Thread regarding BP PLC layoffs

bp: where culture cracks and clocks start ticking

Spotted: a once-mighty corporate empire teetering on the edge of its own contradictions. After sweeping layoffs, the remaining employees are left juggling heavier workloads, thinner resources, and a shiny new “way of working” that—surprise—just isn’t working. The halls whisper of burnout, while inboxes scream urgency, and morale quietly slips through the cracks. Efficiency? Innovation? Collaboration? Please. When survival mode becomes the daily dress code, even the most loyal insiders start wondering if leadership is actually watching… or just missing the point entirely.

And now comes the latest twist: employee tracking. Yes, tracking. As if productivity can be measured by the minute hand of a clock and not the brilliance of a mind. Word on the floor is that time spent in the office will soon be monitored like wildlife in a nature documentary, proving once and for all that leadership’s priorities are spectacularly backwards. Because nothing says “we trust you” like surveillance, right? If they truly believe that counting hours instead of cultivating culture will spark performance, then someone clearly skipped the memo on modern work.

@bx In projects most people work in contractors offices or sites and in fact prefer to. That's why the project floors are always quiet.

@OP 3-days a week in office is law of the land. It is generous considering many companies are going back to 5-days a week in office (Exxon is 5 days, chevron is moving to 4 days).

Either get in the office 3-days a week or please get yourself a different job. Don’t ruin it for the rest of us.

You clearly don't work in projects. Tumbleweed is blowing through those offices.

Houston BP is about to experience how low morale and terrible middle management corrode a company worse than any competitor. GoA is experiencing integrity issues which will manifest itself as delivery and in OPEX

Dude, at Westlake they’re already tracking us - when you badge in, when you badge out and every card reader you use in the building. Your department head gets a report of it every month. If you’re just figuring this out now, it’s probably too late for you.

Looks like someone's found copilot.
