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

Inflation bonus/salary increase
Over the last couple of months lots of companies have announced paying a one-off bonus to employees or giving an inflation matching salary increase, e.g shell in the... — read more
Heard the CFO was kicked out of BPX
What happened?
Chevron vs BP vs Oxy
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
Cost cutting goals are ambitious without reducing headcount.
Heard recently that bp is trying to reduce costs by 20% YoY… Switching to a cheaper coffee for the office isn’t going to help enough. How else will they reduce the cost of business without cutting contractors and employees?
Hires from big software companies
BP hired some people from big software companies. Has it helped the company? Is software work at BP similar to that of a pure software company? BP probably offered very good compensations to these people.
What are the places to avoid working at in BP (if possible)?
BP is not uniformly bad. There are places where there is still a good work culture/environment/balance compared to others. What are the undesirable areas, BUs, departments? Why?
GLCE. Wastes of money
Hoping A-I can get to grips with these awful investment made under DS. Financial noose for years. Need to clear house with the heads of the divisions, we’ve got people running these that don’t even know what a particle is. Finance team should be... — read more
Should I join? Offer from another OnG?
Been regularly reviewing the layoff ever since the covid restructuring hit the industry in 2020, and have been an interested observer of BP looking over the fence from my current position at EM. Regarding UK based employees, what are your thoughts... — read more
Tabloids
Can we please figure out how to get a CEO that can keep themselves out of the tabloid press. Enough already.
False flag
Rumors about cost cutting were planted by St. James, so they can blame the false rumors for the bad Pulse results. The reality is reinvent was mismanaged and employees are not happy about it. Bernie wants to place the blame on something else. Later... — read more
Latest layoffs news
Can anybody share what's going on with layoffs? Is anything coming?
Spending cuts
My boss told me there are going to be 12% spending cuts y-o-y for the next few years. Is this for real??? We just had record profits, and laid off 20% of employees two years ago!!! I’m doing the work that three people used to do. How does this make... — read more
How can we improve?
I'm a representative for the company. I'd like to know how we can be better? Why are so many leaving? Instead of ranting I'd kindly ask for true and constructive feedback. What solutions need to be implemented? What part of the buisness is having... — read more
Why is that?
I really love my job and that's why I really don't understand why our superiors don't like to hear ideas or suggestions how some things can be done better. It is absolutely demoralizing.
