It looks like CHK stock has doubled since Ichan bought in. I think once the final cuts have been made and things level out, the company gets sold and Carl makes hundreds of millions again. If gas prices go up, ol' Carl could make out even more. All... — read more 

So we have to sit around a wait for the axe to drop and see who is still standing, honestly it seems like, they are going to sell the company why else wouldn't they care about if the employees are fearful of the jobs?!

They should just offer walk away severance packages, with 3 months severance and stock vested or cash equivalent payout and take volunteers...get their numbers down real quick

Any lay offs today ? Any expected this week .

From CNBC: I am with CHK and I can tell you that most of our folks recognize that something needs to be done and that cuts are necessary. At the same time, the whole process (layoffs) was not managed properly from the communications side as... — read more

Severance anyone? Please post if you have any real data on the severance. We need to know

Appreciate the help from a recruiter. Those looking for other opportunities thank you

my wife places employees at Chesapeake so Chesapeake would probably not be happy if she also is recruiting them away. Recruiting is a business. Don't blame the recruiters if companies give people a reason to seek greener pastures

@7:19 talent has to go somewhere, and what incentive does it have to stay?

I like CHK and what the new CEO is trying to do. But, the leaving everyone in limbo is not transparent and my patience is wearing thin. If asked a few weeks ago, I would have said I was looking forward to the future here. Today, I just want to be... — read more 

Layoffs need to happen and hopefully soon. Too many people whose job seems to be simply receiving, and then forwarding emails. And yes, if they vest/buy back the stock many people would be happy to leave. This purgatory is just awful. Set your people... — read more

I call BS with the November timeframe. There's no way they want this morale and low productivity spread out through two quarters. No reason why it shouldn't be complete before next months earnings.

I heard the October/November timeframe as well. The company is moving to do this quickly but with the large number of affected people it will not be complete until the October/November time. confirmed with multiple sources

intheknow is clearly not in the know. Thanks for that BOLD protection. I think everyone at this point has figured out that this will be wrapped up in 2013. Heck, the CEO even used the words 'weeks'. And 90-120 days is somewhere in between 10/8-11/8... — read more
