What is so important that Bernie is having a meeting this week for all Group Level Leaders in Abu Dhabi? Wonder how much that will cost.
Hydrogen.
Great article from FA on hydrogen learnings. Amazing that we decided to learn about it after making it a big part of strategy and building a very highly paid team round it. Key learning - essentially we don’t have any place being in it and it makes... — read more
Raises vs Inflation
How did your raises this year compare to inflation?
Supply and Trading Group
Hello, Can anyone provide insight into working in the supply and trading group (power retail) at BP? Looking for any information anyone can provide specifically targeting departmental culture, technical capability, and work culture. Thanks.
13th anniversary of deepwater horizon
Just thinking back at all the good people let go over those years as the company dealt with the outcome of the inept GOM exploration team at the time.
Remote work
Does BP offer any kind of remote work for their non-field personnel? Thinking of applying but remote/hybrid work is a perk I’m not willing to lose
EX BPX President now CEO of Ineos
What are your thoughts?
BP Target Bonus
I got an offer at BP (Level G) with a 20% target bonus and was told the last couple years the actual bonus ranged from 40-60%. Can anyone comment on this? Would you guess the next one to two years will be around that range? I was also told BP bonuses... — read more
FA.
Why do I keep having to see FA in the press talking about hydrogen! Guy totally missed the mark in Brazil and destroyed 10 years of work penny pinching us out of Mexico on trion. Another that’s delivered nothing
Dave Lawlor - Redundant
Dave L., much like his brother, is a Chevy dressed up like a Cadillac and paid like a Mercedes. He literally provides no values aside from being the mouthpiece of Bernard - echoing his every statement. If I was ever asked by someone as to what he... — read more
How is BP's data engineering department
Tech industry is doing many layoffs. BP is still hiring for data engineers. What is data engineering responsible for at BP? Is it a good experience for someone in data science field? How is the pay in data relative to other engineering... — read more
Brits are suffering - sack affinity groups and tax the company 70% - criminals
While the average worker in the Uk makes less thank 80k per year, with inflation running at 10% there are many suffering. This could be alleviated by sacking those at BP running affinity groups, many of which are making $500k+ per year and some like... — read more
Get rid of Bernard?
So Bernard laid off thousands of experienced oil and gas employees and now he wants to pivot back to oil and gas jus two years later? What a waste of resources. He should be shown the door.
BP for sale?
News outlets are speculating that Chevron or Exxon could snap up BP for pocket change given our shockingly low market cap. Thoughts?
Bleeding More Top Talent
More technical staff leaving that were stellar. When will BPX pay better, get rid of the toxic staff, and get back on track? Thoughts?
Energy outlook.
Oh look. The energy outlook matches out strategy almost identically!!! Credibility quickly disappearing.
What are the usual entry level engineer salary ranges for super majors?
I'm curious how much of a difference there is between the super majors like exxon, shell, bp, chevron, etc
Geoff Morrell got paid $8 million for nearly destroying the 150 yr old Disney franchise
Fired former Bp exec got paid over $100k/day to try his hardest to destroy the Disney franchise by instilling his woke ideologies. I can’t help but wonder if Mark Crawford will be the beneficiary of the same good fortune. MC can bring his indelible... — read more

Did we send anyone to the WEF?
When will BPX change its mid management leaders?
These RE and PE managers are under qualified and are super toxic. Some of the VPs need to go too. The morale here is atrocious. Everyone knows it. It doesn't take much to know who the key players are that cause so many problems. They have put under... — read more
BP is a blunt object for the WEF and McKenzie - woke driven layoffs
When MC took the helm as DEI champion I knew legacy employees who generated significant value were at risk of his woke ideologies. While simply a messenger for McKenzie and the WEF, his programs have led to firings of many qualified “majority”... — read more
More People Leaving Soon
They are not listening to the employees. More people are getting ready to walk. They will be back-filled with less experienced people who do less work. The cycle never ends. This is, yet, another warning so you know what you are walking into. I... — read more
Rosneft
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/russia-outlines-plan-unfriendly-investors-165924578.html Will Bernard address this impact on the value of Rosneft or pretend like it never happened? This could end up costing BP billions of ponds in value.
2023 predictions.
BL missed out again on honors list so we will see a continued effort to save the world and spend shareholder money on renewable projects with no returns. At least two execs will leave under misconduct cloud. BPX will be spun off as it’s really done... — read more
We need a new DE&I champion.
We need a new leader in this space - MC is not getting it done and nobody can relate to him. Asians are largely unrepresented so we should start there. There are also too many leaders that are DE&I development projects that cost too much and the... — read more
Stat review
So after 70 years we’re ending this? Does it have any relation to when BL manipulated it completely to set a business case for reinvent? Or is it because that business case has now proven to be completely flawed……
Pulse Survey
Can someone who has actually seen the base data tell me how on earth the Pulse survey results are showing that people are more engaged. I think they have just cherry-picked the results and are hiding the rest but they'd never show the full data set... — read more
BP Layoffs 2023
This thread is for info about potential BP layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Better Options Than BPX
I just left this place and landed a geo role paying 20k more a year and they actually appreciate me. Wish I would have left sooner. I hated the way I was talked to and treated. I reported these issues to Ethics and Compliance but they did nothing... — read more
One off payment
UK one off payment is flat 6% up to Grade F. I am wondering how much this payment is in different regions given it is equitable - US, Egypt, Azerbaijan. Anyone knows?
Grade Level Salaries
Please share yours. Here is my info: US G Upstream - 25 years experience - 225K, not including bonus.
Why is BP such a poor performer?
Safety. Skirt chasing by managers. Personnel selection and development. Lagging share price.
Bpx-A Special Place
I'd recommend getting out of here as soon as you can. There are so many better options waiting for you out there. These leaders don't care about you at all.
Overpaid Again
The funny accounting for the valuation of the Archaea acquisition is complete rubbish. I too have a pipeline of projects and a lot of hope I can sell you. The bankers get rich, the Rice bros get rich, and the bp shareholders and employees get stuck... — read more
Inflation UK
At the UK webcast today, with Bernard and Louise we heard what bp does to back Britain… energy bill support for retail employees, few million on charity donations and new projects in the UK! All these positive, but seems that Bernard was not keen to... — read more

Please I will need your help in deciding which of the above companies to go with. Their offers are similar but I am a little bit confuse as to which one of them which offer better job stability during a low oil price environment without worrying much... — read more
Who is getting fired as a result of the explosion at Toledo? BP’s US CEO, Dave Lawler?
Someone needs to be held accountable. If the same leaders are left in the same seats it will only happen again. Put the orange shirts and empty suits away and put more resources on the line. If BP “cares” the heads will roll. If not, these managers... — read more
