Thread regarding BP PLC layoffs

How Do I Fix It?

I've benefited from my connections to leaders at BPX who propped me up and propelled my career forward faster than it should have been. I'm not stupid. I know my connections got me promoted. I also know everyone around me sees it too.

I never wanted to hurt anyone and I'm frustrated now because noone trusts me and I know I'm not liked. My intentions were never bad. Anyone in my shoes would have taken the opportunities if they were presented with them.

How can I get things turned around? I know a lot of people don't trust or respect me. I've not wronged them in any way though.

This really su-ks because I rose to the occasion and I am qualified now for the role I'm in. What do you recommend I do to help improve morale here at BPX? How do I help turn things around?

I was recently reprimanded and shown a laundry list of complaints about me from HR that I had no clue about. I'm pretty frustrated. How did things get this far out of hand?

OP lacks self awareness and is totally clueless. Playing victim now if this is true. People don't risk their career to complain to HR just for the fun of it to make you look bad unless it is serious. Once your reputation is shot, you will have no credibility except with the cliche you are in.

This story sounds about right. I know multiple leaders at BPX like this. They have no awareness of the name they have made for themselves in industry.

Around two years ago things reached a boiling point, and I started watching all of the good people leave. Very unfortunate. Were you one of the ones that caused all of these issues?

If so, then you need to start making it right by stepping out of your little favoritism circle building back trust by investing in the marginalized people who are more qualified than you.

Drop your ego and be confident enough to start giving others a chance to shine. You've had enough sunshine.

Assuming you aren't a troll.

Try to address the complaints. Treat people with respect; you have to earn it, no title of amount to money get you the respect of your peers. This is a good start.

I guess I had this coming. Probably not the best venue to ask this question.

Bye

Probably best to leave and go to a new company where you don’t have a bad rep. Your title should secure you a similar level position elsewhere.

How can you say you’re qualified for the role and rose to the occasion when you have a laundry list of complaints against you? That tells me you are not qualified for the role.

What are the complaints? How are you working on them? How are you ensuring your reporting line you hear them?

I want to be very clear: people go to HR with complaints as a last ditch effort. I don’t know any individual contributor who trusts HR, especially so if their manager is a ‘chosen one’. Having multiple complaints against you is pretty damning.
