Was visiting a friend in The Woodlands Saturday when a beautiful gray & red Ferrari came by, driven like a bat out of Hell. It came by so fast, bobbing and weaving through the traffic that I did not think to get the license. But, with virtual... — read more
Severance in upcoming fall PDC?
Does anyone know if you are "left standing" in a regular ( non ESP) PDC, is there a severance package similar to the spring ESP? I heard today that there is no package. That doesn't seem logical . Thanks for any info. Since PRC insists that there is... — read more
Closing Bell on June 27th
I just can't wait for Tilly and Co to ring the bell on Monday... why can't they do it every year in lieu of plebs' bonuses? Why doing this, Why now, Why this way, Mr Tillman?
Continuing to prove you can't find assets with the staff you have, so overpay and smile.
Continuing to prove you can't find assets with the staff you have. This will be the ticket, you will get you your bonus. Then leave!
Reason for EF departures
Why do EF VPs keep leaving? What did our most recent departed RVP find that made her leave after a long career and true loyalty to the company. I don't put faith in the rumors, but the have been a lot of higher ups of EF who left.

The Two Major Problems at Marathon Oil
There are two major problems, as follows: 1) Tillman, an Aggie, could not have been in the Corps of Cadets, or he would show loyalty to his team, including lower level members. He's another of these leaders totally devoid of moral authority who also... — read more
Boring Site - Fellow Employees Please Speak Out
This site is getting boring. After Marathon ran off most of its 55+ employees, probably 90% of its black and Hispanic employees, kept a ton of Scots probably by lying to Immigration about the criticality of their skills / need, and laid off every... — read more
Riddles
Our board doesn't have a clue. What's poor Carri Lockhart to do? Employees would be wise Not to point out Lee's lies. Better just work somewhere new.
Takeover Tomorrow
So tomorrow is the day Merit takes over the Wyoming asset. How long do the current MRO employees get to hang around before they are told to evacuate the premises?
Layoffs again?
Any details from this collection of intellectuals on this blog?
Tillman should get a raise for having to put up with all this sh--!
BTW, Thanks for the BJ Lee. Okay, I guess I am thanking you in advance.
Marathon Oil is a JOKE
I first started with marathon a few years back and quickly realized after coming from a major oil company that this has to be a joke. Marathon acts like this is their first time in an oil patch, but I guess that is because of the lack of leadership... — read more

"Poor Safety Culture" - Glassdoor review..

Eagle Ford Leadership Stability?
October 2015 - Kirk resigns. May 2016 - Carri resigns. Two Marathon lifers on to better endeavors. Good luck Dale! Many question marks about this assignment.
$400 million loss
Donating to Donald Trump's campaign would be a better use of capital than continuing to drill Eagle Ford. Shut it in and wait for supply to drop. Duh.

Glassdoor
Do you think all these new 4 and 5 star ratings on glass door came from blue jeans & co.?
Let's see if the Wyoming, Colorado, and Gulf asset sales close. Nobody wants those assets.
The only firm offers we have had are for our Eagleford assets. It would be great if we could sale Wyoming, Colorado, and Gulf assets but water flood, well bore repairs, and production declines will put them off and they won't close!
Stock price up over 12%
Something is working! Stock price is coming back up!

The Street Ratings Not Encouraging
The Street Ratings gave Marathon Oil a "D" with a "Sell" http://www.thestreet.com/files/r/ratings/equities/MRO_weiss.pdf Worth reading
We are shopping our assets around.
Although the offer was good we believe it will be more valuable to a competitor in same area. Now we do the dance ever so carefully so as not to appear desperate but possibly willing to part with our Eagleford assets. All employees supporting it that... — read more
