The trotting out of Hawaiian shirt as CEO’s closest confidant and right hand man in the early days of Oxy takeover of APC was a huge catalyst in our realization that Oxy was seriously amateur hour and we were doomed. Oxy realized at some point how much damage had been done and quietly tucked him away. I just realized he’s still here. Come on VH. You can do better.

True, she does depend on him for emotional support so that’s why he’s still here. Chazen wishes he would have fired him when he had the chance.
A clown is a clown, so interesting, only at Oxy. No where else! Thank-god the company is solvent and will survive.
Sometimes people end up in the wrong jobs. That might be the case here.
He cares more about his $250K boat that takes to Florida than this company, thats for sure. He is just milking it. 6 Years later and VH still depends on this clown for emotional support! Come on, for Petes sake, even Chazen had to comeback so Uncle Icahn felt comfortable with an adult in the room. Clown Bentley failed at integration of this companies. Sorry LAPC folks, the transition to CVX was going to be seamless, with Oxy y”all just have seen less 😟
Doomed? I believe that is the 311th time someone on this site has predicted this. You would have more credibility if you dropped the hyperbole.
The complete failure and CONTINUED disintegration of accountability within IT services falls squarely on him. It’s mind boggling.
He will be the next CEO.
