Words of Wisdom
I adapted to what CHK wanted me to be only to find out that I lost myself. Here’s my advice. Never and I mean never apologize for the way you talk, look, or just being yourself. CHK is as toxic as they come. If someone doesn’t like who you are. Fu-k... — read more
Target groups
Always smoke and mirrors here. Anyone to spill the beans on who were the target groups that got hit the hardest? Does anyone know how many were affected?

At the end of the day it’s really not that funny is it?

When are bonuses being paid?
When are bonuses being paid and what's up with everyone being so tight lipped about the multiplier?
Why bother?
I always wonder about those who know what kind of company this is, where competencies and effort are not valued at all, but they still give 150% of themselves. Why all this effort if it won't be noticed and adequately rewarded? People burn... — read more

Chesapeake is one of the worst companies I have ever observed in operational ethics. It is nothing short of miraculous (IMHO), that they haven't been caught in more of their shenanigans they have pulled over the years. I'm looking for ex-employees... — read more
