Nobody is going extinct via natural selection. Only survivors will be those I let stay. Time to give my friend Carl another stock bump!

You can always get something for less - but at what cost?

Once CHKers find out their numbers many will leave and for those who stay employee satisfaction performance and efficiency will decline sharply, hope it's worth the savings.

I choose door #3

What's the over under on how many people leave once they find out their bonus? I'm gonna go conservative and say 500

Well whenever it is you can be sure it will be likely to occur in mid jan - early march of a calendar year. Why you ask? Because that way management will get their bonuses and don't have to pay the employees. My guess , look at more of the... — read more 

XOM can take a Williston a lot longer than XTO or CHK.

If you will please put your seats in an upright position and stow your tray tables, we will be making our final descent shortly. Oh the humanity...

Continued to miss earnings estimates after the XTO acquisition...guess the people on Wall Street know the business

My brother works in private equity, and says you are wrong and whoever posted the XTO deal was bad from a growth perspective for XOM was correct. Cheers troll

The XTO deal wasa good deal for XOM. You need to know something about the business before you make comments as such. Just being honest not trying to judge.

Yeah, they are still trying to heal wounds from the bad XTO buyout performance . Besides CHK has a balance sheet with about 5-7 B debt too much and head count still too high

Try naming a company not cutting headcount and spinning off assets themselves. Or even better talk to some friends in private equity and they can explain things to you

Exxon will be making a move real soon to buy the company and it couldn't happen to a company that needs a lot of help.

@headhunters, you should post your contact info. Most I believe have found a new home. But there are often missed searches and opportunities. If the price is right.

Seeeeee yaaaaaa!

With your stock underperforming I promise you more layoffs are coming. I've been around long enough I see this before. Uncle Carl and Archie will force via the Board of Directors to have another layoff to increase earnings per share. I encourage each... — read more 

Well the stock continues to look terrible, I'm ready for a small rebound to cash out. What happens if this continues to underperform? Does Doug get the "Change" paperwork himself? Waiting to see what happens Feb 20th before I sell. I'm glad they... — read more 

We'll nice to see Doug and his direct reports get there stock bonus the same time as we do. Management is so full of shit that they are in with us when they get their stock on January 10th and everyone else has to wait until March 15th. Would also be... — read more 

Is Chesapeake ever going to stop waiting money?

Had one offer me everything in writing as a legal binding contract with a guaranteed severance, I love this new thing called transparency I am getting exposed to. Offered an even higher package if I moved to land in Houston. I even knew someone last... — read more 

Shouldn't you people be setting your goals right now? My goal is to brag about all the headhunter calls I've been getting.

Don't worry the mass exodus hasn't run it's course either. I got 4 calls just today from headhunters. Happy hunting girls and boys and I take all their calls

Equaled value leakage at CHK, at a new company with a future. Suggest you all do the same when you get the call. Headhunter put everything in writing and they gave me a sign on bonus to compensate for the stock I love. Another happier here.

That's a joke. Regardless of the rumor mill, CHK has probably 2-3 yrs to get its debt knocked down to become a buyout target. Too much in flux and too much debt...hence the reason Aubrey was never bought out. If I had to guess who would potentially... — read more 

Are they buying CHK?

Chk is not the only company in trouble. Every shale play except the Williston is making money for the ones involved in developing the tight shale of each play. The other companies will be laying off within 2-3 years when the public stop supporting... — read more 

Of course it is merely ceremonial since you are not a current or former employee. Is like when we fired "Meatloaf"

I'm eating Bakken and eggs tomorrow.

Has anyone ever heard of the Pronghorn sand? Google it up. Touting it better than Bakken! Chesapeake's acreage is in the sweet spot.

You whiners don't know how good you have it in this industry. Stop bitching and just leave. I'm sure you'll find something to bitch about at your new job too.

All that did was make my decision to leave easier

I have interviews scheduled with 3 more of them this week. I suggest the rest of you do the same, saw lots of openings for land, just look around at the campus billboards if you need a starting point. Both companies highly recommended by people... — read more
