@ CHK Truth 3:24, need to take issue with one comment you made. The OKC folks don't support the field, any more than the field supports OKC. Geology finds the best locations, Land leases it, Drilling gets the well drilled, and Operations completes... — read more

Does anyone know if CHK is going to develope the 400,000 acres they have leased in North Dakota or sell it?

The town hall was brutal. "Ok guys I know you are all sad that I laid off 800 people yesterday but it also wanted to let you know that if I were you I wouldn't run out and buy those Christmas presents just yet because I'm also getting rid off your... — read more 

@CHK Truth Friday: Your observation is spot on. AKM surrounded himself with "yes" men and women and the result was a constant power grab laced with arrogance and a sense of entitlement. Most of those folks are now gone, but there are a number of them... — read more

@23:40. Nope, that's exactly who I'm talking about. Her husband had a long history of awarded playoff ticket requests. Not the cheap seats either.

CHK truth is dead on. Any manager in the city worth his tie and cufflinks knew the company was a land machine driven by high prices and big borrowing. Nothing strategic or technical about it.

Tom Price - thanks for the "anonymous" post as To Henry H. We almost couldn't tell it was you for at least 2 seconds.

"CHK Truth , Friday 10/11/13 03:24:37" kudos... Agree 1000 percent...

To Henry H @ 19:22 and all those that pine for the old days. The "human" side I saw was an incredible number of incompetent managers at all levels making ridiculous sums of money and producing nothing. Entrepreneurial? Get serious. Gamblers and... — read more 

Have to remind my naive chesa-friends that corporate america is here to stay. More cuts are in store as the company continues to realign.

Good luck, everyone!

Let's be real... 11000+ people to do dry gas when gas is so cheap... not very efficient compared to competitors. I still think the company is too big.

Your thinking about the other party planner, she and her husband were both let go on Tuesday. The other party planner, Ice cream, son cone, whatever her name is still there

Who's left in A&D

I wonder if the ex-party planner/new director's husband still works there as well. I guess they had to do something to sweeten the deal since her and her husband won't be able to go to all of the Thunder playoff games together on CHK's dime. Why... — read more 

Thank you Henry Hood, needed that encouragement !

AKM is probably the greatest landman in American history and he'll def be back. Mr. Lawler on the other hand, is just stripping bare the company Aubrey built...and probably knows nothing about hedging to boot. Just a damn stripper.

Henry Hood...thank you

what perks are being cut?

Thanks for your comments Henry. A lot of people are really missing the human side of CHK right now. I am an employee, and it is really sad to see the new leadership play this game with their people. CHK had a culture of entrepreneurs and bold... — read more

Thank you Henry. Appreciate your supportive comments! Best wishes to you as well Sir.

Guys I just keep looking at my etrade account and I swear to god it puts the biggest smile on my face! The poor souls still there just have to look at it and know they would have at least 4 more years until it was all theirs!

Thanks Henry, good post.

My heart goes out to all the CHK employees who recently lost their jobs. We "outties" are a growing fraternity! You are the best trained and experienced workers in the energy industry and I am hopeful you will find new positions quickly.I and I know... — read more

It's definitely not financial. My position was created to eliminate the $440,000 spent on vendors in 2011. I didn't make anywhere near that. So what does that say? This was more like a just cut the force thing to show people were serious. Seriously... — read more 

Worst town hall in company history. Talk about beat a dog while he is down. This guy is a leader??!! Really? Wow. Does this guy have a positive side? Does he like anything about the employees? Sure doesn't sound like it.

what happens to people when DL sells the Barnette?

So I am gone, why is the stock down. Not good and guess what, when the earnings are announced before opening, that still will not make the stock go up that much.

What did everyone that is still employed think of that Town Hall meeting today? Are you inspired to give it your all?!?!?
