Not sure if y’all caught the article in “The CEO Magazine”, February issue, page 58, that had Way ranked at the bottom for CEO’s in our space. Interesting. Several key performance metrics are used including shareholder return, employee satisfaction, use of hot business school words, and the like. I was surprised of his low ranking to be honest. Check it out.

This is one hundred percent accurate. I know how that went down..... I must say this company has deep rooted issues. It comes from the top.
The falling out between the former SVP of Admin and HR had far more to do with the CEO's growing disenchantment with anyone he senses may be the slightest bit disloyal or opposes his orders. She clearly was an order follower up until the point she had enough money not to care about being subservient. The CEO has to be the most insecure man on the planet as he doesn't care about anyone or anything other than whatever thought is in his tiny brain at the moment. I am sorry for the people who suffer through his temper tantrums, wild and unpredictable emotional explosions, fake sincerity and total disregard for anyone's opinion other than his own. You have no security, no respect and no future at SWN.
Sorry. Reading my post from last night. Meant 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 layoffs. Gee Bill is good at being consistent about layoffs! Says everyone laid off since 2015!!
Pretentious like when they do the layoffs. Seen it every year since 2025 amongst my peers. Makes me sick. I am devastated to layoff my team.
So what’s up with all the directors and managers going in their offices and shutting the door all day, like us commoners have the “plague”. I guess they’re “privileged” and have a better chance of not contracting Covid and we’re lucky if we don’t get it. Lucky for them I guess.
Your statement about fake news is fake news. These two were thick as thieves and planned every aspect of every layoff. There are even more layoffs to come that were planned by these two. They even attended layoff planning training courses. SWNs best days are behind them and were long ago. It’s now just about cashing a paycheck for me. I’m sorry. I’m just so numb about this place and the fact I have no future. Maybe it’s survivors guilt. Yes, it was me not flushing to potty. So what!
Fake news. We all know that the former Sr VP of HR and Admin was the architect behind every layoff since 2015. Bill’s leadership did not need to have layoffs as part of the business strategy. Fake news about the “former”!!
Can we pluh llllleeeeeeaaaassseee get a mandatory class on office etiquette? Especially around restroom manners!! No leaving brown trout swimming freely, no leaving 1/4 inch of toilet paper on the seat, and especially for the ladies don’t stand in or near the door way as one is doing a catch a d release of the brown trout. The noises from our restroom out to the men especially if you have walked by on the fifth floor.
Thank you for helping on this request new Sr VP of HR!!
A smokescreen of an excuse was given as to her departure. What's sad is they expect the employees to believe their outright lie as to why she left.
Me and my girlfriends know what happened to the Sr. VP of HR and Admin.
SWN has some serious problems when it comes to integrity and honesty.
Ladies you are not alone. I think the brown trout had spawned and made a home in the men’s 5th floor loo to
I noticed signs in the parking garage that say "Wrong Way". I believe this may be a message regarding a certain """leader"""
Speaking of a mystery, the great washroom caper of 2021. Not sure of another way to broadcast this urgent message, but for the last five days, I’ve walked into the loo only to find a present the size of a full grown brown trout which hasn’t been sent free to swim the toward the spring wood village POTW. I’m a lady by the way. Please do your duty and flush your ish. Thank you.
Omg. I just found out how much Jay Weigh pays for a haircut. It’s insane. More than I make in a week. This is a mystery. He does have some extra cash cause he doesn’t live in Tanglewood with his peers. He chose to live on that dump of a lake up north.
Still a mystery
I miss my days of a coffee with her over in a quiet corner of the Market. Especially on cold, rainy days. I would confide in her my deepest darkest secrets and she was just there to listen. So nice.
So what is the scoop on this ? I'll let the poetic person who posted the rhymes below elaborate on this......
I am an employee still and I just thought it was strange how she left quietly and was taken off the website suddenly and no one said a word. She worked with him at other companies prior to SWN and she worked here since 2009. Very strange.
For the person who “knows” can you answer the last post?
Was she preggers??
I could say, but then I thought about it, and I won’t say. Would you say that’s the right decision? Who knows as they say. I really do know the scoop about this. We will be having a meeting about this at the Market tomorrow morning at 9. Grab a coffee and join!
She was a close friend to the CEO.....
Does anyone know what happened to the Sr. VP of HR and Administration ? She left quietly a few months ago. Anyone know ?
I am a brilliant CEO said no one ever

Are more layoffs going to happen? My wife is pregnant with our fourth child. We are blessed and more so working at Southwestern.
Today seems like a Good Friday to have some layoffs! Amirite? #millenialsarethefuture
Well that’s not saying much. Bezos and Zuck are t–ds just like our guy.
I think Way is the best ever CEO. Better than Bezos or Zuck. Oh yeah said no one ever!
Just saw an HR manager walk out of the fifth floor men’s restroom with what I taped up in the stalls. I hit the ground laughing having witnessed this.
Sorry. That was me. Made a handful copies and gonna tape up copies in all the stalls on 5. A little potty humor goes along way (way get it funny)
I can’t seem to find the article in reference. Any help is appreciated. Is this only a hard copy? Guessing no print copies in the office, or if so, page 58 is ripped out?
We are in Stranger Things - Upside Down. Who saw that episode. Special guest WJW
