Curious that HR is the only group that doesn't have their town hall info posted. Could it be the fact that promotions were handed out might cause some upset to finer sensibilities? Fine crop of directors there now.

The sense of entitlement on this board from some folks is truly staggering. Marathon does not owe you a living. Yes, your company has changed and maybe you miss the good ol' days. But this is not 1986. Grow a pair and get on with it - the rest of the... — read more 

Lee spoke at the HR town hall. He congratulated HR on being "a high performance team" and listed first and foremost their successful execution of the new performance management system. While any sane person would let the shell-shocked survivors have... — read more 

So to summarize - one of the new VPs was removed from his last field job because he is horrible and people hated him, but I'm sure it is just because he wasn't being challeneged. The new HES Director is quite possibly the biggest butt-sucking idiot... — read more 

Sounds like the board approved decentralization of EF & Bakken. Not sure if it's all of OPS or just D&C but I'll be glad to see them go either way.

I know there was a female completion engineer laid off in Feb and 3 drilling engineers in the last 2 rounds. There can't be too many women left in drilling (if any) or completions. Not good for a company that likes to brag about diversity.

Mr. Tillman, there is a very special place in Hell for you. As you are sitting in church worshipping this Christmas, think about all the lives you crushed right before the holidays. I hope you can't sleep at night. I can't. My wife can't. And my... — read more 

We have completed this round of layoffs and voluntary retirements. To all you present employees, get back to work. To all you former employees, get those resumes in shape.

Rumors are rising of the possibility of pay cuts. Anyone have any insight on this?

It's quite in the tower today. Survivor's guilt is heavy but we also are bracing ourselves for Round 4 after 4Q earnings. Thoughts of joining Houston's saturated unemployment market makes it impossible to enjoy the holidays! Prayers to those and... — read more 

Given the nature of the market and conditions set forth so clearly by the statements from the Saudi's and as well the recent line of cargo crude ships standing in line at the Gulf, would this claim be valid if employees banded together?... — read more 

Have the core areas of the Bakken and Eagle Ford been hit with layoffs? Seems to be mighty quiet in those areas.

How you liking how the new organizational chart looks? Hate to tell you this but, I told you so. If I was anywhere near a conventional asset I would be polishing up the old resume. Look what's happened already - ETNL and GOM gone! Conventional... — read more 

Anyone?

Hello all - I have a quick question, cannot release much detail here but bear with me. I wanted to see if one of you would be able to recommend an experienced and very aggressive employment attorney with a successful track in going after large... — read more 

I'm just scratching my head here. What I observed in the Tower was: 1) older people close to retirement being retained over competent professionals doing the same job just as well and with 10-20 years remaining to add value to the company; 2) The... — read more 

I left in 2011 - is PIT group affected by layoffs. Good luck to all.

How many people took VSP? The word on the street is 100. Is that correct?

Let's consolidate the updates for today in this thread so it's easily searchable. Seems it has started in the OKC office.

But talks a lot of BS about "culture" and "diversity"! Good luck to all of you at MRO.

Has anyone seen my red stapler? Please bring it to me in the basement.

Guess who got screwed during the split... https://www.thelayoff.com/marathon-petroleum

I think there are some folks in the Tower who very much deserve to be laid off. My voice does not matter, but I feel better by saying it here (and knowing that I'll get at least 100 views)

Wait until tomorrow. Layoffs that happened today were limited in scope - less than a dozen of people were affected - IT group only. I think that there is a general consensus that the majority of cuts will be happening tomorrow and you may want to... — read more 

Hmmmm, happens every time, every single time

I know for sure that I am not the only spouse/significant other of a Marathon employee that's been freaking out all day (and maybe checking this site every minute or so). If anyone needs to chat, I'm here. I know we all want to think our spouses are... — read more 

Are they happening today or tomorrow? Does anyone know for sure?

Good luck tomorrow!

Does anyone else notice that our new management spends half the day patting themselves on the back for being the "premier leadership team?" Am I the only one doing PowerPoint decks for my supervisor to present a politically correct version of facts... — read more 

We are relaxing our work attire policy next week and allowing cargo shorts. We will no longer be providing boxes for your personal items as a cost-savings measure. You will only be able to take whatever fits into your cargo short pockets. Thank you... — read more 

We have repossessed all pedestrian traffic signs. We recommend that in the meantime, if needed, print out your own pedestrian traffic signs.

Curious for those who usually get their direct deposit in Thursday if it is showing up today. Mine is not. Curious if this is wide-spread or just a select few (hoping it's not a sign)

What day are they doing involuntary layoffs?
