Transocean CEO Does Bollywood At a Safety Meeting

Static Chaos's picture




 

By Static Chaos

I came across this clip on YouTube.  According the video author, Transocean (RIG) President and CEO Steven Newman performed a dance--Bollywood style--at the company's 2009 safety review in Mumbai on Feb. 19-20 as some kind of reward/bet to Transocean's India Division team for wining "the best safety performance" in the company two years in a row.

You can tell Newman probably spent considerable time rehearsing.  His performance, if ranked among his peers (i.e. the C-suite), would be at least 8 (out of 10). 

There is also an awkward hip-hopish video filmed onboard Deepwater Horizon by two Transocean's rig workers to promote hand safety just a year before the rig explosion. 

It looks like Transocean has spent much focus on transforming the blue-collar image traditionally associated with an oil serivce company.  However, one has to wonder if the Gulf oil spill could be prevented had the same devotion been dedicated to the Horizon rig by Transocean (RIG) as well as BP.

lyrics are translated as----

Jag jag sara jag sara nikhar gaya -> This world has become a better place

Hun pyaar ka vaadhe vich bikhar gaya -> The promises we made in love have lost in it

Hun Mauja hi Mauja -> Now it's all enjoyment, joy and dance

Sham Savere -> in the evening and in the morning

Hun Mauja hi Mauja -> it's all enjoyment, joy and dance

*facepalm*  "good ol' boys" definitely cannot dance. what fucking torture it must be to be an employee at these goddamn events.

i mainly work for tech companies and it IS torture to be at company parties, watching 50-60 year olds doing the macarena and singing to party shit-songs like "i will survive" and "celebration".  i'm surprised i didn't off myself at that time...

Transocean CEO Steven Newman grilled on why rescued rig workers were asked by Transocean officials to sign forms saying both that they were not hurt, and that they were "not a witness to the incident requiring the evacuation and have no first hand or personal knowledge regarding the incident."

pretty cool - bet that took some practice.
