Are those laid off ever going to be able to get their stuff back?
Will Whiting be packing it up and allowing them to pick it up? It's a very low class move on Whiting's part to lay people off and not allow for them to pick personal possessions. I imagine Whiting would have to give back the possessions some... — read more

What is happening to Whiting
Anyone know?
So Whiting's CEO was involved in some misconduct at Anadarko. Not surprising.
There was word on the street that he had done these things, even before he got hired at Whiting. I am not surprised that Whiting hired another corrupt sleezebag.
