Thread regarding BP PLC layoffs

HERE ARE THE BIG OIL AWARDS

I've been watching all your boards for a few months and here are the awards from first to worst (posted on all your boards) from Shell to Exxon to BP to Chevron.

1st Place - Chevron - The "Street Fighters with Big Balls Award"

Easy to see why these guys stay on top and the stock market loves them. They will fight themselves and they will fight anyone! Whatever they are they are not passive, and will take what they want and need,

2nd Place - BP - The "I Didn't Do It, We Just Want To Survive Award"

No where is Moncado ever mentioned and these guys just keep chugging along like nothing happened and waiting for their glory to return. Their strategy is working and they will recover with the price of oil. They are moderately aggressive but seem to understand that they need to get by.

3rd Place - Exxon - The "Ignorance is Bliss and We are the 800 Pound Gorilla Award"

They just chug along like no one even knows that the price of oil has crashed and it's just another day at the office for them. Once in a while they get a little boisterous but usually just another hohum day at the X.

4th Place - Shell - "Major Oil Company Cuckold Award" These guys are so passive that you have to wonder how they ever lead the race (a long time ago) in deep water and how they ever even managed to do something as aggressive as drilling a hole in the ground. You get the impression that they not only watch their women being done, but they pay others guys to do them!

Thanks for the entertainment guys, keep it coming!

You have to remember that it was not too long ago the company implemented a system to get a number on headcount. How can they let you go, it they did not know you where there? Often wonder, how long it will take London management to figure out my manager would activated Lync; walk away as if she was in a meeting; come back and listen to podcasts; then send a note to the team asking what have they been doing so she could report back to the other continent.

Who? BP less layoffs? What? Count all the rounds from 2014 until now including all BUs and it sums up to 12% total global force in round numbers
