The land department is going downhill fast. First a land director with no land experience. Now they promote a supervisor to a manager who everyone dislikes. He has had two people within the last year quit due to him and at least one more before that... — read more
MRO to sell Brae and UK assets
MRO will be putting the UK assets for sale. We were told in a town hall meeting last week in Aberdeen.
Is Eagle Ford really the next big play?
I gotta admit, this article really got me puzzled. Do the Eagle Ford operations really have that much potential, and if they do how come nobody else realized it, or is this just a story to justify big investments in those operations, back in 2016... — read more
Land director fired?
Is this true? Why did they get fired? I guess this starts the rumored land re-org.
Cost Cutting
What’s up with cutting everything for the remaining year? Are layoffs coming too? I thought we had a good balance sheet and now we are canceling lunches and selling marathon gear in the lobby????
MPC. Much better than MRO
All you defenders of the status quo, please explain why MRO has a market cap under 50% of its former sister MPC, perhaps poor strategic leadership, especially when the firms were equal when split. Before you say ‘it’s the business we’re in,’ why has... — read more
More Reorganization Coming?
Is this true?
Layoffs next week?
Older post is saying layoffs are coming the week of August 20th. Any truth to this? What departments?
Moving?
Ok where are we moving?
SO MANY People Jumping Ship
It’s an industry norm but dayyum.... are layoffs even necessary at this point?
HR Walks on Water
The Biblical standard of “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” just does not cut the mustard at MRO’s HR Department. They IMPROVED the Bible, so that the Marathon’s ‘holy book’ requires that one must “do unto others as THEY would have... — read more
Can we have more layoffs, please?
Only this time focus on dead weight in the company instead of the most experienced and knowledgeable workers. I'm sick and tired of looking at smug faces of people who barely know how to tie their own shoes and not to mention how to do their jobs who... — read more
August layoffs
Been hearing that we can expect more layoffs at Marathon Oil sometime next month. The person I heard it from is not the most reliable source though, so I was hoping that somebody here might know more about it and share it with the rest of us. Or an... — read more
All the Wrong Moves
Marathon Oil is the most ultra political work environment I have ever worked in. Where Bravado, Bluster, saying hello and then ploying to throw a person under the bus and brown nosing are king and anything of substance is of the least valued. The... — read more
Marathon Oil is a joke
This company is a joke. I finally made the decision to leave and I don't regret it one bit. I'm so tired of nepotism and idiotic politics that value brownnosing over actual good work. My advice to everybody here is to get out before this ship sinks... — read more
Strike
Who’s with me?
Why are so many people leaving?
Permian lost 3 or 4 people recently. Why is everyone leaving?
We don't need money
Houston-based Marathon Oil Corp. (NYSE: MRO) was the lowest public company ranked overall in a May 21 New York Times study that calculated a company's profits returned to employees vs. shareholders... — read more
Remove HR and upper management from the restructuring equation
If they want to "restructure" they should remove HR and upper management from the equation when it comes to hiring and "letting people go". I can't tell you how many people I've seen hired or transferred to different departments by HR who don't have... — read more
counting
continued purging of 50+ and experience, sprinkled in with a few sacrificial youngsters to avoid appearance of age discrimination. so clever. the end is near.
Layoffs
What layoffs are this week?
Advice
I applied for a land position in OKC any advice?
I am so glad I left Marathon!!!!
Marathon use to be the standard. A great company that cares about its employees. I worked for Marathon in multiple states and still miss most of the people there. It started with Lee Tillman and his HR VP Deanna Jones. Now every time I look at... — read more
Just layed off..
Perm employees only. Contractors are safe this round.
New Layoffs
I heard layoffs are occuring at Marathon today, does anyone know what departments?
HR
I am an intern at Marathon what ways are employees spied on by HR?
Increased Pay Not An Incentive
The recent ‘forced’ attendance discussions feeding us the pablum that “studies have shown that increased pay is not an incentive to perform better” piqued my interest. For argument’s sake, let us assume it is a correct statement. Let’s just pretend... — read more
Raises
So did everyone get the 2% that was reported on the Wave? Post your raise percentages here.
Promotions
Why is it that some people get promoted and others don’t? Same experience, same asset, what gives?
Any word on Bonus, increases, or LTIP.
Just wondering
Callin' a spade, a spade this holiday season
Google "Cramer admits his biggest investing mistakes" and watch the video. Roughly a minute in, he provides his opinion on Marathon. Worth a peek. Lee has made Marathon Oil the laughing stock of Wall Street.
Just Sayin’
Since Dec 31, 2014 until market close Nov 22, 2017, the stock price depreciation of MRO and 4 of its peers is as follows: APA $62.33 to $41.54 - Down ~33% APC $82.30 to $48.35 - Down ~41% MRO $28.15 to $14.88 - Down ~47% MUR $50.02 to $28.20 - Down... — read more

Employee Appreciation
Who is going?
Workplace
Didn't make the good workplace list like most of our peers. Anybody know why?
Employee Meeting
Did others notice that questions cannot be asked anonymously any more? They asked for name and location.
Supply Chain
So what's new with our wonderful Supply Chain team... haven't seen much on them here lately.
Who's Minding This Store?
Hey, sports fans! Yesterday, I saw a new posting whose title began with, "A Diller, A Dollar." It's no longer amongst the postings list. Any ideas who's minding this store and why?
