Is anyone still old enough to remember the good ol’ days when a hurricane in the Gulf meant “go home and take care of your family”? Say what you will about “ old school” leadership, but Cazalot wanted us all to live. I remember a time when MRO would hook you up with a generator and gasoline, diapers for your kids, pr-scrip-ion refills or whatever MRO could do that you couldn’t. Marathon was never perfect, but back then the company would leverage its influence and logistics to help the employees.
Now we are a small company, led by smaller men with smaller reach.
