Has anyone else been offered a higher title but no extra money? It feels strange to get more responsibility without a raise. I’m curious if this happens often or if I’m just unlucky.

"Work is what you make it" is a hit from the band Chat Chat's first album named The Colour of bP's Stock Chart.

Over the last two years, I’ve watched bp stand up a major India hub and enter a $1.5 billion, 5-year deal with Infosys. This was sold internally as a bold strategic shift — one that would centralize delivery, reduce costs, and future-proof our... — read more

All cut to fund exec bonuses. More layoffs are coming, so if you’re still here, maybe ride it out for severance.
