Thread regarding Chesapeake Energy Corp. layoffs

What a life to live

Imagine how depressing your life must be to no longer work for a company, yet consistently visit a forum hoping to gain a little more insight in to what is happening on a day to day basis inside a place you desperately miss. Move on with your life people. We are embarrassed for you when you still talk about this site at the bar, at dinner or when we see you around.

Some of you left 3 years ago now. It's borderline creepy that you are still so interested in what we are doing.

I promise you this; we aren't missing the self serving army of VPs, the obnoxious privately educated party planners (I think they called them Landmen), the actual party planners or the propaganda robots.

On a side note; what happened to the posts about AEP being the future, or that they will soon be buying the campus and firing us all or my personal favorite; we are going international over here at AEP!! Just be happy that you posted anonymously! It's almost like the majority poster is no longer around to toot their own horn.

b---s---. We come because MOST of us are still shareholders and whatever you are doing - you are screwing it up. We come when we see the stock price continue to drop, wondering WTF is going on and WHY you all aren't turning it around. If anything- Friday's closing price of $3.96, proves the problem wasn't those that were laid off. So it doesn't matter how many pep talks RDL gives you - CHK isn't performing as far at the market is concerned. So maybe you are the one that needs to stop trolling this site and get back to work.

I'm still here and it just reaffirms the fact that only the least productive and sub-standard performs where let go. I get so tired of all you miscreants shouting "all the best people where let go". That makes absolutely no sense at all. If you are not smart enough to see this as it is, then my case in point exactly. Do you actually believe that CHK has an obligation to pay sub-standard performers for sub-standard results? I am coming up on 11 years and have total job security because I have shown my skill set. CHK needs my skill set because I deliver results that would take 3 of you substandards to do and I do it in half the time. Instead of whining you should look at how you could better yourself which in turn benefits CHK. In all the years I have been here, I have developed technical workflows that make me invaluable. CHK needs me more than I need CHK. If I where to leave it would grind production to a halt and that is an understood as a fact.

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution. I'm not just part of the solution, I am the solution and I am CHK.

"people that we already kicked to the curb.".

If you are an upper management person, you are definitely part of the problem with that attitude. A lot of really good people got let go and you make it sound like everyone was a bitter, good for nothing employee??? Un-Fricking-Believable!!!!! That kind of raw arrogance is exactly why many in this industry hate us. No wonder potential buyers don't want our assets or want to purchase the company outright. The days of CHK being the King of Oklahoma are over forever. With management attitudes like that guy's, there is no hope. The King is dead!

How can the company continue to sell it's producing assets and expect the campus sheep to keep grazing while the good people that actually make money for the company continue to lose their jobs? Robbing Peter to pay Paul is a horrible business plan. I know the streets are paved with gold on campus but pride cometh before the fall. Cheers.

Yeah whatever you say dipweed! Most of the good folks are gone, the ones you "kicked to the curb". What's left are the "landman engineers" who try to pass themselves off as real engineers. Good luck with that, while the rest of the industry laughs it's a-- off at CHK. It's called karma baby!

Did you just copy and paste your comments from 3 years ago. You were saying the same sh-- and we are still standing! I come on here to remind myself of the bitter people that we already kicked to the curb.

Blah blah blah. We're all here. Sorting through the trashy comments. Bottom line. The company IS surviving as much as most of you trolls have predicted the demise. Chew on that.

Oh and 5.50 stock is not "making it" or doing "so much better"

And if it was SO GREAT, you wouldn't be on some stupid layoff forum talking about how awesome the company you work for is...

Yup. Truth hurts as indicated with the responses below! Creepy is the word for sure to those that no longer work at chk and haunt this site and post vile twisted things to stir up crap. We current employees that visit this site are here to let ya know - IT IS BETTER NOW THAT THINGS HAVE CHANGED! You just can't take it cause you were asked to leave. Move on. Get some therapy. (And to the person that is weirdly fascinated with dougs man parts - that's extremely concerning !! Me thinks you are having wet dreams about your former CEO! lol)
