Last week's layoffs came as a shock to many and now I'm having trouble relaxing and believing it's over. I wish there was a way for us to know for sure it's done, but since I no longer trust anything our leadership says or does, I don't think that's... —  read more 

I have never been so embarrassed to be part of an organization as poor as this. The org chart to be shared on Tuesday is an embarrassment, no other O&G operator would allow such nonsense. Great knowledgeable talent will be cut for the sake of... —  read more

I'm so tired of blatant favoritism and nepotism here. hard workers are rarely if ever recognized for their contributions, while people who are mediocre at best get frequent praise and are promoted over the better workers on regular bases. It's all... —  read more

Our cuts in 2016 will be also very spectacular - check out Anglo's board here at &anglo-american-plc

Short straws? 10% of Houston Petroleum staff?

I heard rumors, anyone from BHP has more info here?
