My understanding is it’s the last week/s for many, especially in Technology in the UK.

Words of wisdom from someone who has already left:

1) Use GivingForce and utilise your annual donation amount to your local charity/school etc. Apply using volunteer hours and make sure you use those $$ up.

2) Use energise points!! As long as you have a good relationship with your line manager (lots of which are also impacted), they will approve anything. So talk to your friends in the company, especially those who are also leaving and make sure you send the Sapphire and Platinum awards to each other. If you were smart, you would have been doing this since you were made aware of your situation, but it’s still not too late. Also send one for your line manager if you like them, or have been supported.

3) Use LHH - I found them good for CV review. Better some help than nothing.

4) Any employee match shares will vest ~1 month after you leave. Probably best to keep a little while longer though as it wouldn’t surprise me to see a short term gain in share price before all the job cuts really starts to impact in the next 1.5 years.

5) There is life after BP. BP is a big corporate, and despite the market, are likely to have solid enterprise experience which believe it or not, is quite hard to find sometimes. Take a break, and get back into it when needed. For all its failings and leadership issues, a lot of good work is done by many, and you’d be surprised by just how much you have managed to accomplish despite the internal struggles.

1000 shares each? Beat award equivalent to 50 dollars? Snickers bar?

Things continue to get worse. Forced selling on 9/22 from the index.

Someone just Sold-Dumped 2,058,415 HP Shares Valued at $113 Million.

Looking at Broadcom's insider roster, Hock Tan owns about 1.5M shares which means he probably has like 4-5M unvested.
My guesstimate is that TK very conservatively had 750K shares unvested in 2022 at $44 worth $33M or so. Today they would be worth $190M. There's not a lot of justice in the world but if you look at the glass half full, you'll find some.

Sickening really - those at the top getting insane stock options + bonus's, company making record profits, then they do this!

Any I have been unofficially told by my line manager that we should not expect any bonus/rise or RSU's in this years performance cycle.

Do they not realise its us peasants at the bottom of the tree that are enabling them to make this huge revenue?
