CEO tells the truth for once
Not been careful with shareholder capital… Yah think?
Share price

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

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

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).
