No Good Jobs Available
I wish I had left a year or so ago when our competitors were desperate for top talent like me and throwing high pay and sign-on bonuses at candidates. Now we're back to where were before: few good open positions, no responses after interviews, and... — read more
Your help is needed
Is SWN the worst run major E and P company in modern era. Hey Enron ain’t got nothing on us. Just think of all the failed New Ventures, useless but costly reorganizations, and horrible decisions made in the last ten years or so. Name one company... — read more

WFH Approved!!
This is a great news. I was just informed of a permanent WFH situation, but without a paycheck going forward. Anyone else get a notification this morning?
Quiet quitting
So who’s with me? I’m going to be quiet quitting now. I’m so tired of getting only minimal raises and working more than the bare minimum, only to make the bosses richer. I need to be compensated for any time more than 40 hours per week. We deserve... — read more

Best perk at Southwest …WFH. Some days, actually most days… I wake up and I leave my mouse moving and I do nothing all day. I used to work hard but I realized that not only was there no reward but actually observed and experienced first hand that it... — read more
Do YOU still care About YOUR job?
The managers and above here are very talented at destroying any enthusiasm an employee has for their job. I loved my job until I came here. Perhaps the managers directors and c suite are the ones who should ask themselves how much people here really... — read more

WSIUB
I seent these acronym posted several places in our campus. Does anyone know what this means? Curious. Obviously the Code 8222 was a bust, mostly. Now I’m curious. Must mean something like “why should I ….” Can anyone crack the code? TIA!
Most recent quarterly transcript
Read it Can anyone tell from recent transcript how we are doing for the long haul? Success? Layoffs? Growth? Decline? Say one say all
Who else is tired of the corporate drama?
I stopped expecting any improvement here. Complaining will get me nowhere, so I'm mostly focused on looking for a new job and I hope I'll find it before they lay me off. The problem is that I have been looking for better options for a very long time... — read more
Are layoffs this Tuesday being postponed
Good morning. Can any one confirm layoffs may be postponed that are for this Tuesday? Gut feels says YES.
Thoughts and prayers next few weeks
Losing sleep tonight. Not sure why. I know in the next few weeks lives are going to be changed as new opportunities open with layoffs. Going to drop a prayer card at church tomorrow for those whose livelihoods will change.
Code Is 8222
Saw this in an email. Code name 8222 so this is next layoff date 8/2/22.
Special BOD meeting after July 4
In office early today. Overheard some C suite guys talk with amusement about a special BOD meeting. Seems odd. Is change underfoot.
No layoffs?
Weren't there supposed to be layoffs today? Another rumor gone wrong? Or has something happened that I somehow missed (which I seriously doubt)?
This is the week. I promise.
Hope everyone has enjoyed their summers so far. This week will change everything. Get ready. Buckle up. The fun is just about to start.
RSG will equal LAYOFFS
Howdy all. RSG will equal layoffs by end of year. To that I say as a member of the WV production team I contribute RSG every day around 7AM. Usually purge a big ol breakfast made from scratch by wife or when my GF is not. Have been told that my RSG... — read more
WFH POLICY update this week!
Happy Monday (not so) Funday! Well, here’s the deal, folks. In this time of pandemic uncertainty, we’re moving several folks to “WFH” status, actually with the W part removed. This really just means “from home” and stuff. The work part won’t be... — read more
When SWN reaches $10
Thanks to Mr Way, he’s finally got our stock going in the right direction. I’ll be able to retire soon. Can’t wait.
Promotions/Raises
With inflation through the roof and our industry clearly in the scope of the White House, what is the long term specter on significant raises around here before 4th of July? I, for one, only received 6% raise this year, which is half of the inflation... — read more
Holy Smokes We Got Us A Great Site Here

Light in the loafers
So was at an industry engineering conference this week. I’m fairly new to Southwest so thought I could get some insight into our company from a peers perspective. Someone said rather openly that our CEO was quote “light in the loafers”. What does... — read more
Total incompetence
Management is using every opportunity to show employees how little they respect us and how much they don't care about us and they're shocked when productivity goes down. It makes me laugh how out of touch and incompetent everybody at every management... — read more
SWN and Twitter
Rumor has it that Musk is inspired by all of Ways layoffs (7 in the last 7 years) and he will be doing the same model for Twitter once he owns it. Seems logical, right? Way and Musk are two peas in a pod!
2 weeks out
Just heard from a legit source we are 2 weeks out from layoffs. It is a really big deal given the environment. Start paying attention to those around you. Be careful who you share this news with cause if you reference this board you will likely be... — read more

Natural Gas Forward
Got a copy of our SWN Natural Gas Forward and yes it is a little rough but works as TP. How many jobs could have been saved and not laid off cause of this? Still baby drill!!
Do NOT LOL Layoffs in 2Q22
Standing in elevator lobby just now. In earshot of handful of SVP. They were talking cryptic but one was LOL about having more empty office space. Read LAYOFFS!!!!
He caused it to rise
Keep it clean folks. Our senior leader caused our stock to rise. Yup he did said no one ever. The only thing that has risen is our total layoff number and increased egg frittata costs.
Not sure why everyone is concerned about layoffs…
The attrition rate since the start of 2022 speaks for itself.
RIF and Furlough
Both are happening now
All Points Bulletin! This is the week!

Southwest mistreats it most important resource
Employees have always been the backbone of this company but it feels like the leadership has conveniently decided to ignore that. They've created such an awful atmosphere that the most talented people who've been here for a decade or more are... — read more
