Title: Greedy oil giants
Post by: Big Bri on 04 February 2009, 16:34:35

How can they justify the prices at the pumps and the sacking of 5,000 more staff with that kind of profit >:(

Hayward's warning left BP's 15,000 UK workforce fearing the chop.

It came as the multinational announced profits leapt 39 per cent to £18.1billion last year.

The results, made on the back of sky-high prices at the petrol pumps, follow rival Shell's £22billion profit last year - the most money made by a European company in business history.

My company announced not dissimilar profits, but pay freezed everyone - except those getting the chop.

Its common business practice now.
