He is the Creator and current mastermind of CHK Ponzi Scheme. He should be in prison for ripping off all the CHK share holders and contractors. Notice he is still there playing his financial games???? Promoting the stock just like before. Why isn't... — read more
I am ready!
To grab some popcorn and watch CHK try to control itself when it sees those high nat gas prices this winter! Cue the excess spending and huge paychecks for everyone, then the inevitable crash and layoffs. Hey CHK, ever heard of a rainy day fund? Ever... — read more
THERANOS IN THE PATCH
Blogs are arguing that Elizabeth Holmes is in court due to sexism. At first, I dismissed the idea. Persuasively, people are arguing that Aubrey, Tom, the rest of the gang and their progeny, beginning at CHK, told a heck of a lot more lies than... — read more
Discount clothing
I dropped off a box of CHK FR clothing yesterday at Goodwill. If you are interested in some discounted FR clothing, you can find them in Edmond. Some of them unused with the tags still on them. If your lucky enough you can get the whole set because I... — read more
unpaid overtime
Every day, for the last two months in particular, I work significant overtime. It's not paid but taken for granted. Needless to say, work/ life balance has become non-existent. I agree to it because I wouldn’t want to lose my job until I find a new... — read more
Q: Drastic career change
I have the opportunity to get out of here, the offer is pretty good, but I hesitate because that would mean making a big change in my career and leaving this industry. Some will say that this industry is declining anyways but still, I have been here... — read more
Honestly, is the grass really greener elsewhere?
Everyone who's left talks of how everything is much better now, how they earn more, they finally got some relief, they don’t have to roll their eyes at the incompetent etc. Sure, there’s a lot of better places than CHK, but is it just so ideal... — read more
Lack of leadership
I’m surprised that there’s not any leaders left at CHK. I’m not talking about titles, plenty of those, I’m talking about employees with a backbone. So you watch talented employees get let go, while we kept kept people with six months experience. Now... — read more
STX deal?
Hearing the deal with Mesquite fell thru and unable to make Chalk numbers work even with creative finance. Looking like a really bad spot for those left working this asset but sure our great leaders will continue pushing us to be “team players” until... — read more

THEFT IN THE PATCH 3.0
The Vine deal proves CHK is still following Aubrey’s playbook in lock step. The first 4 rules CHK always has and always will follow: (i) never follow the rules; (ii) never pay in cash; (iii) always demand payment in cash; and (iv) never tell the... — read more
What is the goal of their micromanagement?
Before I came to CHK I worked in companies where it was also very demanding to work and there was a lot of micromanagement. However, it was nothing compared to what I am experiencing here. This company seems to be trying to raise such a thing to a... — read more
Is everything great here like our VPs say it is?
That is, how far is “great” from the truth?
New CEO
So do we think the new CEO will be an old white man, or do you guys think they'll try to branch out and select a young white man?
Boondoggle Afoot
Just as Mr. Jablome predicted, CHK just announced they are buying Vine.
DON'T BORROW AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO HEDGE
Did any of the great minds in the CHK brain trust think of that? For almost the entire history of this country business experts have considered debt toxic. The Bozos, calling themselves Shalers, stood those principles on their heads. The result... — read more
Interim CEO is greedy! Imagine that!!
Under his current compensation plan, Wichterich received a salary of $61,250 per month through the end of July. That jumped to $204,583.33 per month in August, according to a regulatory... — read more
Engineers that found other jobs
After CHK. What are you/they doing now? I still cannot find anything and it's getting a little discouraging.
$452 million hedge loss
Bloomberg has an article about the financial loss from the hedges. CHK looks like it did great, expected hedge loss of $452 Million. At least we don’t produce as much as other, they’re going to lose more. However, it’s a little depressing when we... — read more
This is that sheet we’ve been talking about
So our news anchor leaves the company and co-starts a new company. Guess who one of their first clients is. Give up?? None other than Chesapeake. Imagine that!!
Unfairly distributed work
To stay in the company where I am overwhelmed with work, while others who are privileged for some reason do not have even a third as much work, do not have stress and have an excellent work-life balance? Unfortunately, only those who cannot find a... — read more
Why does Chesapeake still have all the VP's that were appointed by the now runoff with millions of pay executives??
Can't change the company without taking out the rest of the trash.

COVID cases rising
So quit complaining about people quitting. Soon there won't be an oil and gas industry to speak of so the fewer people saturating the company with overhead the better.
What an Incredibly Awful 8 Years
How many people were released due to “restructuring” when AKM ran the show? How many people could honestly say they didn’t feel appreciated or had been treated unprofessionally when MAB ran Human Resources? How many people did you see running... — read more
An astonishing number of people are leaving
I don't know if this many people have ever left this company before? Is that the goal of our top dogs? Since the start of the week, several colleagues of mine have left. I wonder if our leadership is ready to deal with the consequences that are... — read more
Vine Ripened Merger
A vineyard in Shreveport would be more profitable than this union.
Peace out MFs
This is my last week at this steaming pile. It’s been fun and horrible all at the same time. These last couple of months have been the hardest. Watching great people one by one walk away and seeing what was once a great place to work turn into what... — read more

Promotions and Raises
Finally. Wow, after all this we get a 3% bump after getting another 20% workload dumped on us after every layoff. Career trajectory is looking pretty dismal as this point of you plan to stay with the company. Me, I’m leaving in a couple weeks... — read more
How many colleagues have you lost lately?
A few bad people can destroy everything. I think CHK could have done a lot better, if only there weren’t a few people without any vision. And of course, that’s exactly why in the last 2 months my colleagues have left this company more than ever... — read more
Just a couple more rats to get
You ever notice how some people get the formal email from someone placed in a leadership role (notice how I never called them leaders) thanking them for their service to the company. While others get kicked in the nuts and shoved out the door. Ice... — read more
There is definitely life after CHK
People aren’t trying to stab you in your back and take your job at every turn. People aren’t filing BS claims with HR. There are no rumors of upcoming layoffs, the majority of people are actually happy to come to work, no one is stressed over if they... — read more

Best thing CHK ever produced before it was axed like the rest of us. RIP.
Here's what's going to happen
Acquisition in Haynesville. Selling S.TX. Selling (giving away) Rockies. Picking up rigs in App until pipeline constraints restrict development. One or two more rigs in Haynesville in 2022. Let attrition take its course after the asset sales. Another... — read more
People are turning against each other
I can’t remember when the atmosphere was more depressing where I work. People never saw each other as competition and the morale was good once, no matter how hard the times were. Now the company has created a sickeningly competitive atmosphere with... — read more
