Mess up to move on, the MPC way?
I’d love to know perspectives on this. When a Grade 15,16,17 or 18 doesn’t do well in a job, we make up a corporate spot for them, let them keep a huge salary and essentially put them out to pasture. Why do we do this, is it to avoid lawsuits? If... — read more

Will M.P.C. be affected by a Conoco Phillips purchase of Marathon Oil?

Based on the employee brief that was sent out on 5/7, how will employees be tested via "reasonable suspicion"? Are refinery engineers at GBR/GVL considered Non-DOT?
Nepotism redefined!
This company will literally promote the most unskilled people imaginable because their grandaddy worked in Findlay while ignoring people with real talent that don’t line up like yes men.
Henni guesses?
Any guesses as to the BS Henni gonna sling in the corp town hall? Moving SA office to H Town??
Just a reminder

So, inquiring minds want to know - how’s the hiring practices at your facility? Do people who apply for jobs actually get an interview, or is someone who didn’t even apply hand picked by the GM? Are hiring managers allowed to “hire”? — read more
Why is this board so active?

Anyone else hear anything about the stance on THC testing changing?
I have heard 2x now that this is coming. Once from a very reliable source and another time from a branch on the grape vine. I'm guessing that if it is changing it is due to the new AB 2188 in California.

Marathon Stock
Remember that one time last year when the company said they're going to limit purchases of Marathon stock to 25% in our 401K - for our "protection"? Notice that limit didn't apply to the C-Suite and their stock based compensation, while we break... — read more
