Seriously, is there a chance that this guy is now unemployable? I can't see any of the other oil majors wanting him. Consultancy work? He didn't exactly make a financial success during his time as CEO. I wonder if he will have to start up in business... — read more 

What other decision did the board take at the end of the year?

What do you think of BL being “terminated” today versus having resigned?

The cost of loving for BL is punative. A Google search will provide you with the news from the media worldwide. Who on earth will employ this guy?

Non-employee here. Why is BPX looked down upon relative to other BP subsidiaries globally. Also, is BPX, generally, more "woke" than other units? I get that impression from reading other posts.

How do BPX employees feel about the promotion? He has a reservoir background and has risen fairly quickly in the BPX ranks from SVP to COO. He was also employed by Sandridge along with DL. Would new global leadership bring new face to BPX ceo? — read more

An excellent article has just been published by the Financial Times regarding the corporate culture at BP and how it ignored BL's conduct. It is entitled 'How BP's 'Sun King' Court Enabled the rise and fall of Bernard Looney.'

Headhunters appointed to find next CEO. Strangely enough, investors said to be keen on MA!?! He has the personality of a lamppost.

We are returning to our pre-reinvention staffing levels, and achieving our '25 targets is becoming increasingly challenging each day. It's evident that there will be a significant focus on realignment and potential staff reductions in the coming... — read more 

Is it some award bp invented and let some management people give to their favorite employees? More of a nepotistic award?

Can some finanace type give a short summary of BP’s profitability v/s other majors. From where I sit: legacy assets are in decline exploration has been unsuccessful recently upstream projects currently in execution have lower profitability... — read more 

Any updates on new CEO ? In any case, super low morale in bp uk these days - it needs to come soon. I am still shocked by the hr disaster. We don't have successors lined up. Our career evolution system needs serious fixing.

Thoughts on BPX selling off STx? Multiple managers/ supervisors left for Ineos, maybe DL will end up there and pull a move like his brother did with Chesapeake and Continental….. Wells were pushed off the schedule for next year in EF, BPX keeping... — read more 

Is anyone surprised? Of course it’s a failure of leadership, but the cuts will come from employee ranks

M&A? CEO? departures?

Hi all! Is there a known deadline for choosing COBRA and the end date of our current benefits?

How was the town hall today? Did MA actually provide any real information and answer questions directly or just did his sing and dance?

In case you missed it, there’s a CNBC story where Dudley claimed NOBODY KNEW. Lolllll, it’s time to cya. Quote: "I didn't know anything about it and neither did the deputy CEO and others and the board. Should have I known? I don't know. Maybe I was... — read more

The revelation of C-suite shenanigans - exchanging promotions for pleasure - makes one wonder “how many people who were passed over for a job will file employment complaints or lawsuits?”

So, two down, how many more to go?

What do you think about DL’s departure? Related, or coincidence?

How is the flex work policy at BP? Will I be able to remote work during the holiday season since I am planning on visiting parents for Christmas.

Looking at this website, it appears that bp is a sinking ship. bp HR tells me great things are happening at the company. I suppose the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I have been offered a position in the renewables team... Wanted to see what... — read more 

It’s been a few years since BP pushed AI and Robotics. The place should be running itself by now.

Rumor has it, they will incentivize older sll’s to go in 24 so they can take the charges on the books. All in service of making the strategy (failure that it is) look better in 25.

HR knew and should have managed this better.

I find it amazing that I have heard no employees saying they were sad to see Bertard go. I guess his self-centered arrogance didn’t make him many friends within company ranks — other than the young women he was chasing. And many folks are still... — read more
