Wow, sorry to hear, I think we have all been knowing it was coming, just sad to see the big axe fall, especially knowing that more are coming

I'm so glad right now I didn't leave my company to go to O&G.
I had flirted with Baker and Cameron. We've had lots of layoffs in my company over the past five years nit I've been safe. Although with us breaking into two companies, who knows. I'm in the one that makes way more profit per employee, so that's a benefit.

This has been in the works. They were offering "packages" to any interested employees in the last couple of months. One would know that would follow!!

BP had 7200 jobs in houston in June. Thats a ton of jobs.

I shared insight to the board on this very matter a few months ago. It's been in the works for some time. They've been letting people go for a while now and making it uncomfortable for the rest. Tons of people bailed on their own, which means these cuts are on top of all of that...

Just talked to my dad who's offices are in Houston. His contacts at BP say it might be more than 23%

When they did an audit of the company, one in three workers were deemed unnecessary. My husband was told by a close friend that works there that the HSSE department was cut by 40%.

Will this be the beginning of the end of all of this insufferable talk about Texas being the tip of the spear for the entire country's jobs recovery?

This is a life lesson to the young crowd to pay down debts and have money in the bank to endure times like this.

A major problem with BP's, shall we say extra employees, was because they never really got rid of any operational folks when they sold off those GoM assets. The offshore people went with the new buyers, but the land based folks stayed and were plugged in elsewhere.

I don't know but there sure is a lot of envy when it comes to the Lone Star state...some the result of its own natives, I'm sure, but some ill placed. As a resident of Texas for some 25 years now I have come to appreciate the bravado - though inflated on occasions - but refreshing none the less. Have observed the same coming from the Sportsman's Paradise in recent years and I like it...as a native of Louisiana there is much to admire...such a rich State of cultures, diversities and the likes
