Is GSC good for anything other than getting invoices paid? Zero value add. If we need to cut G&A I suggest we start there.

Most of the good GSC talent that understood asset operations across drl, cmp, and prod left for roles within other support organizations or were shown the door.
There is no need for a Global Supply Chain Organization in the new $3 Marathon. It is a massive overhead that adds little except Soviet style bureaucracy and worship of its Management. Time to outsource.
This thread is hilarious. There couldn’t possibly be anything wrong with any of you precious (GSC) gems. You’re right...again! LOL
We keep engineers because they’re more expensive to hire...and the vast n my ajority of them are yes-men in the hood graves of their supervisors
GSC are all smoke and mirrors, no experience and no idea how things work in the field.
How many engineers does it take to manage one rig? One frac crew? Going after GSC is a joke. Our engineering teams are fat and happy. Time to take a look in the mirror
What needs to be done is increase executive pay so the people at the top get smarter!
MRO needs to accept they are not a large company anymore and will only continue to get smaller. There is no need to have all this extra weight and all these additional processes that cost the company more money to implement that are not needed for a company down sizing day by day.
Looks like someone from the field didn’t get to award his buddy some work.
Got to love how all of Marathons problems would be resolved by defunding support functions. I thought petrotechs were the life blood of the company. Just maybe that’s where the biggest issues are.
MOC’s problem and performance has nothing to do with GSC, HR, or any other support organization typically torn down on this site. Look inward.....
????GSC doesn’t pay invoices...
Sounds like a jr engineer didn’t get their way.
If asset teams would pull their heads out, be accountable and willing to take risks then maybe MRO wouldn’t be chasing EOGs next big idea.
Beat on self sourced sand, regional sand, dual fuel, electric fleet.
Planning can’t plan so how can GSC effectively negotiate contracts?
I’ll give you that from a streamline systems perspective GSC is lacking and there are too many touch points from sourcing, contracting, to invoicing.
Invoices don't get paid on time so not sure if you want to give them credit for that.
