The Revenue Accounting Director has absolutely no experience in Revenue. He spends most his time su-king up to GL and meeting in Creekside. This guy wouldn’t last a day at any other company in Revenue accounting. Everyone in Revenue and Accounting... — read more
Welcome interns!
Welcome to Chesapeake. You will learn so many valuable things this summer. Like how to "work from home" (aka play golf but answer an email every hour or so). And you will see how professionals do a mass layoff. Maybe a couple times while you are... — read more
Tisk Tisk
Looks like I won’t have the option to come to OKC, but instead will be in Houston. Word around the coffee pot is the banks intent is to make Houston the main office and eventually close down and sell the OKC campus. In the long run this will be good... — read more
Sinking Ship
It’s easier to find a job while you have a job. This ship is going down (with or without SWN merger) and everyone will be affected at that point which will saturate the field. Would’ve been a great place for an OIL & gas company!
Many of you won't have a job by Tuesday
Your sh-t is being boxed up as we speak.
Nick, you need to pop a blue chew!
The stock is going limp and you need to er--t it back up above the $90 mark. Pop a blew chew and keep our stock standing tall.
About 10%
80 people let go today...
This has nothing to do w/ Eagle Ford
These layoffs have nothing to do w/ the divestiture of Eagle Ford assets and everything to do with the upcoming merger with SWN. The company is simply using this opportunity to avoid the larger severance packages they will be required to give out... — read more
Not sure what we expect
The HR department, for the most part, is inexperienced, especially leadership. They don’t know how to properly conduct a layoff that is professional and respectful. Good luck everyone. I really mean that.
6-21 LAYOFFS
So it begins... Sit and wait for phone call.. May the odds ever be in your favor..
Real question
Has this company always been so negative and toxic? That’s all that is on these postings. A select few VPs are consistently called out and apparently there is a history with some people that are no longer around. Just curious what I have got myself... — read more
Congrats Nick
You got the stock up past the $90 twice in the last month. I see your still struggling to keep it up in more ways that once though!
Leadership changes
Announced yesterday - one Chk senior leader doesn't survive the merger. Now we will hear about vp level. Who survives and who doesn't?
Happy 4/20 Peakers
Started the celebration early. Here’s to the weekend.
CHK equals a clown car
Not the title you are thinking but rather all you clowns with a sense of entitlement. The purchase of SWN is next level genius and will vault our stock to mid $100s by year end. Best part we will see CHK > SWN layoffs to get rid of the entitlement... — read more
Will CHK survive 2024?
Are you confident in corporate leadership? Haynesville leadership? Marcellus leadership? A rudderless ship.
What a week already
This week has been a true delight. We all got some cool shades to observe the sun & moon interaction and enjoy some late afternoon snacks and downtime. Nothing better than coming to work and collaborating over breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee... — read more
Busted!!!
The money hounds are after you Nick the nDick. Move it , twist it, shake it and pull it but real non biased auditors will Bop-it.
Thanks Nick
Right at a year ago Nick made a public statement telling everyone how great CHK was and how our stock was poised to be above $100 a share. Here we are a year later and we continue to struggle to hurdle the $90 mark. Great advice Nick! Glad we... — read more
Who could have predicted?
I am in absolute awe as I hear the stories of 40’ Christmas trees being hauled in from the east coast, $1M contracts to install Christmas lights, F5 rated data center, thirsty Thursdays at the fountain, four restaurants and multiple Starbucks, giving... — read more
Schwenn is here to win
As we get to start to see inside of this glass house, there is no mystery of why this place is in shambles. You all keep acting and spending like you are financially stable, but this place is one bad deal away from another forced RIF. I see now why... — read more
Are we really stuck with those id--ts post merger
Seriously are we gonna get stuck with a bunch of id--ts or SWNidoits when we already have way to many here in OKC. Yes there is such a thing called CHKidiots. Asking for all the hardworking guys at the well site.
Memory lane
Who remembers the mantra of How goes STX, so goes the Company”? Well, there is one statement where they spoke the truth. Spreading positive vibes one day at a time.
Whose house is it?
Is it the house of CHK (losers) or house of SWN (winners and e and p geniuses). Ssshhh. Let ya in on a secret it’s actually neither. It’s a house of FAILURES so says the street and then o and g industry.
What a joke
The Chesapeake name has been a joke for sooo long. Continuous layoffs, encouraging their own employees to purchase their stock knowing they were going to file bankruptcy, unethical practices of putting people in roles simply because of their gender... — read more
What is the new name of the company?
I heard it was Enron II. If this is true, I really think this name fits the company's values ( or lack there of) and business plan going forward. Congrats on the new name that the shareholders that lost millions will appreciate.
Major Announcement says a bird on a wire
To placate all the whiners in OKC and Houston. Management is gonna do mass layoffs. Keep the best of the best and relocate to Dallas to start anew. So says a bird on a wire
I can’t wait to discard this brand
The CHK brand has been burdened with dishonesty, shady business tactics, toxic leadership, and unethical practices for far too long. Hopefully this new brand will bring about a positive change and solidify this once we close the OKC campus and move... — read more
More Layoffs in OKC - You've been warned SWN people!!!
Layoffs randomly in OKC yesterday. Different teams around the company affected in varying amounts. Don't have exact head counts. Management did NOT send any notice to teams that were not affected so as to not cause a panic. EXPECT MORE LAYOFFS... — read more
We got outplayed
Was reading SWN layoff board. Someone posted that Bill W is a genius and next level CEO. Our board got out played by SWN. Translation is layoffs are gonna be plenty.
Any interest in unionizing?
With use merging together, what are the thoughts about petitioning for a union vote? There are many that have never worked for a union and have only heard what they want you to hear. You believe HR is only there to protect the company? Unionize! You... — read more
Lucky SWN’ers
How luck is it that those at swn get great packages and all we well get is pink slips within 12 months?

Continuing to shrink
The recent layoffs should be an indication that we are not about to acquire anything. There were several let go last week along with a few more this week. This place has completely lost its luster and is just a place to draw a check at this point. — read more
401K Match / Profit Sharing
Anyone notice how leadership has driven right by this. So they acknowledged that they took it too far going from a 15 to 6 percent 401K match and developed the profit sharing program which has paid out nothing in the past two quarters, what a joke... — read more
What is your culture like
Hi all. I am an employee of a company likely to be bought by you. I read through some posts on this board and seems like a bunch of disgruntled employees or jokesters. When we are bought should I go to your company? I would do so only if there is a... — read more
Check this out. Can this be true
Latest I have heard is we will see layoffs more so than SWN given their talent is far superior to ours. Everyone one of their teams from drilling, land, geology and heck even HSE is like an “all star” team. This being the case working for a bunch of... — read more
SWN acquisition
