Nightmare Confessions of a Former Shell Consultant | Informer

@@giovanna-sf You need to educate yourself about what “working in the industry” means, and the different jobs associated with that industry. I am a paramedic, does that mean I am part of the U.S. Healthcare problem? What these oil companies are doing to the Earth is atrocious, but the fact that you suggested someone that works in the industry is “part of the problem”, makes it obvious that you don’t fully understand the problem.

My mom worked for 30+ years in the petrochemical industry. She recently told me about how the *FBI* would show up for some leaks and work site incidents and tell the employees they were not allowed to tell anyone what happened. She said it so casually that it gave the impression of it being a fairly normal occurrence. She also said those incidents would never make it on the news despite having an inevitable effect on the community. The town i grew up in Houston is so heavily polluted. A lot of people i grew uo with are sick cuz of it. I'm infertile and disabled with a non-hereditray genetic condition. My whole family is healthy but me but I'm the only born and raised on the gulf coast Houston and the only one born inside a chemical plant. These plants would push propaganda through elementary school outreach programs and buying ads in our high school year books. Our sports fields and uniforms would be bought for by exxon, shell, chevron, dow, dupont, etc. We have been groomed to accept the petrochemical plants as a blessing despite them killing us on the process. Ive got roughly 10 years left if I'm lucky.

@@ponchito97 la porte, deer park, Pasadena, and Baytown. Essentially the entire area surrounding the ship channel from Galveston Bay up to the 610 Bridge all along hwy 225 and then moving along the coast to Texas City. Never noticed til now that those of us who grew up in the petrochemical industry tended to gravitate to the petrochemical towns. I mean, all our parents worked at the plants or ship channel and there is a marked culture and economic shift when you go to the towns just outside the area like League City and clear lake despite being just next door. 🤔 Also gott consider the ship channel. My dad worked on the barges and tug boats. The water out there is unbelievably bad. A friend and I felt wild and jumped in the water once. We came out covered in a thin shiny film.

[@ithilpalladium]

Well ChatGPT was trained on data available on the internet, which includes all the generic PR statements like this companies have made for decades. But yeah this was probably created by a team of PR people at Shell, vetted by their lawyers and approved by a VP. I'm sure Shell does have all kinds of trainings, safety policies and officials in place doing what they say in their statement, but a lot of lower level site managers ignore it and even site level workers have a "be a man, work hard, don't complain, and safety rules just make things harder" mentality. Also, like mentioned in the video, contracting companies are used so Shell can say they did their part for their employees but they have no control over contractors as a loophole.

[@ithilpalladium]

Do not believe oil companies when they talk of investing in green energy. What they are doing is buying out any companies and technologies which could hurt their bottom line. They ”run it” for a while (keep it in a limbo) until share price drops, which it inevitably does because oil and gas is a very volitile sector, and make ”emergency neccesary budget cuts” scrapping all the green energy projects they bought up. BP did this just a few months ago

So what happens next is that all these contractors would be understaffed and all site workers would be underpaid.

Perhaps we wouldn't be this deep into trouble with Climate Change if there was some justice in the sector early on, but now humanity pays with well deserved karma. If anyone ever asked him/herself why these companies don't do even the bare minimum considering Climate Change which is and will increasingly affect all of us in the future - the corporate culture the informer is talking about there is exactly why. No one tells them what to do, they do whatever they want, and they won't stop doing it ever if they can. And because of how privileged this class is, they are the last ones to die from their actions, so they really don't care. It's all about profit over everything.

They'll use the alternative the same way

In an ideal world, we would all start using water-fuelled hydrogen engines, at a fraction of the cost. But the profits are not there for corporations, so the idea has been shelved. Leaving us with fossil fuels and exploding fire-prone electric cars. And videos like this one. The options are there, we have the technology to create virtually free transport for everyone, but not enough profit in it. Showing we have a bad addiction to money, NOT fossil fuels.

Those are the real thieves.

No wonder I saw and felt something evil and wicked behind the brand. I use Arco, Sam's Club, or CostCo gas instead.

I can believe the 31 days on, one day off, work schedule. I have heard of terrible human rights violations, especially in Saudi Arabia. I bet their bosses are making shedloads of money, yet they're literally working their employees to death.

[@loraneilson1698]

Just goes to show how the shell company has been paying ppl off for yrs. Sad so sad.

[@off_mah_lawn2074]

Crazy. This is unbelievable

[@Barbooskie]

98% of the people who watch this episode will continue using fossil fuels

[@Hinchy1a]

100% - everyone is using fossil fuels in some capacity

[@kenosabi]

More then 98%. If you woke up and turned on the lights..good chance somewhere it came from oil.

It’s impossible to stop 🙄

The owners of the land must file a lawsuit with fifty zillion zeroes for the atrocity committed by these multinational companies against the Indigenous peoples.

[@whowhatwhydoyouknow]

Lot of people who blindly support these companies in the comments for some reason??

[@nguyenthu3463]

Power of money is way more important than the death of our planet and people

[@troypropes1182]

The only way to stop it is to stop making money for them. The people have and always will have the power when we band together to collectively stop using these products, stop working their jobs, drive your car way less(if feasible). These companies have created an entire society that is run and built using oil products. Unfortunately, that means we have to tear down this one to give a better one a chance.

[@shutinalley]

It's not profit for them, it's control. But it's slipping through their fingers.

[@jtremblay100]

The people who speak up then the ones who go after them are the problem. The ones who enable this system.
