The Forbes article is a little bit of a joke. 500 out of 4000? That letter doesn't say that. The letter gives the reasons why you are being paid for 60 days and not officially out of work before the 60 days are up in order to comply with the Warn... — read more

@10:04, definately agree, let's get back to the layoff rumors folks...

I don't personally know Shannon, but if you're going to bash someone, have some balls and do it to their face so they can defend themselves. If you're hiding behind the anonymity so you won't face retribution, maybe you shouldn't be spewing your BS... — read more 

Who is kt?

I'm not going to defend Shannon, but if you're coming here to bash him knowing that this message board is trolled by journalists and you choose to hide behind anonymity, you're a coward. And if you think I'm being hypocritical, I'm not. I'm not... — read more

Yes, Shannon Reed barely warrants 2 keystrokes, but the word is misogynist. What's so sad is that he proclaims to be a Christian and is an active member of the Church of Christ despite the filth and ignorance that flows from his mouth.

Knowing the date is the best thing that can happen. We all know to do as much networking as possible and as little for CHK as we can.

it will get UGLY!!! I know a guy in HR who hinted that the numbers will be much bigger than anyone thinks

Who is KT? He's come up a couple of times in this string, both in negative comments. Barnett drilling?

Expect to finish by November 1??? You've got to be shitting me. Another month and a half. Thanks for nothing!

Another worthless letter from Doug that clarifies little.
