Who made the cut?

Although we have known Marathon Oil was no more, today was the hardest. Marathon Oil was the people for me. For over two decades I have given my all for the people, not the Company. For it was the people that made Marathon Oil the place I loved. I... — read more 

Peace out everyone, it’s been real!

What’s happened to Lee, Mike? Did they retire or just have to leave

Well, Marathon oil is done, like it was meant to be. The writing was on the wall when the company split from downstream. Then it brought an ego maniac to run the company. Then is focused on onshore US like a junkie who could not get enough of it. ... — read more

Why keep people that don’t desire to transition? You asked and it was answered. Why ask if you don’t care. Why does the upper tier always get the beautiful parachutes and the little guys get sc--wed over. Seriously, COP knew the price tag so what... — read more 

Once we are in there will be more reorgs and adjustments, and I can only assume that many of us would be on the chopping block against COP employees. I hope I’m wrong about this, but that’s what usually starts to happen after a merger. I actually do... — read more 

Marathon Oil will lay off more than 500 people as result of its $22.5 billion merger with oil giant ConocoPhillips, the company said in a letter to the Texas Workforce Commission this... — read more 

Unless it happens soon, I’ll leave on my own. I’ve been with the company for a while. I’ve always been part of great teams, and probably have an exceptionally positive experience with regard to coworkers. I progressed professionally and have been... — read more 

We’ve got SPIRIT yes we do. We’ve got SPIRIT how about you?

We know who the slackers are in each department. We know who demanded to work from home. These two groups will be at the bottom of joining COP. The solid performers and those who show up in the office each day will be ones that have a chance to... — read more 

Lee T or Mike h going to be onboard or gone.

This is it, the very last quarter for MRO. Great case study in the importance of hiring good management.

Any truth that retirees will have there medical benefits terminated upon the closing?

I hear the entire Land Department is getting canned like tuna. I always thought it smelled fishy up there.

I’m hearing there is an increasing chance the acquisition will not go through, anybody hearing anything on the subject?

But don’t afford me an adult experience by being a responsible person and utilizing a million options like Uber to protect myself and others because you don’t trust us. Since when do you not enjoy beer with your hot dog? Wow! Yet at a holiday... — read more 

From the sounds of it, most if not all MRO employees are incompetent..

It's been awesome how often MRO is communicating with us to make sure we are kept up to date of the impending layoffs.

In times like these, it's crucial to pause and observe how leaders are behaving. The effective leaders will communicate with their teams and colleagues to ensure their well-being and promote positivity. On the other hand, ineffective leaders will... — read more 

Even in times like these, the HR trolls are having posts removed. I love that soon, none of the HR trolls will have a job to remove posts from this website.

Here’s to no more of the unnecessary BS that has been rolled out over the last couple of years.

The earth knows the score As reservoirs weep, their secrets unsealed The pumpjacks nod solemnly, to the moon in the sky The boardroom convened, a clandestine affair Beneath the moon’s crescent, the deal was struck A handshake of crude oil, force... — read more 

What do they know?....History. Past history shows huge available $$ during times of War to keep fuel and oil available for military. $22.5 Billion supposed buyout for Marathon oil by Conoco Phillips? Wise move. Combine and chop jobs then runaway... — read more

This site may not be the correct place for this but i'm thankful I got the opportunity to work with a lot of good people while I was at MRO. I'm even more thankful that I left when I did for a better opportunity.

I guess Lee didn’t want blue jeans being the only thing he was remembered for..

That's it ladies and gentlemen, please take your personal possesions with you as you leave.

The hubris and incompetence among supervisors and management is astounding. Too many folks with “authority” that can’t/ won’t admit they are wrong even when the evidence is directly in front of them and several people give the same root cause to an... — read more 

Tillman and Pat are crooks

Amended change of control benefits for officers. https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/101778/000010177818000026/mro-20171231x10kxex1033.htm

So bonuses are now paid, who’s leaving for greener pastures???

With Dane's retirement, there is no way there is a merger or buyout in the works. He would have got $21MM for a change of control.

What is the prediction on the bonus company factor? I am thinking 80% to 100%.

Any thoughts on why MRO delayed earnings one week?

It’s been quiet in the land department but I hear a big shake up is coming. Get your resumes ready.

Lee is over 60 now so who is the next CEO? Henderson?
