"You know whats funny? Some of these ppl here are still talking bonuses...Really?? You don't get it? This company is on the verge of #Bankruptcy and you are on the verge of getting laid off but you still talking bonuses? Shows me the arrogant culture of OIL AND GAS."
Sounds like the original poster is bitter because he got turned down for the janitor job for lack of qualifications. Go ahead and keep trolling the layoff board, just remember that our severance packages will be worth more than you make in a year (maybe two).
You all ARE getting them ! Cray Cray. Geology has already heard this from upper.
I've already seen my bonus number with my raise %. So at least one field office is getting them.
That's right I would be happy to just have my job back without a bonus.
I would just be happy to have my job back. I was laid off in the fall out East and would gladly take a salary without a bonus.
I work over at a diffent company here in okc. I can understand how you feel there are people here that are bitching about the idea that we are not getting raises this year or that there is a hiring freeze or that there are no promotions or that the bonuses are not 100% of target. These are primarily younger than 40 and have no concept that in this price challenged market there are tens of thousands of oil industry workers who would gladly trade places with them just to keep their job. I have been listening to them everyday for months and it is my sincerest hope that if the time comes to bleed employees these people and their poison attitudes are the first to go. Most of these people are just scared that they are next, but it also shows who they are at their core. The quality of your person will always shine through in hard times. If you have time to post here on the company network during work hours and have detrimental things to say expect to be walked out the door. Your security team knows who you are and they will hand the list to hr. At my company we call these people sheep. They are walking right into the slaughter house like volunteers. Good luck Chk we are rooting for you and hope you survive.
Despite a commodity price decline, the achievement of employees this year have been pretty remarkable, especially considering where the company was before Doug took the reigns. Part of company policy is performance incentives, or "bonuses" as we call them based on setting and meeting goals. This isn't a foreign concept. This year has been extremely stressful for many, and many have put forth lots of hard work to make CHK competitive and sustainable for the long term. Bonuses won't be as much as last year, but bonuses will still be paid. Yes, there are flippant young pricks that work in many departments of the company. As a whole, I don't feel like the "average" CHK employee is a flippant young prick. There are many very bright and hard working people at this company. HillCorp paid there employees a $100k bonus this year. If CHK say, paid an average bonus of $10k this year, it isn't even a blip on the radar compared to how much we have to spend to operate the company.
See ya laters chker's
Yeah you'll get your bonus alright. The door hitting you in the ass as you head out the door unemployed.
Second best Tweet. Right below mine.
I know right? The best part is we will be getting bonuses.
