That asset is doing nothing for the company. They have no rigs running and are way over staffed. Its time to cut the asset loose, regardless of it being a "legacy" asset to MRO. And after that sell, MRO needs to take a page from their direct competitors (Chesapeake, Devon, Anadarko, Pioneer, Apache, and Oxy) and release some contractors. Those companies have been able to save their own employees by releasing contract workers. They see the value in taking care of their own. Eventually the market will rebound and they won't have to go out and rehire employees, but if Marathon keeps trimming their own employees they will have to look at eating crow and rehiring what they let go (and thats only IF those employees would come back).

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 assets=clearance rack for other companies to scoop up.
More insults. Perfect. I'll heed your advice and bow out. Clearly we are pulling for separate teams. Best of luck staying out of the unemployment line, I hope to do likewise.
Wrong! Have you not read the older threads? There is no support there. This is a site to vent about how bad things are. And if you get the axe, then it's a place to vent about that. I think you are being overly sensitive and might need your mommy to kiss your boo-boos while you snuggle with your blankie.
my sentiments have nothing to do with school. The bottom line is that a post about how MOC needs to be slashing anything right now is completely irrelevant. It is grossly insensitive to the ones who have lost their jobs already, and only fans the panic of those remaining. Rant on Facebook if necessary, but this should be a place of info and support.
I think you are the one that needs to go back to school. The OP did not slander the asset. All he/she said was that Wyoming doesn't have any rigs going like the other assets do. We all know that our CEO said assets will be sold so it just seemed logical to think Wyomng would be on the chopping block. As far as contractors, I agree with the poster. We need to go more contract heavy in order to protect our own employees.
Have you told Mr. Tillman about your keen business strategy? Sounds like you have it all figured out. Oh, and Wyoming's contract workforce has been decimated for some time now. Please educate yourself before slandering other assets.
They should start with people who don't know the difference between weight and wait.
That's highly unlikely they'll get rid of contractors. They even used the corporate Twitter account to boast about how they had such a high percentage of contractors working for them. Go check the feed, unless they realized their idiocy and deleted it.
