Anyone notice that the MyMetLife article on BP has some likes but even the toadies, sycophants and supplicants have so far restrained themselves from offering congratulations on his big award?

It’s history (155 years) of history repeating itself. The real problem is: can’t do the correct solution because the bottom line is they are cheap. A technology patch here or a new solution that can do everything but, but, but they only want to pay for the basic features. They are to the core the cheapest ba$tards. Balancing kissing the shareholders as--s and not spending any meaningful money on meaningful solutions,

+1 for the Southwest Airlines reference. The SW story is hugely important.
Some managers don't realize that you CAN lose a formerly great franchise.
Another paid-for award for BP. His job is basically to push the Hackaton on employees and have them come up with all of the innovative ideas, without any additional pay, mind you. The outcome will be the same as always, "quick wins" that cost little to no money to implement; and impact less than 1% of employees or clients. Meanwhile BP will continue to ignore the glaring issues needing improvements and won't invest any money there. Southwest Airlines, any one?
"CEO comes from Investments"
Doubtful with Investments spinning off into their own thing.
A complete waste of space
CEO comes from the outside and Investments separates
Lol, Papas is not even close to CEO material. Nobody internally has the intellect or capacity to put out the MetLife dumpster fire. Most people capable of doing so are smart enough to stay away. Metlife is a list cause.
Agree with @1str+1m8biuGy.
Not 100% certain, but I could also see the next CEO coming from investments.
The company wants to take less and less risk and just "manage" assets and skim off a percentage for doing it. So investments is more important than insurance.
IT is important too, but not to run they company. Right now, IT because it is afraid of a security breach, and because of its self generated bureaucracy (ticket h-e-double hockey stick), causes the whole process to be much much more expensive than it should be. I lay that on Pappas.

Come On!! He's on The Next List!
I'm on the NEXT to Leave List!
Congratulations to Bill Pappas, Head of Global Technology and Operations, on being chosen for the
@Forbes CIO Next list, which honors leaders who are leveraging #technology to transform their companies:

The Company paid a ton of money for his strategically scheduled public "awards". What exactly are his accomplishments other than lining his pockets off the backs of the rest of us? Serious question. 🤔
Pappas for CEO - Sounds like a good idea. Except he doesn't know anything about insurance and doesn't know anything about IT, either. Couldn't program his way out of a paper bag.
Are there no qualified Americans? 🤮
