I can't get anything done unless I do a minimum of 60+ hour weeks. I'm tired.

Over the last two years, I’ve watched bp stand up a major India hub and enter a $1.5 billion, 5-year deal with Infosys. This was sold internally as a bold strategic shift — one that would centralize delivery, reduce costs, and future-proof our... — read more 

A couple of years here? Sure - if you’re saving up and planning your escape. Otherwise? Jesus, this place is just awful. If they could, they’d have you working 24 hours a day. My manager is a screaming pile of arrogance, incompetence, and disrespect... — read more 

Anyone else from BP recently denied severance benefits after the layoff citing Code of Conduct violation? Looking to connect and understand how widespread this is

It’s already widely known that BP is planning to sell Castrol. So I’m wondering, why did the leadership recently set up a new Technology Digital Delivery team that’s focused on Castrol projects (along others like CRM) under the new re-org for... — read more 

I write this as today my Line Manager told me I need stop being helpful in the organisation and start following the department goals. HIS manager had dictated this upon him also. Minute I told my spouse....his reaction so you have to perform so your... — read more 

What did y’all think about the Chat with KD? I thought there was a lot of talking but not much new information.

Current Chevron employee here, about to receive a job offer from BP in Houston. I am leaving Chevron because of the unbearable toxic environment that the recent reorg has created. But I haven’t been reading many encouraging things here either. Am I... — read more 

Does this signal bp’s intent to be acquired by Shell? We already have a CFO as our CEO, and we’ve seen how that’s working out, so we can assume this is not to bring “Industry Expertise” to the bp board like the media coverage said. — read more

There are more rumours on upcoming rounds of layoffs. When do you think this will be coming - is it probable to even start a new round this year?

All cut to fund exec bonuses. More layoffs are coming, so if you’re still here, maybe ride it out for severance.

May be it’s just me, but the recent announcement by shell that it is not in ‘actively’ considering any take over and thereby invoking a 6 month FTSE rule baring it from such (subject to various qualifying criteria) is actually more a statement of... — read more 

Micromanagement? Check. Silent layoffs? Check. “We’re a family” speeches right before cutting benefits? Big check.

Sam Laidlaw, the former chief executive of Centrica, is out of the running to be the next chair of oil major BP. Laidlaw, who stepped down as chief of the British Gas owner in 2014, has told associates he withdrew from the process as he thinks BP... — read more 

Reuters has reported that bp’s debt is actually a lot larger than published through some neat accounting and it’s that that is dissuading would be suitors. Ok, get that. So, with our efforts to reduce our debt e.g., castrol divestment, are we not... — read more 

Can we for a change lay off those who contribute basically nothing and are not even trying? A guy I work with who's been here for a decade still can’t run basic reports. Meanwhile, the rest of us pick up his slack working late. How does he survive... — read more 

Has anyone heard that it's been confirmed?

What will it be? 70-75%? We are so sc--wed. Bad time to look for another job.

Bit surprised not to see anything on this after today's uk webcast, given the backdrop following this weeks wave of technology / digital reductions and other functions, not sure this would of even gone ahead or not

US and UK technology layoffs get announced today to affected employees. It's going to be hard both to tell the results and wait to receive your own result. May the force be with you!

Today is the judgment day for Technology. What was your outcome, how did you react and what's your next step?

I am in technology and my LM has scheduled a notification meeting with me on Monday morning. I’m so anxious about it and I cannot sleep. I wish they would have not scheduled it beforehand and just called me sporadically. Having a day and a time just... — read more 

Now people - who seem to be in the know -are saying the company is strategically selling off pieces to become more appealing for takeover. Look for more chatter about potential divestments in the news.

XRG going to buy the tangguh and M&S! Why don’t we just get BL back on the board?

I wish I was joking. At least I know the outcome now.

I learn my fate next week. I’m turning off, unplugging and not thinking about it this weekend. For anyone else in this position, I wish you the best.

It is so fatiguing to having to listen to yet another move to go back to a system that was changed. These crows should not be with the company anymore...

You can see how they're embarrassed as they song and dance through the BS resetting performance webcast. This company didn't need a new performance management system. It needs a new LT.

There is not has not been anything in the media about bp takeover rumors for about a month. I'm guessing the rumors really had no substance to them.

Does anyone else feel like the constant movie references, inside jokes, non-professional, goofy approach that S.H. brings to the company is ridiculous? No wonder people are leaving. S.H., when you're the only one laughing at your own d-mb comments... — read more 

I thought the global safety leadership seminar was quite useless and a proper waste of time. Seems like a bunch of leaders listening to themselves talk and rehash over again. Anyone see anything different?
