Thread regarding Marathon Oil Corp. layoffs

MPC. Much better than MRO

All you defenders of the status quo, please explain why MRO has a market cap under 50% of its former sister MPC, perhaps poor strategic leadership, especially when the firms were equal when split. Before you say ‘it’s the business we’re in,’ why has MRO underperformed HES, which has been racking up huge discoveries in Guyana while MRO overpays for poor acreage in the resources plays. Tell Lee to take off the binders, please.

BTW, people post anonymously as they know there will be Hell to pay if they are identified. Perhaps an anonymous suggestion box could be put on one of the floors (without camera, please), as there really is ZERO tolerance for ideas in MRO, unless they come from the top.

If you like MPC better, consider going to MPC. Maybe you prefer the certainty and predictability of downstream and manufacturing more than unconventional upstream. If you are miserable, at some point that becomes your own problem. You have control ove where you choose to work. So maybe it is time you make a different choice. Either way, spreading negativity around is not helpful to anyone.

No argument here, but why stay? If you are over 40 y.o., negotiate a severance. Management will be happy to see you go so they can hire someone young and cheap. You can take your windfall and work someplace where you are happy. Win-win.
