SWN Offers
So did only the new co mgmt candidates at SWN get offers last week?
Impending RIF
So how many folks in OKC will get whacked come October 1? There is still a lot of corporate fat -- namely people who just put on events, go to ribbon cuttings and BS company awards dinners don't really do anything otherwise. Especially since we only... — read more
Just waiting for the next round of layoffs
Since they communicated that the last round had nothing to do with the merger, that just leaves them the ability to do another round and then say that was due to the merger. Houston will be everyone’s home in the near future or we will be left in... — read more
Bleeding money
Let's check the boxes. Bleeding money Downsize again Give ourselves raises Yep, that about covers it.
Looks like Nick may have learned his lesson
Nick sure has been quite lately on the stock and its potential. He came out strong about how we were poised to be over $100 and he has struggled to keep it above $90. Nothing but crickets out of the E suite on that. Hopefully they learned that we see... — read more
The worst lineup of VPs in the industry
It’s incredible that through all the poor decisions CHK has made over the years, they choose to stick with a bunch of VPs who haven’t been anywhere else and played major roles in CHK’s struggles. The only solutions they can come up with are to cut... — read more
Alvarez & Marsal Coming Back Party!!
Our good friends at A&M are coming back to CHK! I guess we didn’t pay them enough during bankruptcy, so they’re coming for more. A&M acquired Carnrite to team up to fu-k CHK dry - truly a specialty of both of theirs. They’re reviewing IT cost... — read more
So you are moving to a literal SWNp
Get ready for the challenging era where the culture of the 70's is resurfacing. You'll encounter engineers and geologists who may not meet your expectations, from those who carry a laptop around as if it's a badge of honor, to those who criticize... — read more
Plenty of problems
There are plenty of problems in this world and adequate negativity around every corner. You can’t let Nick or his cronies get you down. I can assure you that SWN leaders are coming in looking to replace you since they are headed to Houston where the... — read more
Revenue Director Experience (Or lack there of)
The Revenue Accounting Director has absolutely no experience in Revenue. He spends most his time su-king up to GL and meeting in Creekside. This guy wouldn’t last a day at any other company in Revenue accounting. Everyone in Revenue and Accounting... — read more
Welcome interns!
Welcome to Chesapeake. You will learn so many valuable things this summer. Like how to "work from home" (aka play golf but answer an email every hour or so). And you will see how professionals do a mass layoff. Maybe a couple times while you are... — read more
Tisk Tisk
Looks like I won’t have the option to come to OKC, but instead will be in Houston. Word around the coffee pot is the banks intent is to make Houston the main office and eventually close down and sell the OKC campus. In the long run this will be good... — read more
Sinking Ship
It’s easier to find a job while you have a job. This ship is going down (with or without SWN merger) and everyone will be affected at that point which will saturate the field. Would’ve been a great place for an OIL & gas company!
Many of you won't have a job by Tuesday
Your sh-t is being boxed up as we speak.
Nick, you need to pop a blue chew!
The stock is going limp and you need to er--t it back up above the $90 mark. Pop a blew chew and keep our stock standing tall.
About 10%
80 people let go today...
This has nothing to do w/ Eagle Ford
These layoffs have nothing to do w/ the divestiture of Eagle Ford assets and everything to do with the upcoming merger with SWN. The company is simply using this opportunity to avoid the larger severance packages they will be required to give out... — read more
Not sure what we expect
The HR department, for the most part, is inexperienced, especially leadership. They don’t know how to properly conduct a layoff that is professional and respectful. Good luck everyone. I really mean that.
6-21 LAYOFFS
So it begins... Sit and wait for phone call.. May the odds ever be in your favor..
Real question
Has this company always been so negative and toxic? That’s all that is on these postings. A select few VPs are consistently called out and apparently there is a history with some people that are no longer around. Just curious what I have got myself... — read more
Congrats Nick
You got the stock up past the $90 twice in the last month. I see your still struggling to keep it up in more ways that once though!
Leadership changes
Announced yesterday - one Chk senior leader doesn't survive the merger. Now we will hear about vp level. Who survives and who doesn't?
Happy 4/20 Peakers
Started the celebration early. Here’s to the weekend.
CHK equals a clown car
Not the title you are thinking but rather all you clowns with a sense of entitlement. The purchase of SWN is next level genius and will vault our stock to mid $100s by year end. Best part we will see CHK > SWN layoffs to get rid of the entitlement... — read more
Will CHK survive 2024?
Are you confident in corporate leadership? Haynesville leadership? Marcellus leadership? A rudderless ship.
What a week already
This week has been a true delight. We all got some cool shades to observe the sun & moon interaction and enjoy some late afternoon snacks and downtime. Nothing better than coming to work and collaborating over breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee... — read more
Busted!!!
The money hounds are after you Nick the nDick. Move it , twist it, shake it and pull it but real non biased auditors will Bop-it.
Thanks Nick
Right at a year ago Nick made a public statement telling everyone how great CHK was and how our stock was poised to be above $100 a share. Here we are a year later and we continue to struggle to hurdle the $90 mark. Great advice Nick! Glad we... — read more
Who could have predicted?
I am in absolute awe as I hear the stories of 40’ Christmas trees being hauled in from the east coast, $1M contracts to install Christmas lights, F5 rated data center, thirsty Thursdays at the fountain, four restaurants and multiple Starbucks, giving... — read more
Schwenn is here to win
As we get to start to see inside of this glass house, there is no mystery of why this place is in shambles. You all keep acting and spending like you are financially stable, but this place is one bad deal away from another forced RIF. I see now why... — read more
Are we really stuck with those id--ts post merger
Seriously are we gonna get stuck with a bunch of id--ts or SWNidoits when we already have way to many here in OKC. Yes there is such a thing called CHKidiots. Asking for all the hardworking guys at the well site.
Memory lane
Who remembers the mantra of How goes STX, so goes the Company”? Well, there is one statement where they spoke the truth. Spreading positive vibes one day at a time.
Whose house is it?
Is it the house of CHK (losers) or house of SWN (winners and e and p geniuses). Ssshhh. Let ya in on a secret it’s actually neither. It’s a house of FAILURES so says the street and then o and g industry.
What a joke
The Chesapeake name has been a joke for sooo long. Continuous layoffs, encouraging their own employees to purchase their stock knowing they were going to file bankruptcy, unethical practices of putting people in roles simply because of their gender... — read more
What is the new name of the company?
I heard it was Enron II. If this is true, I really think this name fits the company's values ( or lack there of) and business plan going forward. Congrats on the new name that the shareholders that lost millions will appreciate.
Major Announcement says a bird on a wire
To placate all the whiners in OKC and Houston. Management is gonna do mass layoffs. Keep the best of the best and relocate to Dallas to start anew. So says a bird on a wire
I can’t wait to discard this brand
The CHK brand has been burdened with dishonesty, shady business tactics, toxic leadership, and unethical practices for far too long. Hopefully this new brand will bring about a positive change and solidify this once we close the OKC campus and move... — read more
