‘I’ve got nothing left to lose’: The fight against Oil Search
A former Oil Search executive who is suing the company for breach of contract says she’s speaking out about why she left the company because the legal process isn’t working.
Ayten Saridas has hit rock bottom. She is embroiled in legal action against Oil Search, out of pocket by close to $1 million, and attempting to prod the corporate regulator to act against her former employer.
But the former Oil Search executive – she left by “mutual agreement” in November 2020 after just four months at the company, now merged into Santos – does not want sympathy. She says she was calling out bad behaviour, and stands by it.
