$22.5 Billion purchase supposedly. What are they up to? Past history gave special funds to keep gas/oil going during War times. Marathon Petroleum and Marathon Oil were sort of separated on paper. Bares watching as company takeovers mean job combining usually.

In times of war hardly no one wants to be working at a refinery. Companies may merge to weed out those changing careers anyway and also bump up Gov. wartime dollars. Fuels and oil are critical to the military.
They weren't sorta separated on paper. They are two completely separate companies. This is no more significant for MPC than Chevron buying Hess.
Most workers are not aware of the general easy to follow signs of business mergers until it happens.
Probably? If you're not high enough to be mentioned in an email you don't matter. But good news the amount of eligible spaces has ground the latter of butt kissing has been thrown down.
the only war coming is the one on your promotion.
Wartime economies usually mean job security at refineries but if large corporations join together maybe not.
Job cuts! Job cuts! Let’s do that!
Is Maryann moving to OH or will TX be the new headquarters for MPC???
The smell of easy wartime funds coming soon might stir up the Big dogs to join together. Usually not good for the little worker though. Most always mean job cuts and extra work piled on.
