BP’s share price fell sharply, after the oil company abruptly(突然地) removed Albert Manifold as chairman. In a statement the board said that serious concerns had been raised about Mr Manifold’s “governance oversight and conduct”, which news reports suggested was to do with his pugnacious(好斗的，爱吵架的) managerial style. At BP’s annual general meeting in April 18% of shareholders voted against a resolution to make Mr Manifold a director. Mr Manifold said that the claims of him being bullying and overbearing in the job were a “false narrative(虚假的叙述)” and suggested that he’d been ousted for his “determination to drive change on costs” among other things. He became BP’s chairman only last October.(他去年十月才成为英国石油公司的董事长。)
英国石油公司股价大跌，此前这家石油公司突然解除了阿尔伯特·马尼福尔德（Albert Manifold）的董事长职务。在一份声明中，董事会表示对马尼福尔德先生的“治理监督和行为”提出了严重关切，新闻报道称这与他好斗的管理风格有关。在四月份的英国石油公司年度股东大会上，18%的股东投票反对让马尼福尔德先生担任董事的决议。马尼福尔德先生表示，关于他在工作中欺凌和专横的说法是“虚假叙述”，并暗示他被驱逐是因为他“在成本方面推动变革的决心”等原因。他去年十月才成为英国石油公司的董事长。
