When does bp sell Travel Centers of America?

You’ve got this
I hope that anyone who has anxiety or stress about the possibility of being laid off or being “percented” finds peace. This company is failing and desperate to satisfy investors. It really isn’t you, it’s bp. Leadership has failed. If you are let go... — read more
There are too many folks with purposeless roles
Why are we paying people to sit in meetings where nothing is ever decided and laying off good folks who actually do the work here? BP has plenty of fat that needs to be cut, but somehow it's never them who end up on the chopping block. When will that... — read more

North Sea Sale
I read there is high interest in BP's NS assets. I imagine that everyone wants to expedite the sale, especially the affected employees. It will be very beneficial to work for a company that values the assets and employees and considers them a core... — read more
What is the most stressful part about working here for you?
For me it's the ever-present threat of layoffs. Everything else I can take.
Facing layoffs and 10%
I wonder if leadership understands the position they’ve put employees in now that we are facing the possibility of being laid off AND cut for being in the bottom 10%. Being laid off means it’s not due to your performance - your role just doesn’t... — read more
What's the situation with PIPs?
How often are they given out? Throughout the year or is there a specific period when they put people on them and the rest of the year is safe?
Technology webcast
Is it possible that leaders get worse and worse? I thought we’d reached the bottom of the barrel but this was a new low for webcasts. Remember….key message….you should look forward to being sold as you may get more money in your business…and…. I’m... — read more
Does bottom 10% get severance?
Will people in the bottom 10% in the US get the standard severance package? Or will it be considered “fired for cause” and you get something less (or worse nothing).
What happened to quality of life?
I was watching TV, and saw a workplace where people showed up to an office where they had their own desk, in some cases an office, where they interacted with their team in the physical world, where in person meetings were the norm, and where the job... — read more
PSA: don’t use your work phone to visit this site.
It goes without saying but just a friendly reminder during the reorg. Big brothers are watching us.

UK hub to India
It appears that the UK hub is being replaced by India and it being made a main technical hub. I guess we did train our own replacements.
Refinery timeline
Does any one have an idea when the reorganization will come to the refineries? I've heard rumors of October but if they announce the new chart then I don't know if layoffs will happen then or after the first of the year.
Collaboration
How’s is everyone’s team building, collaboration, and efficiencies improving with the anti-WFH initiatives in place while having half of your core working group in Pune?
The middle management maze
There are just too many people between the work and the results. Managers of managers, directors of nothing, and their only real skill is creating more meetings and more politics. They think they're helping, but they're really just slowing everything... — read more
Bp making a lot of deals
We have been in the news so much as of late as we are making deals left and right. I have a good feeling about the direction we are heading in.
Problem shift - bpSolutions to Upstream
So help me understand, they got rid of bpSolutions and instead have instead made a big central organisation under Upstream HSE & Ops. One VP pre reorg to 6VPs post re-org. Surely the cottage industry has just shifted to satisfy some power hungry and... — read more

Start living below your means
So many spend like the job will last forever. I think that more frequent layoffs have made it clear that's not the case. I know a few folks who're now panicking because their savings are nowhere close to where they need to be in case they lose their... — read more
The unfortunate 10%
Wondering what might happen to the 10% that were placed in bottom ranking group. Will they automatically get terminated? Will they get severance? In most cases placement was probably due to performance but have heard of a few cases where managers... — read more

Does anyone know how to get a copy of our most recent severance policy? I have an idea of what it was back in 2024 but dont know if it has changed recently.
Videos with OA
Omg these take two with OA videos is so cringey. Wtf are we even doing???
Employee Apathy
I’m only working for this company now for the pay cheque. Motivation is at an all time low, as little as 2-3 years back I was pretty keen. All I’m doing now is digging in as long as I can to maximise the payment to see me out the door. Who else... — read more
When will we know?
I have heard some people already know that they are being let go. Has everyone being laid off been told? I just want to understand the timeline and process. The uncertainty is so distracting.
Over 50?
Prepare to be shown the door. Turning 50 is like putting a target on your back here.
Office tracking dashboard
I’m checking the dashboard. I am at 57.4% for some reason. I am in compliance every other week except one week where I came into office one day, had two home days, had used sick leave one day, and had an approved non office work day. Why would... — read more
Aberdeen Office
I do not see any business case for keeping any Aberdeen office open after the asset sale. Any remaining employees can relocate to London to lower overhead.
Hiring Shell Wells Engineers
Shell employee here. We have lost a handful of wells employees to y’all over the past few years, and 3-4 DW drilling engineers the past few weeks. Why? Are you having natural attrition and need to backfill? Are there new projects that demand it? Or... — read more
