Anyone know how many cuts anticipated in uk, particularly sunbury

I am seeing more and more that people with experience are being exited and replaced by far less experienced people. It is glaringly obvious that experience doesn’t count for much and this is more about who is liked. So many promotions my god. .. —  read more 

Looks like BP k–led the diversity in the organisation with this restructuring. Whilst gender diversity was not impacted, people who are not the typical alpha male/ female that leadership likes the most were worst affected. If you are an introvert... —  read more

Such a bad day.... I hope all of you are ok

Looks like having people worry about being laid off 24/7 is working. Several people I know have quit or are getting ready to quit. I'm pretty sure that's part of BP's tactic: make the work environment so unbearable (with a constant threat of layoffs... —  read more

Should I be worried?? No news hope my line manager isn’t taking so long to make me more anxious :-(

If you aren’t placed in a role, my suggestion is to pick yourselves up quickly. Update your resume/cv, update your LinkedIn, set up job alerts on LinkedIn and apply for roles quickly. Not having them updated can feel like a big hurdle and blocker... —  read more 

So it seems that impacted employees are telling suppliers, who are telling other employees, but employees are not allowed to speak with each other. And so, the rumor mill churns. Very unhealthy. Very unproductive.

Good luck to all. I left the company back in June! Yes it can be scary, but for most the grass is greener!

Of the 10,000 layoffs over half are coming in the US. In just the first 2 days I’ve learned half my team is laid off, over two thirds in Projects, Wells. Obliteration of the upstream to make up for so many tier 2 and tier 3 leaders from the... —  read more
