While I agree that the wider base of employees deserves support, there are several factors suggesting the management is just plain bad:
a) It was their board and management that pushed for the cost cutting that caused the blow-out and deaths of their employees b) They are prioritising their profits over any wider responsibility c) They're spending vast amounts of effort and money in blocking press coverage and trying to maintain their image rather than the spill
Given that their statutory civil liabilties alone could run to over $180m per DAY (not including any direct costs, criminal liability, lost business, cleanup or compensation), they just don't seem to be taking things very seriously. They're smiling to the press and shareholders while racking up potential liabilities that could kill the company. That's almost as irresponsible as the spill.
