As an employee at CHK it is obvious to every person supervisor and below that the leadership level are out for only themselves.
A 4% raise to a person making $45k is drops in the bucket to a 4% raise to someone making $400k. It is a joke when that person busts their butt and gives everything they have for the company to be given a meets expectations and a 0.8 on their target bonus.
Then they turn around and see someone that is completely incompetent but has 4 Culture Posters and has memorized the Core Values get exceeds for doing absolutely nothing. Same goes for promotions. The people that deserve the promotions won’t get them because they ask questions rather than just saying yes to everything and continuing to run the company into the ground.
