Topics regarding layoffs at Chesapeake Energy Corp.

Thankful

I come back to this site every once in a while to remind myself what people sound like when they are bitter and able to say things anonymously that may or may not have the slightest bit of truth to them, instead of just doing their jobs. Thanks for... — read more 

Friends in high places

Q: What happens when your friends at the top have left? What are you supposed to do when the umbrella is gone? A: You get rained on and then you get gone. Save your paycheck and pack your bags. Your little bubble is about to burst.

What's happening at CHK these days?

Have things improved in the past three years since I left? I liked my job there for the most part but for my last two years, things have been changing for the worse so rapidly that I decided to leave before things deteriorated even further. I keep... — read more 

Let's talk about voluntary layoffs and favoritism

Now, I bet you won't be surprised to know that some people were told "no" when literally begging for a voluntary severance last year, and some people left with a small nest egg. Might we venture to guess why these chosen ones got a windfall to sit... — read more

Webb of lies

Do my eyes deceive me? Did I wake up to see that they finally got rid of the dusty ole spider? OMG!! I never thought I would see the day that they would get rid of the most unethical officer in the company. Ironically heading up the ethics and... — read more 

Drilling Folks

The previous post meandered into some dirt on drilling folks in the field. That was the best part. The $60k KLX thing in STX... wow. What else is there? Any stories? Only use initials or hints, don’t give any names. I know of some ticket signing... — read more

Exodus

and so it begins. Three more execs walking out tells me all i need to know about what is really going on. No way they leave if what is being said about our buying other assets or companies is true. Writing is on the wall. Getting my resume out... — read more

STX negotiations

Very complex situation, but the end goal is clear, whole business unit should be gone soon.

S. Murphy as Chesapeake CEO?

I heard he is related to the founders of Murphy Oil Corporation. He started at the very bottom, pumping toilets on a rig. He doesn’t play games like rigged economics and he hates debt. Just saw his post on LinkedIn on his announcement that his name... — read more

Check out this definition, from an old DSM, of a phase of the mental illness, manic-depression, known as hypomania: Hypomania (literally “under mania” or "less than mania") is a mood state characterized by persistent disinhibition and pervasive... — read more 

How much have you developed your skillset here?

Of course, this is an individual thing, but the company you worked for also has a lot to do with it. After I managed to get a job at a company in this sector, I was surprised how people went much further in terms of technical knowledge and... — read more 

Out of line

It seems posts on here keep getting deleted. Upcoming CEO will clean upper management house and that may trickle down into mid management. HODL onto your hats... and your jobs?

Feeling your reputation ruined?

Anyone who has a great skillset and is worth something will not stay at Chesepeake because people who know what they want and have a healthy career path do not want to let their reputation be ruined. I noticed a long time ago that the experience in... — read more

Did the new guy in the glass tower shut down comments on this board?

Show Bizness Kids

Is there a way at all to keep a job here?

The work I do here is not at all safe and I am very afraid of losing it. Colleagues who were laid off earlier were hard workers and I know for sure that it is just a matter of luck that they were on the layoff list and not me. I care about keeping... — read more 

Awwww

Wonder what’s going to happen to DD in STX since his protector is leaving ???

Curious

Why did your beloved ceo leave just 2 weeks before scheduled Q1 earnings ? He knows what the numbers are already. They must not be very shiny. NCF probably never changed after fraudulent bankruptcy.

What can we expect from DL's replacement?

Yes, he was a horrible CEO who almost single-handedly managed to destroy this place, but what are the chances that whoever comes after him will be any better? I doubt they'll look for anybody progressive with new ideas to replace him. I think they'll... — read more 

New BoD signaled the end of Foug

When you look at the make up of the board that was put in place, Doug’s departure was a certain outcome. The interim CEO is a PWC accountant type. Will he put up with the legacy poor engineering and economic decisions – I.e., Rockies, South Texas... — read more 

No Mas!

We told you what to change. We left because we lost faith. Good luck.

The "Chesapeake Family"

Repeatedly on this site, employees, even former employees having been terminated, refer to their “Chesapeake Family.” Of course, there ain’t no Chesapeake Family and there never has been. The moment you become inconvenient, CHK drops you like a hot... — read more
