We gonna need more space
The amount of skeletons we are moving with is too much for the old and too cheap to quit the lease tiny quarters. Wait! That will be for the new owners to bear. Sails a Way buckaroos!
Vice Presidents
Can we hire some more vice presidents? The more vice presidents we hire, the more Expand has to pay the worker bees to put up with the extra BS. Then we can get a raise! In reality, we challenge the vice presidents to justify their salaries and... — read more
Planning Chaos
How is it that the largest US nat gas company missed the boat on the ai/data center bo-m? Sounds like there’s lots of high level people working to get something moving who don’t have a clue, go figure, all the while, their E&P operations are... — read more
The neverending cesspool
Being hated by id--ts is the price you pay for not being one of them. I am talking about the professional button pushers, fakers, day traders, boot lickers, stall dwellers, adulterers, gossipers and the lovely rotten rest. Only to get fresh batch of... — read more
Big Spenders
Are some execs just getting a slap on the wrist for abusing their expense, per diem, and allowance accounts? I saw hints of it, but I can't tell for sure. That's the tricky culture in action.
Spring's stench of failure is coming
Looking at this sorry soap opera called Expand one wonders. Why filling the spaces left by a bunch of incompetent losers that got nothing to show for after 2 years of walking, meeting and sipping like mindless drones? Why not buying a tent and... — read more
Who Is Smarter? Our Execs or A Pile Of Rocks

We have no kings, just a ton of chief Indians. But that is OK for you!
How the company plans to address its mounting liabilities remains unclear. At this point, only a dramatic shift in strategy (or perhaps a moment of radical clarity fueled by either opi--ds or OK homegrown ayahuasca ) seems capable of turning things... — read more
Did you seen the news?
Wowzer. Cant believe they just dropped this in that meeting. For those who are not aware of what’s happening, all the details are spelled here ….See more
Why are the drilling guys so little minded and gossipy?
You would think these are the rough guys of the industry, but man, the view gals look like scholars.
Is there currently an issue related to ageism that requires attention?
The recent influx of new hires in Spring, many of whom are early-career professionals, has required significant onboarding support—including mentorship, recognition, plus dedicated workspace and perks—to ensure productivity. In contrast, previous... — read more
Thoughts on this
Howdy all. What are your thoughts on this press release. https://www.
Reality Check
Can’t imagine that this whole company won’t be in TX in 3-5 years. Stop backfilling OKC jobs in OKC and let normal attrition handle 15% of the lift while targeting back office jobs for rolling relocation (IT, HR, Accounting, Legal). Geologists and... — read more

Announcement
Anyone surprised? Me neither. I'm not moving to Houston even if they offer it, which I'm sure they won't for most of us.
lol
Take a look, the new corporate leadership and SWN personnel have added way more costs and increased anxiety across the organization, own up to a wrong doing for the long term and put these people in their place
The List
Folks. As a reminder, please use the secure print feature we all are supposed to use for confidential document printing. I stumbled upon “the list” which is the list of everyone who will be laid off in the coming weeks. For your convenience I have... — read more
Core values are a joke.
I laughed when I read the company's core values. The word hypocrisy immediately came into my mind. Changing your name doesn't dismiss all of your wrongs of the past. And your existing "leadership" was never held accountable for sinful deeds.
Article on who is laying off in 2026
This just dropped and I have gifted this article (behind a paywall) to you. It’s on which E and P companies are expected to have layoffs in 2026 based on current domestic and international environment. Great read cause a certain OKC based company... — read more

Difference between Boeing and Expand?
Number of people dying from bad management decisions. Both companies have deaths associated with managers ignoring senior technical personnel and violating company and industry safety standards. VP of drilling never drilled a well. VP of completions... — read more
Friday - business as usual
Reminder for all employees working on layoff planning. Business as usual the day after Christmas. Please get a good nights sleep and tell your families and visitors you’ll see them next year. And stuff.

The ghost of past SWN wrongdoings is putting jobs in danger

Hey all. Be aware that I have on good on great authority that a small round of layoffs for HQ employees is planned. Gather your personal things discreetly of course before the week ends. Best wishes colleagues.
It’s Saturday Night So
I seent a former C suite employee, who ran another E&P company into the ground and got laid off, at a Loves Truck Stop. Had that cheesy grin and walked a little light in the loaders so yup just another Saturday night for him.
Layoffs not happening!
Nobody's going to tell a group of grumpy old demagogues what to do, especially when their stock buyback tricks are working better than a speedcam during rush hour!
Ssshhh Layoffs in October
It has long been known that management wants to trim staff to boost their 2025 bonuses. Expect layoffs in October so they can enjoy their well earned bonuses Hearing it is 10-15% total in line with other E and P company layoffs.
