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

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

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

I get that they want things to be just like they were before the pandemic hit, but the talk about putting people in the office that used to work remotely before is just too much. What’s the deal here? A sick obsession with control and micromanagement... — read more 

The people that the MOC now employs I would not even call real replacements, most of them anyway. How can someone who doesn't know what he is doing be a replacement for a person who was a role model employee? How long will it take for the... — 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?

Nobody wants to work here anymore. We can't get anybody with any knowledge or experience to join. We've been waiting to backfill three positions on our team for SIX MONTHS! That's six months of us having to cover the extra work. If they think this... — read more

There was mention of February layoffs a while ago, what happened to that?

Who's buying Kenai refinery????

Does anyone know when bonuses will be paid this year? Last year was early, wondering if this year will be the same.

What the word on the latest abrupt executive departure? Hardly made it a year. My guess is he saw what a disaster this company is.
