Why does it seem like turnover in HR is higher than other departments??? Any ideas?

Sorry, friends and family, I think it was a miscall? Oh,Fire!

Are the layoffs from last week done or are there more coming this week?

Has anyone heard about more layoffs coming? A bunch of people are set to leave the Oklahoma office on July 31st. Just curious if any other assets will be experiencing reductions in staff or if there will be another round in Oklahoma?

I have always heard MRO was a stepping stone to something better. Is it?

Can’t believe there was only one woman out of eight placed as a Director over the new Asset changes! #pinkpetro

Has anyone heard of something to be implemented really soon?

Once they finish laying off Creative...GSC is next. Tiny footprint in new building for both departments. Probably bringing in a UK agency to handle everything.

When I think of the Tillman era at Marathon, one word comes to mind - shrinkage. The Tillman years have been a long period of shrinking budgets, shrinking asset diversity, shrinking career opportunities, a shrinking sense of purpose and shrinking... —  read more 

It has been quiet when it comes to layoffs chatter - is that a good thing or quiet before the storm? Do we know if anything is brewing?

HR Talent Acquisition is actively recruiting mid-level leadership candidates from other companies as we speak. Two completely separate friends of mine have called me to discuss their talks with HR. In both cases HR is talking a much higher base... —  read more 

Who’s ready for the HERWorld Energy Conference!?

I know of two who packed their stuff and left Marathon Oil in the last several weeks. Makes you wonder...what is it they know that we don't? Because why would any manager leave this place when they have it made? We do all the work, they take all the... —  read more

What’s up with the sale of the U.K. asset? I have not been paying attention but am curious.

I hope everyone realizes that if they are posting or even visiting this site from their work computer (property of company) that IT/management can monitor not only where you go but your every keystroke. Just saying...

Bonus, "Merit Raise" and LTIP season makes me reflect on what we all get out of our jobs here at Marathon. All bees are born the same, but only some bees become queens. What makes the difference? Royal jelly. Royal jelly is a substance that those... —  read more

What happened to our land posts? I guess someone tattled to the mods. Thanks HR!

I've been hearing we might be looking at more layoffs either this or following month. Any truth to this?

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?
