WL1 Propaganda

Has anyone noticed this? Every day that I walk into the lobby and elevators, all you can see posters and signage of how BP is “Investing IN America” while they are laying people off. It is demoralizing. Who thought up this sh-t? It’s literally... — read more

I will not quit

bp layoff strategy

I genuinely do not understand why bp would need 6 months from consultation to notification of laid off employees. 6 months?! In that period all the best employees will find jobs elsewhere because they are uncertain about their jobs! Yes I know bp... — read more

I reached the breaking point a while ago

Being laid off would actually feel like a blessing. The paycheck is the only thing that’s kept me from leaving, but personal costs are piling up—fatigue, chronic stress, no personal life, dissatisfaction, you name it. It’s just not worth it. We’re... — read more

New employees
