Topics regarding layoffs at BP PLC

Not as confident in BP as I once was!

My confidence in BP is not what it used to be. The share price is dire, decisions being made on new leadership are more than questionable, bonuses not to be paid. I am hearing more and more people who are waiting for tier 4+ announcements saying the... — read more

Bad at managing layoffs

I can’t remember if this company has ever been managing workforce reductions less effectively than now. Correct me if I am wrong. There is a lot of unfairness. In my opinion, BP needs better practices in how layoffs are managed but I doubt they will... — read more

How much more work will be expected to do?

I've been through a few BP layoffs before and each time we were expected to pick up the work of those who were let go. All of this with no extra pay, of course. But that can't go on forever. I think I'm done doing the work of three people for the... — read more

How is your efficiency?

Colleagues, in these uncertain times, how do you manage to still deliver what is expected from you? I find it more and more difficult to concentrate on the tasks I should do!

Now the anticipation begins

The worrying, the stress, the anxiety... You know, all the things we need more of in the middle of a pandemic. I really wish that instead of making an announcement that said until the end of the year, they gave us a date and then finished it all at... — read more

Yup, just 2,500 voluntary

Meaning, the rest of us are screwed after all. BP is set to make around 7,500 compulsory redundancies after roughly 2,500 staff – or just over one in ten of those eligible – applied for voluntary severance, according to an internal memo seen by... — read more

BP to Lay Off 10,000 By End of Year

I wonder why its always a round number for layoff news? Was there any sound math or logic used to build up that number of just a tops down number using an average cost per headcount? With 2,500 leaving from Phase 2 EOI does anything think they... — read more

2500 Leaving through EOI

This seems higher than expected and very good news for the rest of us that love our company and want to stay :)

I still like my job

I'm almost ashamed to admit it, but I still enjoy my job at BP. I'm scared of layoffs not because I'm afraid of ending up jobless, I'm confident I can find employment within a few months, but because I don't want to leave this place. I'm thinking I... — read more

BP HR is not on your side

I made a huge mistake of drinking the kool-aid and actually believing the c-ap about HR being there for us and to help us deal with any problems we might have at work. Well, I've certainly learned my lesson - even if the price was rather steep. Don't... — read more

The witching hour

For those who haven't heard, tier 4 leavers will be notified between 11/16 and 11/30. If you're leaving, your severance will be mailed to your house and the 60 day notice begins on the day you receive it.

Not one single company/corporation cares about you...

and bp is no different. It is disheartening to see just how many people are taking the layoffs and reorg as a personal hit and the statements about bp is a sh– company because all of a sudden they are showing they don't care. Newsflash, they never... — read more 

Issue #1

In your opinion, what is the single biggest issue BP is facing right now

Bp Stock

BP stock continues to fall..how long until shareholders/board pull the plug on Looney? When is enough, enough?

Anyone with direct knowledge on the scoring process?

My line manager is a real classy a–hole and has been messing with me since day 1. I know that he will not score me well if he can get away with it. I am wondering if the backstop against any bias happening is real and if it will actually help. My LM... — read more

I hope I'm on the list

Workload is not slowing down and if anything is growing. Even if you survive the reorganization it will be absolutely brutal to keep up the pace of work that will be expected with fewer folks around. Work is NOT being removed it is being added... — read more

bp and Nikola?

So it looks like bp dodged a bullet by learning about some “inconsistencies” at the electric car company Nikola before we signed a deal with them. This is the type of thing that worries me about the judgement of our new leadership.

Restructuring (on the Horizon /sic/)

My guess is that they'll have to announce some kind of structure by end of September. Then they'll have to notify those they'll let go. I thought this was the "60" day period before the employee has to leave. I know they absolutely want... — read more

No future here

I'm pretty sure I'm preaching to the choir here, but I'll go ahead and say it anyhow - there is no future at BP for anybody who doesn't know or is related to the right person or who isn't an expert but-kisser. Nothing else seems to matter here... — read more

It’s BP Week!!!

Aren’t you excited that it’s BP Week, whatever that means? You can watch webcasts of your bosses talk about how they are saving the world by firing people. Yay!

Looney bin spoke in Anchorage

I listened live in person as Looney told the audience of employees that people are BP’s greatest asset. In times like this you find out how important people are to BP - squat . Yeah, which people, Joker ?
