Chk's home website still is listing like 256 job openings....what a clown show. Agree with the below, why are they still open for hiring when massive layoffs going on. Surprised the layoff numbers haven't made it into the press yet but maybe since... — read more 

Basically look at how Anadarko is run, people and size wise and expect very much the same structure and benefits once things are done. If you want better go work offshore, internationally, or in North Dakota or Canada

Hearing talk of 401k match shifting to cash vs stock to further support the stock price, no confirmation on this. Also have heard nothing of match % switching but it will likely go to industry average for those left behind. I've heard nothing on... — read more 

What about the Thunder tickets

Obviously we have a case where mom wasn't talking to dad, since HR was hiring people all through this year, the same people now getting laid off

For all those that drank the CHK kool aid, it's going to be a hard transition.

Pure crazy talk on the 401k etc. CHK is not going to have the worst match in the industry. 12% maybe, but not 3%. That's just fear mongering. Also, bet stock continues at basically the same rate. People will get laid off, but shit is not going that... — read more 

Everything is speculation. No one knows exactly whats going to happen. I'm sure most people will walk with some good packages.

Biggest difference I see at chk vs former employers is notice given for the layoffs

I see a couple of things that might be partially correct. The rest is rubbish.

Where did you get your info? Admin Services & HRIS?

Hearing health and wellness program to be cut entirely along with annual incentives, campus gym to be sold off and run by private company and small membership fee increase, all restaurant employees will be shifted to 1099 vs w-2 employees when... — read more 

There have been a few people let go in IT and HRIS over the past couple of months. No mass layoffs yet.

Did the IT department get their cuts Friday?

All my friends in the company in drilling, finance, asset management, and engineering have been interviewing with several of the super majors and smallers as well. The oilfield overall is doing well right now and chesapeake is more the exception than... — read more 

It is time to trim the fat at the top. The salaries, bonuses, and stock awards are obscene. There are currently 75+ VP's. Land and A&D are top heavy and have long received preferential treatment and as a result they have an inflated sense of... — read more 

True, they didn't close the garden, but they did say that this would be it's last year. They just haven't decided on a date to lock the gates yet.

Go Mountaineers!

Rumors has it the downtown arena is going to be called after Icahn.

BOOMER!

last year archie said he wanted to realign the staffing levels with our market cap. the examples he gave (4500 DVN employees to roughly double our market cap) would require about 4/5 of the company to go. anybody think he meant what he said and this... — read more 

This sight is only useful if everything sticks to the facts and stops the sarcastic remarks

There is so much bad info on here. No one was let go Friday. No benefits where taken away (employee garden).

Takes a real man to fire some tomatoes.

It's official. The Employee Garden is gonzo.

Drilling side is laying off, that's why I'm on here. Stacking rigs and putting hard workers out of busy so the higher management can keep getting their $40k+ bonuses.

The employees have had more than enough warning. They've have known this was coming for more than a year. If not...they've had their head in a hole

Final week, eh. Think i will take in a wine tasting...

Anyone know what the terms of termination are for the employees I.e, two weeks of pay or any severance...I doubt there will be as management has known this was coming but failed to give their employees a heads up well in advance. Most good... — read more 

You all ready for next week? It's coming. Enjoy your final weekend as chesapeakers.

Ohio. Your lucky to me here. Go back to your Obama state. Energy is the best thing to happen to your state. We wont miss you!

DEAL our days aren't numbered. DL is about to drop the hammer (DTH) on us all. It's going to be big. #TWSS #IKTR

Anyone know if the drilling department layoffs are the engineers, techs, consultants (even more), or the foreman? I've heard varying things but nothing confirmed..appreciate a heads up if anyone has one

Everything will be okay. Peyton Manning got laid off from the Colts but now he's on the Broncos. It worked for him and it will work for us too!

Please stop being childish there are real people who have real jobs and families trying to make a living.
