This is only for serious discussion about layoff news and prediction. Please no more clogged toilets or potty humor. We are having a below average quarter even though it will get spun as “insert WJW buzz words here” on April 30. My prediction... —  read more 

More people gone from WV? Was this another layoff?

The pressure is the stock price. So as we tank get ready for Part Deux 2021 Layoffs!

Not sure if y’all caught the article in “The CEO Magazine”, February issue, page 58, that had Way ranked at the bottom for CEO’s in our space. Interesting. Several key performance metrics are used including shareholder return, employee satisfaction... —  read more 

Wow, a Tim Hortons coming to a SWN Market near you, eh? Yes, you heard that right! What a beauty! Is this proof that there is a big merger in your future? Us Canucks don’t drink that over priced American coffee, plus Timmy’s is the only proper... —  read more 

Big Org Announcement Next Week!! Check Back Here For Advance Details!! When You Find Out Keep The Gossip To A Minimum!!

People laid off from land should contact brokers on the SWN approved vendors’ list for work. I’ve noticed that many land brokers SWN used received multiple huge loans from the Federal Government PPP. Western Land Services received nearly 5 million... —  read more 

Does Southwestern rehire employees who were laid off before? This does not affect me, but I was curious in general. We’ve lost some of our best employees in the past several layoffs rounds so I was wondering if they would be taken back if the... —  read more 

I have about 20 swn shirts from all the milestone achievements. I have no idea what to do with them after being laid off. Should I donate them to a homeless shelter? I hate to just throw them away since I work for a new company now.

Is there a merger coming this year or next year? It seems like the only thing that will keep us afloat in the long term at this point.

Being let go is not as bad as it seems. It’s a new birth, or the way I see it, fresh air for a change. It’s much like the movies, where in the beginning, the star is being released from prison. With box in hand and all eyes upon him, he takes that... —  read more 

LAYOFF Tips and Tricks Folks, As we’ve just made it through yet another layoff, we likely have another one right around the corner, and it’s time to start prepping! While all of us (all 786 of us) probably don’t know what the future holds, we hope... —  read more 

I don’t know whether to criticize SWN or freaking thank them. What I will say is I busted my butt for this company for 9+ years. Worked weekends and had my share of nights just like everyone else. At first I was angry and maybe a small part of me... —  read more 

I am a previous SWN employee. I am reading these posts and wondering how many employees are left? Ballpark is okay...

What’s next for those of us who’ve managed to survived the 6th round of layoffs within the past 6 years??? The work load is the same, but fewer folks...the re-orgs seem like temporary setups to see who’s pulling their weight and spot lighting the... —  read more 

The title says it all in CAPS. Get ready to hit the trail to PA for a few. Most will be left behind. Including all c-suite execs.

We lost 14 cents a share in the 4q after we lost billions last year. Why can't the losers that run this company make 10 cents in profit every once in a while. It's pathetic. I could just cry!

Too soon?

Who were all the ladies and gents to be let go up in Tunk?

WJW - Loser Personified! WJW was named CEO of this company in January of 2016, just before he laid off 1200 employees. Well, it has been 5 years and this CEO has done nothing to turn around this company except have layoffs every year. He has laid... —  read more 

Once you figure out the meaning to thread title then you like me know what a game changer will be for us next week. Just saying ya’ll!

Guess the power is on at my supervisor’s home in Spring. How the f did I get a pink slip today here in Tunkhannock. Going to pick up some beer for me and wine for the wifey

This is an urgent message. We are offering a $250 reward seeking information leading to the apprehension of a mole inside of the SWN organization. Top secret information pertaining to layoffs and our building sale/eviction has been distributed... —  read more 

I am seeing more and more that people with experience are being exited and replaced by far less experienced people. It is glaringly obvious that experience doesn’t count for much and this is more about who liked it. So many promotions my god. I have... —  read more 

With all these posts I am starting to think not so much! We are all frustrated and dismayed working here but get a grip. I come to this site for insight about layoffs not about wet t shirt calendars and stuff!

It's natural that in times of change, people are more reluctant to speak up. Having said that personally there is no way I would speak up at the moment. A lot of that depends on your line manager of course, but I wouldn't trust anything to go through... —  read more 

Early next week will be a “step change” or a “pivot” for us. It may be layoffs or it may not. It may be a newly retired exec or a shuffle of high ranking leaders or not. Perhaps the BOD changes or a merger is announced or not. Be ready for change... —  read more

Nothing else to really say. Layoffs going to be occurring this week. All field offices and Spring. Virtual layoffs in Spring. Managers may be doing it in group setting on Zoom. Pink slip packages will be emailed.

LAYOFFS DELAYED BY AT LEAST ONE WEEK. I REPEAT, layoffs delayed by at least one week I’ve been told by an insider “in the know”. We should plan on layoffs the week of Jan 25 which will symbolically correspond to the same week of the 2016 “SWN... —  read more 

A few months ago I stopped worrying about layoffs since I had no choice. It affected my stress levels and affected my health. I realized there was no point in it. If it happens (and it will) there is nothing that can be done about it. Instead I... —  read more 

This is beyond priceless. A friend of mine (former coworker) is going to petition city to rename SWN drive in Conway to Flywheel Energy Drive. Anyone want to sign the petition?

Tough scene on Energy Drive this week! Happy New Year! Not so happy layoffs! Good luck everyone.

If a smaller PA based E&P buys us in 1Q will we get a chance to relo? Asking for my Spring friends!

Less than two weeks remain until the mass layoffs. Some colleagues say that we should look at things positively, that is, we should be happy that we will finally be leaving this company. It doesn't comfort me because I’ve left my best years here and... —  read more 

I know what I am gonna do with the bonus that was dropped in my bank account today. Do you know what you will do? Thank you Chairman and CEO Bill Way!!!

What happened to the investigation of the kick backs paid to members of Land from Purple Land Management, Holland Land, Percheron, Western Land Services, TS Dudley, Honor Resources, etc.?

I have become highly expert at making PowerPoint presentations. I have successfully turned horrible news into favorable results with many years of PowerPoint training. I have presented to many levels of management, fooling the brightest with my color... —  read more 

Got an email tonight by mistake as my name is similar to another in the address book. With HP moving to Houston, we are moving out of Spring in mid 2021. They are paying a premium in cash for our building. Moving all tenants out. Betting we all have... —  read more 

Been told that this week supervisors can layoff up to 2 people from their team if needed. No quota just a little preemptive housecleaning. Thinking is to cut loose low performers to save some bonus money. Makes sense. This does not change the fact... —  read more
