Tony Hayward in talks for Glencore job

Tony Hayward, recently dubbed the most hated man in America, has been approached about a directorship at Glencore, the world's largest commodity trading group.

The former chief executive of BP, who left after the Gulf oil spill, could be needed to play a role if Glencore decided to proceed with a stock market flotation later this year. He has already held talks with the company's management.

A friend said last night that no one should be surprised that a talented strategic thinker like Hayward was sought after by many in the business world who considered him harshly dealt with by the media and others.

"Tony has been approached about going on the board as a non-executive director. This is one of a number of things that Tony is looking at and I would expect him to develop a portfolio career," said the friend.

3. Ugh. They sure do look after their own. n/t

7. Exactly. He could be a serial killer in the legal sense and get promoted.

He already is one in the common sense.

Apparently that golden parachute wasn't sufficient for him to retire fat and sassy off his ill-gotten gains. So the poor thing will keep screwing up the world until he dies.

Wait, they never do die, do they? Examples: Henry Kissinger and Dick Cheney.

8. How many people do you have to kill to be unhire-able? I guess it doesn't count if they are contract

workers. :(
