@dlzl that’s because bp and other operators pay well, a G engineer makes more than a director at any other company or industry with 100s of directors report, maybe excluding tech . Even with a 10% raise by moving to a rig or service company, bp engineer titles would have to be much higher outside.

Petroleum engineering is still the highest paid major for at least 30 years running.
When you promote the wrong people you start to lose the best people.
Well @dlzl+1tTMjb0A and @1oll+1tTMjb0A I guess you were wrong about that.
@fokt+1tTMjb0A just said otherwise. That's awkward.
You arrogant nepotism benefitting leaders commenting on here that it is normal that we left the way we did are out of touch with reality. I am one of those senior level people and we left for very unfortunate reasons. I won't name them here because I have more class than that but I can tell you there is much more to the story than you are letting on. It isn't because we wanted to be "The" person.
Don't mistake our motivations just because that is your own mentality. I've never visited this site until a friend mentioned it to me and told me about this post.
I must say, I'm pretty appalled and I realize now more than ever that I made the right choice to leave. What a disgrace.
Key people want to be “The” people. Each executive that left bpx in the last 90-120 days have each moved into a more senior executive or ownership position. Normal career progression, nothing more.
CEO left and people who weren’t picked to replace him start looking elsewhere. Pretty typically after any CEO change to see other execs leave within a year.
I left because the the company culture is horrible.
They would rather leave before they are laid off
