People laid off from land should contact brokers on the SWN approved vendors’ list for work.
I’ve noticed that many land brokers SWN used received multiple huge loans from the Federal Government PPP.
Western Land Services received nearly 5 million in the last year: 2.67 million in a loan dated 4/12/2020 and 2 million more on 2/17/2021. Western hit the gravy train hard and are eager to receive handouts.
All the brokers illegally classify their employees as independent contractors so they don’t have to pay the employer’s portion of OASDI so you will be working for yourself.
Western, like TS Dudley and Purple land management, pays its employees almost nothing so they have the least qualified people in the business but at least it will be a paycheck.
Good luck.

Hearing land may be all contractors so a mini land layoff????
That’s right. I was able to work for one of our land brokers (actually before I got laid off from Southwest). Worked out well for me and stuff. Actually making more coin and a lot less stress. Land guys rule!
