BP is set to eliminate an additional 1,500 jobs and 1,200 contractor roles across its global workforce by the end of the year, bringing total expected job losses to 6,200 – approximately 15 per cent of its office-based staff.
This figure, up from 4,700 cuts announced earlier this year, signals further potential reductions as the oil giant intensifies its cost-saving drive, partly through artificial intelligence (AI) efficiencies.
