Red face Transocean gives bonuses after Gulf of Mexico BP spill

The offshore drilling firm responsible for running the Deepwater Horizon rig has given its top executives bonuses for its "best year" for safety.

Transocean was blamed along with BP and Halliburton after last year's massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Eleven workers, nine of whom worked for Transocean, died when the Deepwater Horizon exploded almost a year ago.

OUTRAGEOUS!!!!! People died and these b4stards get Safety Bonuses!!

Fat Cats at the trough once again!!

I spent five years working for Transocean, working with a gun to my head is one way to describe them TBH.

Don't resist.

The rich will always get richer. The poor poorer. And the middle squeezed the life out of.

There's no morality. No 'fairness'.

Always has been. Always will be.

It's western corporate culture; executives deserving huge pay/bonus etc almost regardless of performance.

The public sector started going this way under your beloved Labour lewis also!

I suppose the whole point of economic elites is to do this anyway?

Maybe you are right, but we have now arrived at the situation where they no longer have any personal shame.

That's a good point and might single that our elites really are decadent.
