Matthew Boyle stated that a majority of employees that were laid off will be offered positions within the new company.
History
The company was founded in 1886 by Bailey Boyle when he was 42 years old. His father helped fund the company with his fortune he made from owning several banks in Arabi. The company was founded approximately 50 years after Arabi became an independent country. At the time there was one other oil and gas company providing energy in Arabi and kept raising prices making it difficult to afford oil. Intially Boyle's Oil only operated and sold product in Arabi but in the 1970's they expanded and started serving multiple countries, mainly in the United States, Canada, Germany, Australia, Russia, and the United Kingdom.

Board of Directors
Starting in 1900 a Board of Directors was created to limit some of the powers of the President and then later CEO. The CEO has the power to make decisions in regards to distribution, production, appointing members to the Board, and appointing the CMO. While the Board of Directors has the power to appoint the CEO, COO, CFO, and CLO, create company policies, and run the compliance department.
From 1900 until 1930 there were only five members of the board, all of whom were appointed by the President/CEO. In the fall of 1930 five additional seats were added to the Board. Company policy states that at least five members of the board must be current employees of the company who have been employed by the company for at least 2 years. This policy was added in the mid 1970's in order to be more employee oriented and allow current employees to help make decisions about the company.
