The below quotes speak for themselves. Further commentary seems redundant. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-10782429 ---------------------------------snip The outgoing boss of BP believes he was "demonised and vilified" over the firm's Gulf of Mexico oil spill crisis.
But chief executive Tony Hayward - who is to leave the top job in October - accepted that the firm could not move on with him at the helm. His departure was confirmed as BP reported a record $17bn (£11bn) loss, having set aside $32bn to cover the costs of the spill. BP's managing director Bob Dudley will replace him in the top job. "This is a very sad day for me personally," Mr Hayward told reporters. "Whether it is fair or unfair is not the point. I became the public face [of the disaster] and was demonised and vilified. He added: "BP cannot move on in the US with me as its leader... Life isn't fair. "Sometimes you step off the pavement and get hit by a bus." -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
