bp’s leadership and culture is broken. As an employee, I have lost all trust and faith in our c-suite and board of directors. Just imagine how all this looks to institutional investors. At some point they’re going to take their money and invest it with a company that shows it is stable and trustworthy. We are just too much of a risk right now. It feels like we’re living in a reality tv show - the Real Executives of Big Oil. Fire them all and start from scratch. Or just sell the company off.

Employees don’t even trust bp so no.
@g6 she's a member of the board. And the board voted unanimously. So yes, she was consulted.
@b3 Peehaps, Meg was involved in getting rid of him. As CEO, she was bound to have been consulted.
@bj why dont you go ahead and report it then
Christ let’s get on with it then! Working through this sh-t show is taking up too much of my life. Do your reorg or sell the bloody company. I’ve never prayed for enhanced redundancy so much. Put us all out our misery you useless C-suite.
Wells thinks AI and hiring more folks in Pune and now a TSB Brazil will solve our cost issues. UK employees are cheaper than US, Indian, Hungarian, Malaysian (PSCM) and the soon to be formed Brazil equivalent of TSI are cheaper than UK employees. Yet 40% of revenues and cash flow is from US. All it takes is one call to the US Energy Department or Department of Labor. Bp wants to take all the resources and profits from the USA but don’t want to give back to America, yet use our brains, operational blood sweat and tears to fund their ill baked strategies. Most other countries that bp operates in has mandatory national employment as a license to operate, ACG, Oman are prime examples. This is just a corporate way of getting around h1b visas, and it will take the US government another decade to figure this out.
I think this was a shot across the bow for Meg. Basically saying we have a well established BP culture and you better get with the program. We can even take out a Chairman if we want. BP, more of the same.
Meg is restructuring the company so it appeals to traditional oil companies for a sell off + reduce a chunk of workforce.
That's what's happening... but it takes time
The leadership missteps and turmoil has hurt our reputation more than anything else in the past six years.
It’s embarrassing
