Rumored Announcement Friday May 20

Some big announcement is pending for Friday. Unfortunately, it does NOT appear to be that the unscrupulous VP of HR will depart, in spite of widespread hopes to the contrary.

The company contact for H1B and Green cards needs to be updated as the person listed has not been with the company since February 2015. But, is compliance a value-added activity?

If that is the case then its not necessarily a H1-B.. its some other work visa.. If you didn't know.. there are other O&G companies currently being audited by US immigration.. Go look for O&G jobs that have postings that require people to submit resumes to Atlanta to the "labor certification PO box" companies have been caught with their hand in the cookie jar... Seriously.. its not easy right now to bring in a load of people for H1-B.. This situation could be a one of case..

@HsDh6XP-8oie Clearly you have no clue. There is a replacement for George Dozier that is waiting on a visa as we speak. H1B visas are not an obstacle for employment.

@HsDh6XP-7omw.. you must not understand how H1-B's work.. People don't get hired and wait for H1-B before working at any company.. I would suspect most of the H1-Bs are long gone.. You're pretty pathetic to think that a company as ridiculous as MRO can get away with trying to bring in H1-B's in this current climate.. I would almost guarantee that the government would reject all applications given that it would be impossible for MRO to prove that there is no one else qualified to take the job.. Jobs need to be posted on newspapers, major job websites, and marathon has to show that no one is qualified.. Companies are already getting ton's of resumes whenever they post jobs now... NO H1B's will get approved especially for Petrotechnicals in the O&G business regardless of company..

No need to worry, the H1B visa applicants will be there soon!

The board needs to fire unethical Lee Tillman and replace with Lance. Lance can think on his own and not be so dependent on the other execs to make strategic decisions.

"Didn't realize how lazy MRO employees are until I started working for a real company... Normal tasks take forever to complete because people are "away" for 1-2 hours at a time gossiping with their peers."

Many employees are zoned out from prescription and illegal drugs. If HR scheduled a random drug test of employees (especially that little audit department on 24) they would not have to worry about layoffs, lawsuits, or severance packages.

"They decided to wait... due to this thread." Wow. Delusional. Like anyone cares what you coddled, entitled people think. The only reason MRO is where it is today is becaise it hung on to all of you far too long. You should have been ousted at the time of the split and anyone with half a brain knows that.

Thanks Lee, we won't let you down.

Go fire Lance and replace him with the HR princess and carry on until the stock price is below 5. Then walk out with 40 million for 3 years effort.

Y'all are such a sad, lonely, last picked in middle school for gym, first out the door for layoffs (for a reason) bunch of lazy trolls. Now that you have ultimately failed in life, let your families down, and been exposed for being the washed up and entitled cry babies that you are, you rely on a site like this to give you a moment of satisfaction. Get a life - so pathetic!

MRO does nothing on Friday and very little the rest of the week.

No company would buy MRO due to them having no assets with upsides. You would be better off buying a bankrupt company with untested acreage.

Man that HR bitch is crawling with crabs.

Very true. Tillman has a trust issue and has IT provide such reports. It could be a simple letter from the CEO. They run reports to see who forwarded it to an outside address. They run reports on who uses guestnet, etc. You'd think he would have better things to do. He has created a state of paranoia as the new MRO culture. Go Tillman! From your IT source.

Pls be careful and DO NOT reply on your personal email by logging on through guestnet, as contacts to these sites are being closely monitored by IT, under instruction from HR. it would be wise not to access this, or related, sites while at work. No, thus is not because one should never do anything but work without any diversions, but IS simply because big brother is watching. Tillman has converted an employee friendly company into one run in a fashion that would make the Gestapho proud, headed by a foreign HR VP, with termination being the ultimate punishment. Note that not all terminations include severance...

HR has two full timers checking all these sites, to counter the utter contempt everyone below Lee / Sult has for our Canadian HR leader.

I wish there was a "like" button! LMAO!! Exactly, must not be a huge deal since the announcement is on Friday. In that thought maybe Sult or Jones is leaving. Or, maybe we're getting a new Chairman. Again, not a big deal. Or, Maybe they will bring in donuts and coffee. Not worth coming in on my Friday off.
