So glad I have a better job now and no longer have to feel embarrassed to tell people where I work. I can finally make long-term financial decisions because I’m not worried about playing someone’s sick game every two years.

Sit down children and let me tell you a story about the shoeshiner. So just a few months ago the shoeshiner in Bld 15 was entrusted with three delicate souls to lead, mentor, and provide professional guidance. Although everyone else knew what the... — read more

Rumors are flying around that Wildhorse Resources is interested in merging with Chesapeake.

This group is in total chaos. Every manager hates the leader. No direction, no patience, not involved in any capacity.

For me, this is a good sign. The fact is that the more they buy the more their personal interest are aligned with the company’s interest. The other thing is that these people mostly care about their personal profit and wealth and wouldn't be buying... — read more

We know what was behind the $1.59 anomaly on 2-19-2016 (false rumors), but with < $5 share prices for the last 18 months, culminating in an inexorable decline to $1.90 today, what gives??

Ah, but the KH/KD saga continues...even as stock price is $1.98 as of Dec 20, 9:48 AM EST Say what you will about Aubrey, but he NEVER would have allowed such incompetence and cronyism to persist for so long. Fortunately, moved all my CHK 401k into... — read more 

Should I take that as a good sign? Could it be that the next year could be a good one for us?

This is so great now, i love the new culture. Happy employees means more than actual work. Don't have to work hard any more. Get to sit around for most of the day and act like your working and being happy. Just need to make the ones that do work do... — read more

I don’t know why everyone is so upset. We just added several hundred thousand acres of wild horses to our circus. We are now officially the Barnum and Bailey of OKC.

It's another private-equity-backed emerging-play company getting bought by an "excessively" levered gassy E&P for "some blend of financial engineering and strategic shift," says the firm's Bob Brackett. And in the end, that deal was a disappointment... — read more

The San Antonio office is going to look like your living room on Christmas morning; people are going to be accepting packages left and right with great big smiles on their faces.

Here comes a RIF. They are about to thin the herd, my friend. You are a patsy for your bosses preferred employee. That is the groundwork for middle management to control who is first picked to join the open market.

Has anybody at Chesapeake survived being put on PIP? Or should I just pack my bags right now?

Have you made your decision yet? Post here. I have I am going to take the package I figure with the severance and the separation date not until after the first that I will have ample time to land a new position. 1 interview set for next week already... — read more

Does the company have to pay a relocation bonus if the office where I report to is moved 110 miles from where I currently report? Or offer a package if I choose not to relocate? Let's just say hypothetically

Another one bites the dust. And another ones down and another one bites the dust. We should get a loud speaker and play this from the top of building 1 every time someone resignes. This could be the exit theme song for the mass Exodus.

I left CHK several months back, did they ever sell/rent those East buildings? Last I had heard they were looking into consolidating into fewer buildings but did not know how to divide the HVAC loop that is tied to those buildings. Also, the daycare... — read more
