BP to cut thousands of internal, contractor jobs, Bloomberg reports

BP (BP) CEO Murray Auchincloss told staff on Thursday that the company is cutting 4,700 positions internally and 3,000 contractor roles, Bloomberg’s Mitchell Ferman reports. “I understand and recognize the uncertainty this brings for everyone whose job may be at risk, and also the effect it can have on colleagues and teams,” Auchincloss wrote in an email to BP employees, which was also provided to Bloomberg. “We have a range of support available, and please continue to show care for each other, be considerate, and keep putting safety first – especially during times of change.”
