Is there anything more demoralizing for an employee than to see someone climbing very easily even though he or she has no talents, just because they have strong connections with some of those in higher positions? It's really frustrating. I have been... — read more
MPC regretting 2020 layoffs? Offering retention bonuses!!!
Seems like MPC may have cut too deep with the layoffs in 2020. A significant increase in workload for many who stayed with the company is starting to impact staff to the point where the company has noticed an unusual up-tick in departures. Couple... — read more
operating in survival mode
Even if this company is not in survival mode, I think it operates as if it was in that mode... I just wonder what the future holds for a company whose leadership seems to me to have no vision other than to maintain survival mode for a long time to... — read more
Andeavor won
It occurred to me today that although we (MPC) thought we took over Andeavor and were the dominate company, in the end, Andeavor won. the massive paydays the Andeavor talent made when MPC severed them. MPC has shutdown/sold many of the... — read more

Marathon Oil Layoffs 2022
How likely is that there will be Marathon Oil layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Very poor leadership
This company has gone down hill. If you work here, you probably feel the same. Mike Hennigan, if you read this, please do some self reflecting. You are the embodiment of the Peter principle. Here is a free tip, on the house: You don't announce... — read more
Fire people for no good reason!
I gave them the best years of my life only to be hung out to dry by lying broads and foreman step up foremens! Do not trust management! They tell you you can do stuff and then they throw you under the bus!
MPC selling Kenai Refinery
Any other plants going up for sale?
Cutting to the bone, sitting on the cash mountain
Hard to understand the never ending drive for sites to cut budgets to the bone while MPC is looking to spend $9B more on buybacks, and has $7B in cash sitting with no plan. Cutting wasteful spending makes great sense, but the ivory castle is... — read more
Wish Andeavor had bought MPC
Corporate is onsite telling us how to schedule work… taking us backwards…. Any other L10’s feeling the pain. What a joke
Happy 1 year since the mass layoff
Hope everyone that got let go a year ago are ki----g it out there!
Are good quarterly results here a pure luck?
It no longer seems to me that good quarterly results can be the result of effort, work and knowledge of our management. If the next quarter is more successful, they will present it as their success. And will it be their success or just a pure luck? I... — read more
Not one colleague has left for two weeks now
At one point I thought that all my close colleagues would end up leaving here. People were leaving en masse. That's why I'm surprised now because no one has left for almost two weeks. Does it seem to you that the trend of leaving has decreased or... — read more
Everyone complains about the workload
I'm a little worried because my colleagues are complaining they've never had more work to do, while I've never had less. This week was almost like I was on vacation. I mean, it’s not that I’m complaining because I’m not overwhelmed, but I wonder... — read more
Vaccine Mandate Walkout
I understand a lot of people are worried about their job and will blow this off. However something needs to be done to stop the control over our civil liberties. I’m proposing that everyone walks out in solidarity or calls in if/when we get the email... — read more
New hiring initiatives
Anyone else wonder how they pulled off the BIPOC/women hiring initiative? Seems that it clearly violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act as well as our own hiring policies. I wonder if a white guy who gets discriminated against by the company... — read more
Widespread safety concerns
When the CEO did the last townhall, his main points were all about cutting costs. I’ve noticed within my organization how safety concerns are bypassed in order to protect the bottom line. I’ve heard it at other refineries as well. Serious life... — read more
Layoffs in September
Has there been a confirmation of layoffs this month or is it still in the rumor stages?
The tea leaves are turning
Disclaimer - this is speculation and observation only. It seems that with fall approaching we are noticing the start of some consolidation of responsibilities within departments locally. It has a similar feeling to last year before layoffs. Anyone... — read more
I’m considering a job here
Was offered a job at marathon.. after reading this posts I have serious doubts. Is the company really this bad?
Are there any changes for the better?
It's been half a year since I've left here and I don't miss anything in particular, except for a few colleagues, who have also moved to other companies. I worked here for a long time and I’d like to know if there are some shifts for the better... — read more
It used to be that I would not consider leaving here even for a more lucrative opportunity.
But that was a long time ago. I knew many more such people who did not want to leave the company even though they were offered much better pay elsewhere. Now I don’t believe anyone would do that anymore. Moreover, I would leave Marathon for the... — read more

MPC Stock-Any comments appreciated on your opinions of it
What's going on with that tender offer on MPC stock? Why would they make the range so low? Stock is already higher than their cap. I am really hopeful the stock goes to $100 within the next 2 years.
Houston
Anyone heard about moving HQ (Findlay and San Antonio) to Houston>
How Many?
How many good people are we going to lose before Marathon wakes up to realize this is the start of a massive job seekers market and they're losing some of their best people with their archaic policies?
Pssst..Hennigan… Hennigan…you awake?
Does this guy exist? You’d think during an unprecedented global crisis, layoffs, worst downturn in refining history the CEO would communicate with the organization. Say what you want about Hemminger, at least he appeared human. Oh, and buckle... — read more
Toxic place
Ran away from this toxic place, couldn't wait any longer.
Anyone else worried about Findlay housing values?
Directionally it seems company is focusing outside of Findlay. Without MPC expanding in Findlay, not sure where future buyers are going to come from.
Leaving the company
There seems to be a large number of people planning on leaving due to MPC’s inability to allow a more permeant work from home schedule. I expect a lot of good talent to be walking out the door due to managements fixation on everyone being in the... — read more

Q1 predictions?
There is not much left until the results for the first-quarter are announced. A month and a few days. I wonder what your predictions are? I’m not very optimistic and I’m just afraid that there will be significant layoffs after that. Or even before... — read more
Special bonuses for retention?
Heard some people who were deemed critical received a special, additional bonus or retention. Anyone else heard this? How were these individuals selected?
Has anyone come back?
Is there anyone here who was recalled to share their experiences? Are you in a worse situation now than before? Honestly, I would gladly go back if it was possible because after the layoff I went to six different interviews, but all the options were... — read more
Pay cut and no overtime
I was wondering if the pay cut that took place in West Texas for the drivers was just for those drivers or company wide? The fact that they implemented a $6/hr pay cut on top of utilizing the no overtime exemption is down right wrong. So... — read more
Bonuses Coming

No more safe positions
Other than the ELT, there are no more safe positions at Marathon. We've had how many layoffs in the past five years? Too many to recall them all. We are now at a stage where we expect layoffs all the time. Not one person I talked to thinks they're... — read more
