What’s the latest with Naperville? I heard there was an announcement last week.

At my age, it’s hard to start from scratch and that’s why I hesitate to quit. On the other hand, I personally haven't heard that anyone regretted leaving.

I hope the price will be above $100 for as long as possible. How long do you think high oil prices will last?

I'm saddened to see how many younger employees hate working here. I can't understand why. The pay is good, the benefits are good, and it's a secure job. Yes, there are occasional layoffs but they are rare enough to be among the lowest in the... —  read more 

I plan to be here just a little longer. True leaders would think about why now that oil is high the morale of employees is as low as it was in the midst of a pandemic when demand had fallen sharply as people stopped traveling. Just saying.

How does the pension plan work in the US? I’ve been with bp for 9 years and I’m 45 yo. How long do I have to stay to qualify for pension? I want to leave but I don’t want to leave money on the table.

So Bernie announced that BP is pulling out of Russia. India has not denounced the invasion of Ukraine while abstaining from UN votes and continuing to trade with Russia. Why in the he-l would you go on a trip to India now during this crisis? A... —  read more

Wow, just wow …

Due to a state law, Colorado posted jobs have to post a base salary range. I see engineering H ranges being 140-175K and G ranges being 150-220K. Most of these are BPX or pipelines. If I am about to be promoted to H, can I use these ranged in... —  read more 

Even $100 oil can’t save us.

I don't like this news at all https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/russia-ukraine-latest-news-2022-02-28/card/ou5Q04spxLqfd4rMdhcs I wonder what the consequences of all this will be for the employees who are worried about losing their jobs. —  read more 

I had posted a thread late last week suggested that "if our purpose is to truly 'improve people’s lives,' it's time for bp to take a stand and stop doing business with Putin." The board did the right... —  read more 

Both Bernard Looney and Bob Dudley sit on the Rosneft board in which bp has a 19.75% share of the state owned company. If our purpose is to truly "improve people’s lives," it's time for bp to take a stand and stop doing business with Putin... —  read more 

Who is going to quit if they don’t get at least a 6 percent pay rise? Which is rate of inflation. I’ll be straight out the door with two weeks notice.

Inflation is 7%, and the company is making giant profits. What good is the news of record profits if we don't have significant wage increases at the same time?

___and been that way for the last 5 years. Honestly, how long have you been trying to get out of here?

I’m a little tired of both this company and the industry in general. I would gladly leave at the first opportunity if I find something that is not this company or this industry. It seems that a lot of people who've left are actually those who were... —  read more 

I would be very worried if I was at the top of this company, considering that the morale of the employees has never been worse. Even those who were very comfortable here are leaving. What else can be expected if the morale is so low? - Nothing good!... —  read more 

Surely trigger fingers are starting to itch? They have added a couple of new EVPs and SVPs and some others got bounced.. so surely they will be aching to fire some of the masses to put their own stamp on things. Can they fire us before our reinvent... —  read more 

Oil is at an 8 year high Stock is near 25 year lows A shining bright yellow and green future ahead as Bernie and Lawler lead the company into oblivion

Any thoughts on raises and bonuses this year? Think the US salary tables will keep pace with inflation?

If I leave bp before bonuses are paid out, will bp still honor it and pay me the bonus? I know some companies do and others don’t.

I'm ready to leave. It took me eighteen months to find the right employer where I won't have to face the same things I did here, and I believe I finally did. BP is poorly run and managed and it's only a matter of time before some major consequences... —  read more 

and how to do so without becoming a brown-noser? It is clear to me that hard work has little to do with advancing one's career, or not nearly as much as, say, building a network of contacts.

Our team in Houston met for a Christmas party and now we're all dropping like flies thanks to Omicron. How many of you are in similar situations?

Only Looney can have the stock down 4% on an earnings and revenue beat. Worst CEO in the history of the company.

This site must be monitored by BP management. I have noticed that posts that are critical of BP have been removed.

Looney is funding his low return on capital green initiatives on the backs of shareholders and longtime employees. By cutting the dividend in half he has insured that the stock price will remain near 25 year lows. This will allow him to buyback... —  read more 

Looks like they are monitoring our restroom breaks now??

Should be good this year Bernard was saying all the right things on the last call! Normally they do above inflation so 5% at least?

How do I leave this company the right way? I know some pretty great people here but I've seen some pretty awful behavior and toxicity within the company culture also stemming from leadership downward. Its starting to really get to me despite my... —  read more 

This is a master thread about BP layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Join a company - work hard - grow your career --- here it's become impossible. One who expects significant career progression here is in the wrong place. It is my fault that I am here and I have not had any opportunity for growth for a long time. I... —  read more 

In the onboarding stages and considering BP upstream. I don’t have any illusions of a long career. But curious, when I finally do get laid off, what is the severance package like? Trying to take that into account as well.

I see Lord Browne is sticking his nose in BPs’s business again. Isn’t this the guy that flew his boy toy around the world on BP’s dime?

Boris Johnson is a green politician. Many green politicians have investments in green initiatives and are anti oil. Looney has a fiduciary duty to shareholders of BP. The government refuses to release the minutes of these meetings after a freedom... —  read more
