Uncle Carl is meeting with Chesapeake BOD in a few weeks. Word on the street is that he wants an update on cost cut numbers. To get this done, the layoffs have to ramp up or DL will be squirming

it will probably end like Lord of the Flies I knew that there is a reason I had to read that It comes in handy for corporate clusterfs like this

Anyone got the call from AEP? Just wondering how many people have heard from them about job offers.

It's more like The Lord of the Flies.

ANON 5:57 exactly! wont get this opportunity again

So what are we now, in grade school and the teacher has left the room?

positive thing is that anything goes right now Nobody making decisions or watching what is going on I am doing what I want

still have not seen newbie boss...oh well...guess I just disappear a few hours next week to interview It makes no sense to burn vacation time if they are just going to lay me off. If they do not communicate with me I do not have to communicate with... — read more

Has CHK filed a FORM 8-K with the SEC yet?

Embracing Change class??? Are you kidding me. I can't get management to do sh1t lately. No approvals, zero communication. It seems like everyone is just standing around chatting and speculating. All day people in offices whispering. Hey... — read more 

Should I call the ethics hotline or contact my supervisor regarding the way they're handling layoffs? I think I'll get results either way. Wish me luck!

Lol 3:01

@2:53. Please don't trash this board even further with an actual ad. I am giving it until the end of the month. Hoping for a cut to fall my way, but I am not counting ont it. Regardless, the new culture sucks here and I am moving on to another place... — read more 

I know how demoralizing it feels to lose your job. My position was terminated and I lost a six figure income. After being unemployed for six months I looked for an alternate means of income. If you're interested in an executive income listen to this... — read more 

Thx all, Chkers are the best. What's the word on vesting?

From that supposed Warn paperwork I think it sounds like you get 60 days pay through regular payroll, you termination is on the 61st day, and from the rumors on here you get one month severance. That's 90 days, I'll take it!

There is simply no standard for severance. Period. You are looking for something that does not exist. The best any of us can do is wait to see if our number is called. When November 1st gets here, hopefully most of it will be over. Realistic... — read more 

Anyone have legit data on what rank and file severance? Please be decent and post Anon. This is killing me. I gotta know

Next big hit will be Land Title. Department head went out last week and he was the last holdover from the original CHK managers. That dept. was Aubrey's brainchild, and no other company does anything like it. DFresh is old-school, traditional O&G... — read more

I'll agree the PR on this is nuts. Problem is, the people who always handled this type of thing were nixed first. When Martha and Lisa exited, the whole thing crapped out. One more month. Hang in there folks.

I'm holding out for a severance and hoping to get one, love to stay but getting that much $$$ in one day is hard to beat, and then next day walk over to another job. I'm still loyal to my coworkers for what that's work. God bless you all. Paramount... — read more 

so long land title....

@ANON Perfectly said. I don't know if everyone else just doesn't see that, or if they just think it is funny screaming bloody murder on here.

boring...nothing going on @chk - I want a severance so bad I can taste it - has nothing to do with the current company or mgmt. It is just bottom line $$$, I can get paid now to go somewhere else where I have the ability to get greater compensation... — read more 

Actually upper management is acting according to their plan. Their plan, as I see it, is to cut the top, replace them, cut the next level, replace/promote, then give these new mgrs. time to re-evaluate and cherry pick who they want to be surrounded... — read more 

(yawn) The drum roll is becoming a bore

@4:49 - just take a look at dozens of company boards on this site - many companies went thru deep cuts - the point is that this stuff should be done swiftly, keep it quiet, come in on friday, you cut your 25%, everyone leaves, done deal. in ONE... — read more 

Hope they are aren't surprised their safety mishaps in the field have been going up latey. If they really cared about safety, you at least tell your semi truck drivers and maintenance people they are safe . No way we make our safety incident goals... — read more 

@4:49 the goal is to NOT let you know when how and why you will be dumped on. Here at CHK u are NOT an employee, u are a # that needs to be cut. Get over it U are getting paid and u should feel lucky

@4:49 I think a lot of the hand wringing you are seeing from current employees is the unknown. No one knows how deep cuts are going to be, no one knows if there will be a severance, no one knows when cuts are going to happen. The only thing we know... — read more 

walk out of your office - look left, look right - one of those people will no longer be with CHK as of Nov1

Wow. ~ 25% of OKC personnel.
