I've been seeing more people who leave the team chats recently. When I click their profile to see their orgs, I don't see any report chain, not even their manager. When I go see their LinkedIn profiles, their profiles state that they are still working at BP, and many are early-career professionals. Is this common recently?

BP is synonymous with layoffs. They do layoffs every other year. One of the worst majors when it comes to layoffs but the leadership team that makes all the bad decisions get to keep their jobs. While layoffs is very common in the oil industry, BP is very reactive for any swings in oil prices and start laying people off. Not a very stable company to build a career in the O&G industry.
@11j I don’t know about the rest of the world, but layoffs in the US do not require performance justification. They just tell you that the position no longer exists and that they regrettably have to let you go.
What kind of gaslighting did you go through at bp in your feedback to suit the layoff agenda? They decide that they do not like you and then exaggerate a couple of things you said or emailed, create a document trail to justify to SVP and then let you go! Any specifics from us, the naive ones?
No, its all in your imagination
@n5
Removing the bottom 10% is not a layoff but performance management.
My understanding is we’re going to start laying off the bottom 10% every year like EM does.
Yes, they are doing a lot of layoffs in the central teams. It’s just phase 1 as a test and the goal is to completely minimize central support to bare bones because they are a cost center. Lots of modeling work are being transferred to Pune, so if your primary role is modeling in any form, time to make plans.
People don’t update their LinkedIn profiles immediately after getting laid off genius.
Is bp doing layoffs right now?
Have you been living in a cave for the last year?
