their comp was very out of touch.

    It didn’t seem to me like they wanted good people, just bodies to do what they are told and stay in their lane.

    Was very interesting. Hiring manager was cute though.

    They have a totally different view of the labor market for technical staff compared to your most recent few employers.

    Probably has something to do with the hundreds upon hundreds of applications they get for every position they post. I know three people still over there (one went over with Devon) and they are all team leads or higher and they are compensated pretty fairly. But I can definitely see us peons getting the short end of the stick there.

    Is there any tools out there to legitimately compare compensation at the producers or is this all just hear say?

    Hearsay is the way. Glass door is not helpful.

    Not really a consolidation but didn’t want to start another thread.

    Activist investor Elliott wanting to shake things up at Suncor including selling off the sales & marketing (petro-Canada) business:

    XTO doesn’t really have any employees.

    They are all seconded from Imperial and Exxon.

    Maybe you see a few people move over, but no “culture” per se.

    I'm aware, I've done lots of work for XTO back in the day and did a stint at Imperial. Any one of their subsidiary companies are just Exxon employees or contractors working in that "division" (Kearl is technically a separate company so same thing) and they all operate out of the Quarry Park campus so its hard to separate yourself there. To run the assets though there will be people going over, maybe not a whole "company" worth of people but there will still be people at least in the short term and those people, having been under the Imperial/Exxon umbrella, definitely have an engrained culture and do things much much differently. Even if it wasn't any people the well files and any documentation for their development is on a whole other level from what any of us are used to. Of course at the end of the day everything will work out, but to say there isn't completely different cultures is crazy.

    Either way, its a big move and one I did not see coming.
