Anybody heard anything?

Any news on the Austin Chalk well we were going to do?

What do you retirees think of Marathon doing away with supplemental benefits for Medicare starting in 2021?

Confirmed that the SA office will shut down. What about OKC?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2018/11/18/smarter-living/the-benefits-of-sharing-your-salary.amp.html The New York Times is running this article that explains the benefits of sharing salaries. I’m game! Anyone else? Grade 12 non... read more

Rumor mill is ORB/OKC Office to be transitioned to Corp Office by early 2019. Announcement to OKC approximately Nov 27th. Some positions possibly retained during the transition and options for relocation are in talks. Good luck OK.

Nothing to be impressed with, considering where oil prices were last quarter.

The entire senior leadership including Tracie are inebt.

Great job management for creating a great working environment for us. Excellent work MRO employees, for a great year of hard work as we focused on our objective to be the lowest cost, highest margin resource play operator.

Rumor is existing (smaller footprint) to reflect leaner MRO. Another rumor is that a few departments will be totally outsourced to third parties and not be joining the westward exodus . Maybe these are the ones that have already been hollowed out?... read more

What gives is that Marathon is at best dysfunctional...If you rock the boat...or if you are "different" then you are a target. There is no respect for intelligence or experience. The priority is who you are related to, your age, who's [email protected]@ you've... read more

The remaining plants will all be laid off. No word yet if they will contract a third party for plant services.

MRO signed a deal to move to City Center area

The boards are very dull, little comment. Things must be going well, people happy, etc.

The land department is going downhill fast. First a land director with no land experience. Now they promote a supervisor to a manager who everyone dislikes. He has had two people within the last year quit due to him and at least one more before that... read more

MRO will be putting the UK assets for sale. We were told in a town hall meeting last week in Aberdeen.

I gotta admit, this article really got me puzzled. Do the Eagle Ford operations really have that much potential, and if they do how come nobody else realized it, or is this just a story to justify big investments in those operations, back in 2016... read more

Is this true? Why did they get fired? I guess this starts the rumored land re-org.

What’s up with cutting everything for the remaining year? Are layoffs coming too? I thought we had a good balance sheet and now we are canceling lunches and selling marathon gear in the lobby????

All you defenders of the status quo, please explain why MRO has a market cap under 50% of its former sister MPC, perhaps poor strategic leadership, especially when the firms were equal when split. Before you say ‘it’s the business we’re in,’ why has... read more

Is this true?

Older post is saying layoffs are coming the week of August 20th. Any truth to this? What departments?

Ok where are we moving?

It’s an industry norm but dayyum.... are layoffs even necessary at this point?

The Biblical standard of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” just does not cut the mustard at MRO’s HR Department. They IMPROVED the Bible, so that the Marathon’s ‘holy book’ requires that one must “do unto others as THEY would have... read more

Only this time focus on dead weight in the company instead of the most experienced and knowledgeable workers. I'm sick and tired of looking at smug faces of people who barely know how to tie their own shoes and not to mention how to do their jobs who... read more

Been hearing that we can expect more layoffs at Marathon Oil sometime next month. The person I heard it from is not the most reliable source though, so I was hoping that somebody here might know more about it and share it with the rest of us. Or an... read more

Marathon Oil is the most ultra political work environment I have ever worked in. Where Bravado, Bluster, saying hello and then ploying to throw a person under the bus and brown nosing are king and anything of substance is of the least valued. The... read more

This company is a joke. I finally made the decision to leave and I don't regret it one bit. I'm so tired of nepotism and idiotic politics that value brownnosing over actual good work. My advice to everybody here is to get out before this ship sinks... read more

Who’s with me?

Permian lost 3 or 4 people recently. Why is everyone leaving?

Houston-based Marathon Oil Corp. (NYSE: MRO) was the lowest public company ranked overall in a May 21 New York Times study that calculated a company's profits returned to employees vs. shareholders... read more

If they want to "restructure" they should remove HR and upper management from the equation when it comes to hiring and "letting people go". I can't tell you how many people I've seen hired or transferred to different departments by HR who don't have... read more

continued purging of 50+ and experience, sprinkled in with a few sacrificial youngsters to avoid appearance of age discrimination. so clever. the end is near.

What layoffs are this week?

I applied for a land position in OKC any advice?

Marathon use to be the standard. A great company that cares about its employees. I worked for Marathon in multiple states and still miss most of the people there. It started with Lee Tillman and his HR VP Deanna Jones. Now every time I look at... read more

Perm employees only. Contractors are safe this round.
