Thread regarding Chesapeake Energy Corp. layoffs

I am CHK.

I am a field office employee. I am not tied to any industry by trade or by choice. I am a degreed professional. My skillset is transferable to any industry. So even if CHK folds, I will be fine. Sadly though, no industry is as professionally rewarding as O&G. Three days this week, I got to work three hours earlier than normal. 4ish knocked out all my crap... then i pushed back from my desk, I put on my gloves, my hard hat and I changed chokes, dump valves and fixed a gate. Turned wrenches and ate lunch onmy tailgate. Those are not my normal job duties, I sit at a desk, and email, and coordinate and Manage a team. I wasn't told to do it. I dont even think its a big deal. Not sure if anyone other than the operators I was working with realized it. And suprisingly they didn't make that much fun of how out of shape I am. Now I don't get paid overtime, so this is just me adding some value. Mostly i did it because it made me better at my job, I saved CHK some money and i had a blast working my a-- off with my friends. Those of you who want me to fail, Let this ring in your ears. I did it because I want my colleagues back. I have been here through 100 % turnover in my line of supervisors through and including the CEO. I will say this, that line has only gotten stronger, at CHK the Weak self-select out. I don't drink cool-aid. I drink coffee. I know what my executive leadership team is made of.... Leaders... leaders who go to bat for our team every waking moment. That is all I need. That is all I ask for. Thank you.

For you haters. You can short us but you cannot stop us. Our legacy debt and past crappy deals might catch up to us. But if they don't you should buy some of our stock. We do it better, faster, cheaper smarter, safer then anyone. That's why

I am CHK.

This post is so good, find a deeper meaning each time I read it. Hope this guy (or gal) is still managing a team and changing chokes tomorrow morning. Keeps me going...

I am CHK

Your a fool!!!

I too managed, turn wrenches, busted my a-- off, but where did it get me? NO WHERE!!

You say you drink coffee? Try smelling it!! CHk doesn’t care!!!

I too tried saving money every where we could and even had several of my team members think outside the box, which in return made CHK lots of money due to their fu.. ups. CHK don’t care what you do nor do they care how much you work you put in as long as they can make a buck off of you.

How many time must you be reminded that we are no longer CHK. We are Ananadarko.

Anadarko was led by many leaders we have now and look what they accomplished. NOTHING!! They ran that company into the ground in STX and is exactly what they want to accomplish with CHK. I was forced to hire a few of their ex- employees and quickly released them as they knew nothing about production or how the equipment worked and then questioned why they were terminated. This is bull s...!!! A few months later, I was released. NO I didn’t get fired but was offered a severance package. For what???

DD, I hope you can live with yourself knowing how many lives you destroyed. Just remember, Karma never sleeps and you will soon get what you deserve. And guess what? I too will be laughing just like you were when you let go of some key players in STX.

I worked my a$$ off too but numbers are numbers. Don't think for a second that your self-righteousness dedication is the reason for you being so valued and still employed. In the end, you're just a number. An employee ID tied to an area where days could be numbered too.
