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 

I have worked with 6 different Findlay engineering transplants from two different departments. All but 1 has left MPC after only a few months to a year of working in California. A couple of them had to pay back some of the relocation money, the... — 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 

Does anyone have any details about the market compression raises that I hear are coming for engineers? I heard it was “for Engineers grade 10 to 13”. The one thing I have learned about Marathon is that they know how to sc--w up ideas like this and... — read more 

Don't worry ya'll, we're doing another $5B in buy backs; think of the shareholder value! “In recognition of the contribution our people have made to Shell’s strong operational performance against a recent challenging backdrop, our executive... — read more 

Hopefully 7-Eleven trimmed some MPC deadwood this week. A little bit of Karma for how MPC treated people in previous acquisitions!

i see a lot of bs commentary in this thread about mpc salaries being substandard compared to competitors. time to set the record straight. i’m a CURRENT mech eng in a legacy southern mpc refinery, hired in 2019 at a grade 10. here were my base... — 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 

Is Houston going to be the new hub for internal audit given the VP of IA resides in Houston?

This Friday is the last day for a fellow engineer in my department. He is the 4th engineer in less than a year to leave the company after transferring to California from Findlay. He told me that he had to stay with the company 1 year after... — read more 

The reason most people are still here is not because they want to stay here, but because for some reason they are stuck here in this awful atmosphere. Isn't this company more than lucky because of that, otherwise they would be one of the most... — read more

Regular stream of people leaving but not being replaced. Number of open jobs keeps creeping up and not being filled. A lot of of people out west are leaving since marathon will not stop with their good ole boy antics and nepotism. Seems like findlay... — read more

Open job count the highest I've seen at ~240. When is Corporate going to see they have a problem, and that it's them?

I was laid off from MPC at the end of 2019, and have been unemployed ever since. It sickens me to read all of the negative comments about MPC from those of you who are still there... at least you're sill working! Although it appears that I'm in the... — read more

People have their bonus now exodus part 2 starts. It slowed down for a bit the past month or two but at least 3 people quit today at GBR. More to come.

Just curious if any of the Findlay folks have ever run into Gary post-retirement or heard anything from the guy? Would be interesting to know his thoughts on the poor purchases of MW and Andeavor, or the performance of MH.

Is there any word about MPC adding more WFH days for office employees in the near future?

SEC filing shows Ray is retiring effective in September. Should be interesting to see who fills that. Wouldn't be surprised to see Hennigan bring in someone external who wants to cut cost further and care even less about safety.

Executives got paid out 173% of their targets already. Leave your bonus payment rumors here.

Just posted, Marathon not paying a bonus or lump sum to employees at their 2 refinery’s that are for sale.

How many fewer employees will the Marathon have after the bonus is paid out?

"...the corporation’s strategy to increase the exploitation of the working class to pay off this debt through mass layoffs." OUCH!!! https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2022/02/22/mara-f22.html

Any rumors on when bonuses will be paid out?
