  • BP gets ready for a major management shake-up
  • J&J does a phantom recall of a number of medicines

Doing Good Does NOT Make you Responsible

Posted June 8, 2010
 

Why does no one trust BP CEO Tony Hayward?  No one trusts Tony Hayward because he and BP have not made -- never made -- the conscious decision to be responsible and every action they take continues to demonstrate their lack of responsibility.  Take their continued reluctance to be transparent.  They show zero interest in measuring or disclosing the true amount of oil coming out of that well.  They release information on their repair operations on a "need to know basis."
