I am pretty sure that very few here really believe in our leadership. This is a big issue that negatively impacts work performance. What is unusual is that the leadership here does not see this as a problem that needs to be fixed, it's simply not... —  read more 

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 

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?

More layoffs in the works.

Wondering how much longer we can continue hiding the incidents and spills in the field just so we get bonuses or allow superintendents to make contractors employ their cousins.

Does anyone know when promotions are happening? This applies to people who work at CHK

I gained a little experience but missed out on many other things. I don't think I'm the only one? I blame myself for trusting the management. I don't want to go into details about how I was deceived here, but I advise everyone not to trust the... —  read more

I am really struggling how we had leadership that encouraged us to buy their stocks by telling us how we are doing great and it was just the analyst not understanding. Month after month they told us this knowing they were going to file bankruptcy... —  read more 

Any bets on how many departing as soon as bonus hit bank accounts? Which group will have largest exit?

My coworkers and I were laughing yesterday about how many of us were on anti-depressant and anxiety meds. What we realized is that we all started taking them after we started to work here. Where is the ownership on the company that created this... —  read more

All oil wells are under tremendous pressure. When you drill into them or expose them to the earths surface they would erupt the oil on the ground. You stop this with mud and lots of it. The mud type and amount is determined by CHK engineers. They... —  read more 

When are bonuses being paid and what's up with everyone being so tight lipped about the multiplier?

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 

I can only talk about my experience here so far and I really haven’t noticed that the atmosphere is anything particularly more toxic than in other companies I’ve worked for. On the other hand, it was only before I came here that I was warned that... —  read more

What a joke that is.. let's people carry over there PTO now. Stay home check an email or 2 and call it 9 hours work. They should make people show the daily work you did from home to add up to 9 hours of work. But they only allow certain people to... —  read more

It’s. About. Time! This dude has been a cancer for a long time. Now if they continue on down the drilling chain and cut loose all the guys that he’s protected for years and years. If I were the STX OG Click, I would blow the dust off that ole resume... —  read more

Saw a post about company moving to Houston. Do you really think that will happen?

I do not agree at all with those who say that all talented people have left this company a long time ago. It's not true. Despite everything, there are still many talented and capable people, but the question is how long they will want to stay here... —  read more 

Hug your favorite ops person because after March they will be gone. Devon and continental are poaching talented people that are tired of the CHK circus.

Record breaking profits since our debt was slashed. Considering how poor the raises were this year and our 401k's were slashed, it's the least you could do.

Heard with new work structure and continued reduced staff they are looking at moving to Houston in 2nd qtr. will allow our management to find someone to buy campus and get rid of most of old staff baggage

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 

Guess we are back to the old CHK of not reporting injuries and allowing small favors from contractors in the field!!

I was ready to retire, wouldn't lie so I didn't fit in as a team player, and I thought most of management were unethical, inexperienced, narcissistic as-----s. The company violated all of my ethical principles. So thank you management for laying me... —  read more
