Thread:Comments:Beleagured BP CEO Tony Hayward to step down/not surprising

BP's trying to avoid death by public relations, and given how lazy news outlets can be, Tony Hayward ends up being responsible for everything. He'll get a ton of money just to resign and the company might not explode. It's a great trade, but then when you're in a position like his you didn't necessarily work for the money in the first place. He'll just have slightly more free time now.
