Pros

It pays the bills Home work

Cons

The ceo wael has one goal. A big payout for him and the board. The focus for him is: # Cut costs as the consequences take time to show and he'll jump ship before hand. Similar to the Peter Voser era # Forgetting the environment, as oil is highly profitable #Cut staff whilst telling those remaining they have to work harder without extra pay to increase profits and keep pay rises below inflation #promote woman to hit D and I targets even if they are inexpw # Move jobs offshore to India, Poland and The Philippines where Labour is cheaper and they have very few employment protections # Promote the loudest and most aggressive people to managers # Down grade job requirements and put in junior staff who don't have the experience # Pay VP and above extremly well to keep the old boy network happy # Make staff fly economy but don't sell off the three corporate jets for the board and VPs
