All the people on here claiming they know about layoffs coming are full of it. They just want to create drama. I have been assured by my manager that this is not a headcount reduction exercise. Seriously relax everyone.

Since people here like to repeat unverified information, what are some of the least believable and least credible rumors you’ve heard about the pending transformation?

There seems to be a lot of trolls on here trying to muddy the waters around what is really going on at BP and BPX. Especially, our L48 division. To be clear, this place is toxic. Career progression is limited. There is tons of favoritism. Many... — read more

What I understood is ACB is suffering. New job role hiring in the US/UK are frozen in lieu of filling and moving them to India. Possible layoff coming in the name of efficiency. What else you derive from the Webcast?

Earnings are out this week. What is your guess for the ACB? I’ll go with flat from Q1. 80

You are running us nose first into the ground. What are you doing? I suspect many more will abandon ship very soon. I need to get out of here. Check your attitude, gossip, and mindset. All of us are tired of you.

Wow! Nothing, simply nothing. Just some fluff talk and nothing of a substance. Standard mode of operation, change top leadership and hope for the best, rinse, and repeat.

In light of the innapropriate relationships scandals at Bp and Bpx: With all the wrongful promotions, firings, layoffs, ect. will anyone be suing for discrimination?

As one of the devoted employees swept aside in the reinvent travesty I hold BL and KD personally accountable. Whilst the package came with a settlement agreement the prejudice and unethical behavior of these individuals and the company now means I... — read more
