Thread regarding Chesapeake Energy Corp. layoffs

Looking for gainful employment...

I was one of those who lost my job yesterday. I'm a single guy, so it doesn't really affect anyone other than myself, but it's still gonna be tough going for a while, as I have no savings. I've been living paycheck to paycheck for the past 5-7 years. I still owe about $71,000 on my newly aquired 2015 Denali 4x4 dually diesel, and the mortgage on my Edmond home is about $3,600/month.

If anyone knows anyone hiring, please let me know. I don't have any "real" tangible work skills or abilities, and I don't have a degree. However, they were paying me $160,000 a year to sit in a chair and stare at a mechanical gauge on a wall for 4 hours a day out in Elk City. So I need a job making comparable money. Let me know, K thanks!

I do not know anyone from the Oklahoma City campus so I cannot make any assumptions as to their salaries. I do agree that probably to many people bought big trucks and big houses with big payments. I fortunately have always kept my purchases within a limit that I can afford if I lost my job. Plus I would rather have an older truck and house and take trips rather that have newer things and not be able to afford anything. I hope.eveything eventually works out for people

16831- good post and some good points but God Damn, your grammar is shit. That's probably the reason you haven't been able to get a good job.

This is the funny bunch of BS! These poor poor people lost their job? Some of us couldn't get anyone to even look at our Resume, until we were willing to screw someone! I have a Masters Degree, Student loan of 400+ a month, kids that had to work fulltime and gave of College for now, lost my home, lost my car, living with friends, furniture in Storage which is a struggle to make that payment every month! All these "none educated" people that been able to get into a corporation because they knew, slept or had someone second cousin removed twice by marriage and they were paid more than I have every made in my entire life, that's one of the reasons this Dumbass company's are in the position they are in? Know one working there had any knowledge, just looks and could be whatever they needed to be to draw a outlandish salary! How stupid are these people that their world is "coming to an end"? Actually, they got to live a fairytale! Welcome, to the real world of real hard working people that were "over qualified", or actually to smart to sit in a chair all day and do nothing, but wait for someone to give them direction! One of the saddest things is that Know one will learn anything from this! The idiot HR (gate keepers) decide who gets interview and they don't have a clue about any skills, education or qualification YET they push through the dumbasses, of course KNOWONE wants to hire anyone who is half way smart and can think on their own, because that is a threat. Sad, that education and experience is a bad thing, people in charge on Hiring want to dumb down the employees so they wont have to step and be anything or show that they really don't know how to or couldn't do the LARGE TITLE they hold! I say fire everyone, clean house, get HR people in that don't have skin in the game! Make these free loading idiots work for a job!

No job skills or degree?? You are SOL. Sell everything as fast as you can as you will never make the $$$ as you have in the past. Good luck. Plus you over paid for your truck to begin with!

Obviously this is snark, but lets all take a minute to celebrate that there are now 740 people that are the real version of this coming crashing back down to reality.

welcome to the world of the typical American today....in debt up to your eyeballs and unemployed. Good luck but there are very few jobs out there that will pay you 160K a year to do nothing.....maybe it's time to find a skill.
