Thread regarding Chesapeake Energy Corp. layoffs

When will the money run out?

I will be very concerned if we cash flow negative but building up a cash reserve. For years we have been holding on to only $5M in cash (I think we spend that everyday on toilet paper in OKC). If we have $200M+ that's trouble, no reason to pay interest on debt you could have paid down with cash.

It takes allot of cash to get through bankruptcy. Lots of lawyers to pay and you need at least a skeleton crew to keep the oil flowing. If there is no $ coming in, bankruptcy isn't going to help.

It would be awesome to be bought out by someone with cash but it seems unlikely. Maybe an international company like Sinopec but no American company would want us. They wouldn't want to deal with shutting down campus and the OK assets. Why not wait for CHK to fall apart and buy the pieces you want in a salvage sale. We have to much liability to be of any interest.

Will we try to restructure debt or will DL run us right into the ground full speed and his buddies can pick up the pieces. After all there might be another multi million dollar no show position if they pick up some of our assets.

The OP is clearly not a CHK employee based on the toilet paper comment. The stuff we use now is worse than gas station TP. It’s a wonder the TRIR isn’t impacted by it.

Did you read the post from one of your coworkers yesterday about a surprise. Could be they meant a profit instead of a loss.

Since you work at Chesapeake Energy, what's your feeling with regards to earnings on Tuesday. The analysts are saying anywhere from $ .03 to $ .09 loss. You must have a pretty good guess. Also, what is the feeling in the office about the Wildhorse acquisition ? One more question,does Lawler keep the employees informed with say a weekly news memo ?
