I guess EY didn't feel it necessary to talk to employees or stock holders.
For those keeping score at home, SWN stock is down ~49% since he was named CEO and ~91% since he was named COO.
Numerous layoffs and "our future is bright" statements later, we are trash.
What a joke!
SWN LinkedIn page posted about BW being a finalist a couple weeks ago... It's the only post they've made with disabled comments. I wonder what people were saying about our fearless leader?
No sir, I disagree. Our leadership is as genuine as they come. I was told I’m a “straight shooter with upper management written all over me”. I’m confident the Thursday event is our mid year bonuses coming to fruition. I’ve already taken the liberty of booking a surprise trip for my family for July. So excited!
Authentic leadership is what you don’t have and you talk about it aaaallll the time. Get a grip!
Update the percentages in the original post. Way clueless. Stock is sinking while he beats chest about Entrepreneur of Year. Next, someone (he or his sidekick) will nominate him from Employee of Year.
Repositioned
Reengineered
Reenergized
We need a Re-Do at CEO. R^4
Only thing for sure gonna happen by midyear are more layoffs. Range just had layoffs yesterday
I have hope. I need this mid year bonus for bills. Please Mr Way do the right thing for the right people. Don’t care if you have clogged the toilet (guessing that is not true at least I hope so) just do all of us a favor for the hard work!
I have no hope of getting a mid year bonus. The stock price is down today, presumably on the news of this rumor (and Mr Ways bathroom habits no doubt). To get to $4 by July 1 doesn’t seem as daunting as “50 in 5”, but yet it does! I’m going to announce to my family tonight that there will be no summer vacation this year. Bummer. Mr Way, go ahead and keep your stock shares.
Not so fast folks. Here’s what we’re hearing. Mr Way has indeed been doing some soul searching (and no doubt ruining people’s clothes who come within 30 feet of the 5th floor men’s room), however it’s not going to be as simple as just “you get a mid year bonus”. He will be declaring that it is YOUR job as employees to get this stock price moving in the right direction! Here’s the new deal: If by, July 1, you move our stock price to $4 or better, there will be mid year bonuses for most of the staff (except Chef, as he isn’t making Mr. Ways favorite breakfast any longer). However, if the stock price doesn’t reach $4 by July 1, its LAYOFF time! Better get to work if you want that extra coin!
Prayers answered. I need this mid year bonus as I have mounting medical bills from my child’s hospital stay. I won’t have to worry about rent or having my car repossessed at least this month. Thank you Mr Way a true leader
YAAASSSSSSSS! Thank you Mr Way for being an inspiration and doing us all a solid! Mid year spot bonuses are just what the doctor ordered for summer! Got several trips planned and can use some extra coin! Hey if it’s just a rumor it must be true! Thank you!
Seems legit about mid year bonuses. Overheard some people in the know and this was discussed. So glad to hear this news verses layoffs.
Go see the other thread. Not sure who M and S are but they must be important and on the inside. NO LAYOFFS!!! Bonuses in near future. I am going to ask my boss about this today!!!!
Thanks for using our bonuses to pay for the nomination of this Wjw Another Narrisiistic Keeping Energy Repulisive!
The guy whose performance can measured in lost value for the company (see current stock price) and the cutting of the right (R2) people thru layoffs!
They paid all of your bonus to get him on the list! Hahahahahaha
I wonder how much he (SWN) paid to get put on this list.
I thought an entrepreneur was supposed to take personal financial risk? Doesn't make sense that this has anything to do with Bill's job at SWN. Maybe he's investing his SWN millions into something we don't about?

King Bill has no shame. Putting out a news release on this is the height of arrogance. In case there was any doubt now you know our leader.
HEY!!! Board wake up. Head is down in the feeding trough of Board fees.
Hey y’all! I’m in Vegas this weekend and I just placed a bet that our stock will hit $2.99/share before it hits $4.00 again! Safe bet, right!
Silly Willy Billy got the award for creating innovative ways of laying off employees.
