Aside from layoffs, no consideration is given to experience or education when promoting folks. People in certain positions are well overpaid given their expertise (or, often, lack of it) in the industry. Some promos are OK but many other promos are based on the "good ole boy" system. Way to go SWN execs, that's the way to lead us...

Does SWN have an inventory of employee skills?
Some people just suck at their jobs and/or have no real skill. As a result they get stuck with crap work and no promotions. Instead of being honest with themselves, they make up "the good ole boy" story to feel better. If its so bad, stop bitching and just quit. Only problem is every where else they go there will be another reason why they don't get promotions, and it won't be their fault either.
my thing is why dont you all say that? why do they keeping getting best place to work?? nobody tells the truth or how they feel
Totally agree with OP. They don't do the "right things" when it comes to promotions. Rather, managers promote based on other criteria like connections with upper management or even the "look" of someone....glad I left.
Layoffs today at SWN. No longer one of the best places to work in Houston.
