It’s 2002 and I can’t believe I have tell you this. The Golden Rule applies at work and what starts with and “L” and ends in a “Y” will come full circle this week for staff that is not earning their paycheck. This will be from leaders to land to IT. ... — read more
Not so great company to work for
I used to really love working here but now this no longer looks like the company I applied for a few years ago. There seem to be more and more dissatisfied people than those who are still happy to be working here?
Layoffs Imminent
Even with soaring natural gas prices, we are still too top heavy with admin and leaders. Spring cleaning is imminent.
Field vs Corporate
Ok folks. Here goes. We all know about the dichotomy in these organizations of “field vs corporate”….. blah blah blah….. “Field operates like the wild Wild West..”…..”Corporate is so out of touch and bloated with unnecessary fat….” Well, it’s time... — read more
Levers and Leverage
Just read the earnings transcript instead of listening to the pastor drone on and on about greed is sin. Blah blah blah. WJW and CC are not getting this by any of us in the know. If I read it once I read it a dozen times that each used the words... — read more
Project 99 Will be approved this week
See earlier thread. Gets approval this week. Not clear on implementation and will pass along what I can.
I was laid off
I was laid off in 2020 and so glad as my career is better off today. I love this website and this board. I know the crew of 6 that post their heart and soul on this board. I still talk with them regularly. One of them asked me if Bill was a fish... — read more
Project 99
That’s the code (not the Grand Parkway) for next layoff. If you guessed 99 is total # for 2022 then pick up your prize in a white legal size envelope. Thanks for playing along.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK
Please check this board each day. I can’t say when but this week there will be a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! Trust the source!!
Tuesday 2/1
Is the day. Nice and clean. You will NOT, I repeat, you will not be getting paid for Tuesday. 1/31 is last pay day. 2/28 is last day of benefits. No severance.
Ever since 2016
Ever since the first big layoff in 2016, oh my 6 years ago, I sat in my office and laughed at those poor suckers. Each layoff since laughed even harder. Going to be laughing again REAL soon.
2022 Raises…
🙂 or 😖
Way CEO award?!?
Hear ye, hear ye, read all about it. Way is up for “CEO of the Year - Independent Operators” for 2021. Just how, why and how? Can someone explain?
No layoffs
Please don't scare people for no reason. If there were to be any layoffs this week, they would have happened by now. I don't remember that SWN ever had layoffs later in the week. It's either Tuesday or Wednesday. If you are among those who were... — read more
V+ ?
SWN down 40% since he took over as CEO ($7.65 to current). Way over his head! He has the reverse midas touch. How can investors and Board be okay with that? He is a laughing stock within the industry. Other CEOs can't stand him - esp those that... — read more
Layoffs this week?
Well, it should be an interesting week. I have it on good authority that layoffs are a go for this week. White packets being assembled in the HR war room. No WARN required based on numbers. Godspeed to all.
Whose Ready For A New CEO
Count me in! I am ready for “5 buck Bill” to hit the unemployment line. He has ruined our once great company starting WAY back in 2016 as CEO. Correct if I am wrong but the stock price has historically gone down down down with him as a CEO. I am... — read more
Furlough Feint
I have it on good authority that the talk about furloughs was a feint - inside job - to distract from the February freeze of pay raises, travel, hiring, interns, and bonuses - delayed until third quarter. Sounds like layoffs won’t happen if the... — read more
$50 in 5
Checking back in on this goal that our fearless leader almost launched more than 5 years ago now. He had to be walked back from the ledge of launching it. $50 stock price in 5 years! Boy, he'd really be a laughing stock if he would have done that... — read more
Furloughs starting this week
Attention all Southwest employees: due to the surge in Omicron virus, and employees who chose not to join the almighty vaxx bandwagon, management will be implementing mandatory furloughs for all staffing levels below Director, starting this week... — read more
Special Town Hall Session
I got an email this morning about an impromptu town hall meeting that is scheduled on Tuesday, Jan 4th to address the rumors about layoffs. My email said to attend in person in conference room A (and to bring all my personal belongings) but in... — read more
Who Is The Grinch
Rhymes with swill and rhymes with lay He will layoff 33% of the headcount this year. Why? Cause he can and enjoys it.
How long till layoffs?
Is it just a malicious rumor that there will be layoffs before the end of the year, or are we safe until January or February when there are regular layoffs here? Spill the beans, please.
Is SWN coming back to AR
Ex FS employee here. Anyone know if SWN is coming back to FS. Hearing some things. If they do will we get hiring preference? I hope they do and miss this company.
Somebody is in deep doo doo
News of this has been removed 3 other times in this forum… it’s news that must be incredibly accurate as it keeps getting censored by the censorship team. Heard back yet again from outside law firm hired by board. Felt like a mole sitting in my... — read more
Gonna Be Change So Let’s Go Bill
You heard it here first. Change before end of year. Can’t say what as it will give away my role in HR. Just be nice and not naughty.
Got laid off after my vacation
I just returned from a vacation and upon entry to my office, I was met by my boss and was let go, much to my surprise. I wasn’t on the planned layoff list, cause I helped develop it, but they got me anyway. Oh well, not surprised by anything this... — read more
Thanksgiving
What are you thankful for my fellow Southwestern co-workers, peers and mentors? Me = a paycheck every 2 weeks while I look for a job to start in January 22.
Just Another S*&^t Show
Well damn. Is there something in the water in Spring Texas? I just left XOM last month. SSDD there. I'm up for a job at SWN. Sounds like I'd be going from the frying pan straight to Beelzebub's pit of despair and hellfire. I don't like this one at... — read more
LAYOFFS IN JANUARY - CONFIRMED
Oh boy. Got word from BOD meeting, that some of us will be getting post Christmas “presents”. In other words, a pile of coal and a $hit sandwich from the Jolly ol Elf himself, WJW. This one to be record breaking in terms of SWN layoffs. That’s saying... — read more
Is this legit
Can anyone tell me is this legit 8B USD lost + Stock price less than commodity price + CEO trolled by employees + 6 years of layoffs = SWN is the ultimate industry laughingstock
See page 3 of sec form 10Q filed yesterday
We lost 1.857 billion in 3rd quarter. We have lost 2.386 billion so far this year. Ain’t the work product of swn executives something to behold?
We concentrate on what we do have, not what we don’t have: us marine Corp.
The brain trust lost 1.8 billion last quarter. Looks like we gonna have losses of 3 billion for 2021. Why are these clowns with nothing but years of losses expanding? Blackstone getting their end in cash, so not all of their business moves are... — read more

Any New News or ANN about next round of layoffs? To the group of accountants who like to post about our beloved leader. Just stop!!! We know he is a failure and has a 10 year track record of that while he has been with us. If your a CEO and... — read more
How busy are you?
Or is it better to work only the bare minimum but pretend to work hard, as do all those who are highly valued here in this company?
Intentional Misclassification of employees as independent contractors.
If employee misclassification is causing tax fraud, workers can anonymously report their employers to the IRS by filing Form 3949-A. If workers would like the IRS to make a determination about their worker status, they can file the non-anonymous Form... — read more
