LONDON — Chief executive Tony Hayward's departure from spill-plagued BP appears imminent, British media reported.

While a company spokesman told Reuters Saturday that Hayward still has the full backing of BP's board, industry insiders said Hayward may announce his departure by Tuesday, when the oil giant releases its six-months earnings report.

The BP board meets Monday to decide whether the beleaguered boss should quit over his role in the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, The Independent of London said Sunday.

If Hayward goes, the likely successor would be Robert Dudley, the American who has taken day-to-day charge of cleaning up the spill, the newspaper said.

1. Well, Buh-Bye Then

But one asshole being replaced by another means nothing. The whole top echelon of that corporation appears to be completely warped by the lust for profits at the expense of ever doing the right thing.

2. I'm beginning to think he's not the main problem in

what still is their corporate culture. It's okay with me though because he went along with it. Let's hope this leads us closer to the real jackals.

We will love the new one BP gives us, oh, for the sake of Capitalism we will. Enjoy your retirement package; job well done!

8. Man, that's just so easy. You fuck up the world and then just change jobs.

Or take early retirement.

Poof! It's all gone.

if so, it includes the ramifications of the largest environmental disaster in history. This won't go away for Tony Hayward.

10. Bullshit! It's too bad that I'm not running the show, because he'd be going NOWHERE anytime soon

He wants his life back? Tough sh*t!

You created it. You fix it.

Amazing how easy it is to just quit.
