Agree, latest update is that it may be more of a moving target. Looks like Andeavor is way ahead of Marathon with several departments that aren't necessarily geo specific. My bud has been tasked with finishing a project so they can make a stronger argument to keep his group local. There's also the matter of the 20+ million dollar building.
I had been under the impression that USAA owned the building. Even then, there's likely a large long-term lease.
I don't know anything. This whole thing is interesting to follow.
I worked there (01-09) and helped PM the new building project from an IT point of view. Yes, Tesoro bought all the land, built the building, and sold that part of the land and building to USAA. Then they had the rest of Ridgewood Park developed / sold.
Y'all will be happy to know that there are two rooms in the parking garage (IT and Comms) that I left with maroon and white floor tiles. Also, when I built the data center, the floor of the electric room was painted maroon.
They just finished a major upgrade and overhaul of SAP. Integrating with Marathon seems like it will be a repeat of all of that work. Yuck.
I agree with y'all...it is sad for SA and a lot of jobs will likely go away.
