How to further your career at Chesapeake: instead of working hard in the field and making sure you put Chesapeake's best interest first concentrate on s---ing up to your foreman and superintendents so you look good on paper. You'll get an amazing compensation and not have to do any work all year. Most of the foremans dont have a backbone and are more concerned about people's feelings so just act upset if you screw up or get your nose extra brown, thats the key to success at Chesapeake.

"Fore" men need to have skin in the game. This buyout is gonna be painful with more on the outside at the end than any layoff could ever do
Nice! Very accurate assessment. I was a foreman there with backbone. I spent 80% of my time on location helping out the men I worked with. I also made decisions based off what was best for the company AND the men I worked with. Never got in trouble, not even a verbal reprimand. But I was let go and replaced by office s--- ups that have no work ethic. Oh well, I’m glad. I’m on to better things, learning so much more than CHK had to offer, and pulling in a little over 20k a month. God bless CHK for letting me go and handing me a fat severance that I was able to bank roll. Between the severance and my new income I’m going to pay off the final 59k I own on my home in the near future. 16 years early. THANK YOU CHK! God bless ya!
I do worry about my friends still there. Going off the last posters analogy of a chop shop. It’s sad to see the once mighty CHK being parted out like a salvaged car in a salvage yard. Oh well. Not my circus anymore.
