Based on the HR discussion that we had today, it looks like another stingy raise is in store. Why is leadership surprised by the attrition rate, especially around April.

Does anyone else get the feeling there will be layoffs in 2023? Hearing about Google, Microsoft and others sparks thoughts. I suppose it depends on the department.

Hilcorp/Harvest took Belle Chasse and is developing a small gas processing plant in Deadhorse. now that lower 48 cracks are all good, how long before it returns for kenai?

MPLX is an amazing company to work for I just wish they would have more flavors of coffee in the office and wish they didn’t water down their soap to save money. MPLX to the moon 🚀

Can anyone shed some light on pay grades at Marathon Petroleum? What pay grade is entry level? What pay grade is an experienced employee with 10-15 years of experience. Thanks!

CEO announced a one time $5,000 year end bonus for 98% of the employees that are below grade 15. Nice gesture but its probably because they are going to cheap out on raises AGAIN. Hard to take anything they do at face value, always a seed of doubt... —  read more

If the economy turns around, do you anticipate any Marathon Oil layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

It took me a long time to understand that this place will not change for the better. The whole time I hoped that some improvement would happen. Now I'm just wondering what will happen next to make things worse for good employees here...

Just when I thought maybe it'll get better. Nope, here comes the donkey sc----g! Thank you MPC! For giving all new hires and folks under 5 years an extra week of vacation. In the meantime everyone that has 5 years plus SC----G! Guess we shouldn't... —  read more 

It’s a paycheck and that’s it. Thanks

In most things, this company is stuck in the past. I wonder why that is? Is the reason that there is no vision? Is the reason that the leadership considers changes for the better too risky?

When is marathon going to give in and let us work from home more than once a week?

Fun to see everyone from Andeavor and Tesoro leaving the MPC toxicity-some sooner than others. Wonder when the Findlay crayon munchers will pull their heads firmly out of their backside and see how they’ve ruined an otherwise wonderful workplace... —  read more 

Inflation is 8.5%. MPC has records quarters and is on track for their best year ever. They better not be stingy come springtime with some weak a-s 3% raises. Time to pony up Hennigan! Heck, it might even help with employee retention - what a concept... —  read more 

No one cares to hire leaders, only followers. Shocking that the followers lack in understanding how to be a leader. There is no development. I think the talent pool issue stems from middle management inadequacy. When you can’t cultivate or... —  read more

Now!!! My bonus depends on you looking good for me!!!

Another field worker leaving…I know he’s just a number to Findlay but it could have been prevented. Maybe eventually Marathon will wake up and realize the value of the people that work for them…but we all know that won’t happen. **disclaimer... —  read more 

Does Marathon stay in Findlay long term?

Rumor has it MPC is looking to dump assets in the West. Anyone else hearing this?

Don’t know about anyone else but the term quiet quitting is the way to go for alot of us. If you don’t know what it is google it. No suck assing, bare minimum (if that) and just coast. If you disagree with people doing this you are either a new hire... —  read more 

Any rumors on who Mike Hennigan selected to replace Refining EVP Ray Brooks after he retires at the end of August? Inside or outside MPC?

More and more of my colleagues are leaving. Even those who seemed to be comfortable and satisfied here are leaving. Is it just me or is a mass exodus in the works?

Per Fidelity come Jan 1 - they will disallow any holdings of greater than 25% of MPC in your 401k (unless brought over from before the cutoff date). What an absolute garbage move on MPC's part. Guaranteed this is a MPC corporate move because they... —  read more

Curious…What have you received from putting in your efficiencies? Don’t say “we get to keep our job” so that’s enough. “Saving” Marathon millions only to get satisfaction of being a kiss a-s.

But that doesn't seem to be happening yet? Or at least I haven't noticed that attrition is slowing down.

I have been employed by MPC at a "legacy" refining site for double digit years now and had a discussion yesterday with an employee in another department with a different supervisor. We were unable to put into words what either of our supervisors did... —  read more
