L48. Three other Fortune 25 oil companies lured me away from the incumbent to add value to theirs; BP management lays me off because application of what I have to offer creates work, then gets a bonus for doing so. Not a successful management style.

Most managers and other people these days seem ultra busy, going to meetings, and answering emails at lightening speed while pretending to be busy and productive.
But what I have experienced and see everyday is that all these emails are just filling time and space. There are people that are smart and everything, but I just don't believe that the work output is really productive to adding value to the corporation.
It's like a bunch of people behaving like tornados, but not being valuable.
I'm young enough to realize that this is a corporate fairy tale, and when the commodities fall in price, that all this whirlwind activity and spreadsheets of information and fancy worded emails and ppts are just a bunch of nonsense.
If people are so busy when nothing much is really going on, that tells me that is just a bunch of charade nonsense, bottom line.
I can't believe that I went to engineering school for this. In school, we lear.ed how to solve complex problems. University was challenging.
But BP is just BS. And I don't mean bachelor of science. More like bull cr$p.
Yep, time for me to reconsider. I make good money, but there is more to life than this.
BP will have its first day in a well deserved grave.
It's coming sooner than later.
