Hearing a lot of noise on these post about "is this it" which is humorous with some additional knowledge. The Warn Act is a federal requirement by the DOL and SWN clearly came up with a layoff scheme to avoid the term "mass layoff". Expect phases of... — read more
Perspective
CHK : $5.32 SWN: $5.29 If this is how I’m graded on my job performance this equals and F - -!
Ethics - Posts Disappear
Makes you wonder what is going on when SWN/Way gets posts pointing to ethical issues deleted AND removes items that have been reported into the Ethics hotline. I had an issue and reported to the ethics site confidentially. After a few days, the case... — read more
How to trim the remaining fat
Posted in another thread, but I think this is by far the best description of how to trim the remaining fat without actually hurting the company: Agreed about middle management. But let's make it simple. Start w the VPs. Their salaries are anchors to... — read more
Houston building and its future
I am not at swn anymore and it’s been awhile. Is swn using both buildings / towers still especially after recent layoffs? I heard some floors were sort of shut down. Is cafeteria still in use? Gym? Is the formula still on the building and the Vplus... — read more
Does this mean the rest of us are safe?
Now that the latest round of layoffs is done, does this mean those of us who are still employed can relax for a while? I haven't seen any rumors that extended past this week, so I am starting to get a bit hopeful about it. It would be nice to not... — read more
Town hall
I noticed in the town hall meeting there weren’t any office people or supervisors in DGC let go. This is including the ones that have a field job title but do only office work. Just proof that being in the Damascus office is safer than actually... — read more
People picked
Does anyone know how they ended up picking who was doing to be the lucky 200? Never had a bad evaluation and still got the ax.
How many fired in the North?
There is a lot of fat that needs trimmed for those working in WV and PA.
SWN Managers and HR Leadership
First time poster The SWN managers are way too talented to let go of. Besides, who’s going to make out in the stairwells if they get cut? Makes you really question the judgement of the higher ups that put those managers in place. Can the stairwells... — read more
So sorry for those left behind.
Im so sorry for those left behind. The work will be grueling. The atmosphere toxic like always. Long hours for sure. And say good bye to those 9/80s. Im sure the managers that are left behind will pull their weight. LOL. Its going to be a long hard... — read more
There is hope
Sorry for all of those who lost their job today. I was laid off by SWN during the massive layoff in January 2016. The good thing is E&P companies are hiring now. The market has improved drastically since 2016. I have a permanent job now but I still... — read more
Duo of Disaster
Way and mcCauley, the duo of disaster for SWN have devistated the company. Their total lack of leadership and ability has taken SWN stock from > $40.00 per share to <$6.00 per share and cost many good dedicated employees their jobs. The board of... — read more
All is not lost!
As one of those who was cut by SWN in 2016 I can definitely tell those today that you will be okay. But nonetheless it hurts. When you give your all to a company and toss you aside, it feels like a big betrayal especially when you look back at a lot... — read more
Why were no Team Leads, Mrgs, VPs Let Go?
At corporate in my department no team lead, managers and VPs were let go, NOT FAIR. They dump loads of work on us and gossip in their offices when they aren't in meetings, still too many highly paid chiefs running around giving orders.
SWN layoff underway
85 people in Arkansas and 200 nationwide are getting the axe today
More info on layoffs from Seeking Alpha
Somebody already posted the summary in one of the other threads, but here is the link to the full article: Southwestern Energy staff reduction to affect ~200 employees... — read more
8-K Filing - there isn't one
The last time there was a large layoff, SWN filed an 8-K notifying the market of the layoff before open. If layoffs are happening today, cuts won't be as deep as 1/21/16. Whatever threshold is required to file with the SEC hasn't been met... — read more
How bad is it going to be today?
Do we have any indication on how many are expected to be laid off today throughout the entire company?
Early reports from today’s layoffs
Someone posted 200 laid off. In office early as usual In Houston. Errie quiet awkward. Any details from NE? FS? Will report Spring when more info available
Not sure why I even got hired
I was a contractor who was let go this past Friday. While I hold no animus (I actually enjoyed my time at SWN very much), it is obvious that SWN is very poorly managed. My position did not exist before I was hired in January. Why would a company... — read more
All signs pointing to Wednesday!
Interns, externs, lots of suspicious activity happening on Wednesday! The day is finally within arm’s reach. Thank god!
Who else is dreading this week?
Long gone are the days when I enjoyed working at Southwestern. Now if I get a day or week that I'm not dreading going into work, it's a win for me. It's really sad how much things have changed for the worse. I can't afford to lose my job right now... — read more
Already changing the building signs ???
Wow - not wasted no anytime !! Crane blocking the feeder n front of the SWN bldg today — changing the name already ??
How is it done?
Just wondering, since I'm rather new here. How are layoffs done at Southwestern? Is it a phone call? Are you called in for a meeting? How much time are you given after being notified to collect your stuff (if you are given any time at all?) I'd... — read more
Layoff/Shaveoff
Let’s start a contest. In the spirit of No Shave November, let’s have a no shave off until the layoff. This includes you ladies with your legs or pits.
3 days till the “event”
I have it on good authority that layoffs are happening this Thursday. It’ll be around 40%
PSA - Interns: Stay away from Way!
You’re welcome.
How many are looking?
Just wondering, considering Southwestern has been going downhill for a while with no chance of righting the course with current management, how many of you are already looking for a new job? I just started looking, but it occurred to me that I can't... — read more
No more layoffs?
We keep seeing these dates thrown around as possible layoffs dates, but every one of them comes and goes with no layoffs in sight. The latest is June 21, but now I'm pretty sure that one will also turn out to be bust (not complaining about that!)... — read more
No Layoffs Today, but
Way still lost money for us all. Whatever decisions he made today (which tea to drink, flowers to demand be replaced or employee to talk down to), it ultimately will cost us. He can’t lead a parade of ants while dripping with honey. Get Way out and... — read more
Is anything happening today at Southwestern?
June 7 was floated as a possible layoffs date several times, so I'm wondering if anything is happening anywhere in the company. Everything is quiet in my neck of the woods, but that doesn't mean that the situation isn't going to change later on. Any... — read more
Conway numbers?
How many people are left in Conway/Damascus?
Executives = huge pay and bonuses
Everyone else = Tough Luck
It Will Never Happen Again (Except This Week)
I thought SWN would be my forever company. That started to change in 2016 (see thread title is from our leader). I just had a quick meeting with my boss and he said and I quote “be ready this week. Specifics will be given to me on Wednesday”. Don’t... — read more
