That very competent “winner” put the current EC in place. Just a thought. In turn that bunch protects their cronies and we all know who they are right? That will be the “ winner’s” downfall. I pray and work for positive change everyday despite all that we are faced with here at CHK. I want to win.

It goes without saying that CHK is better off with less debt. Everything is better off with less debt. The difference is, it seems that the only way CHK has to get out of debt is through selling assets and laying off people. But hey, stock is almost $4.00, oil is on the rise. Things are looking up.

Maybe CHK can escape with the campus?

You know, one morning managers and VP's get on the morning production calls and it's crickets because everything was sold to pay that debt load. But hey, there'll be a campus! LOL

Pissed off - laid off former employees that trash their former leadership here makes for amusing therapy I guess. Rejection s---s. Just get over it. Reality is chk is better with less debt and people.

It’s not just the Utica. It’s throughout all BU’s. Why? Because it starts at the top, and the top enables it.

The good old boys club. Give a bad and unwarranted review to someone to make sure he or she is flagged, and save your buddy from the next layoff! Utica is full of inadequate managers leading the good old boys.

Clap clap clap clap.... there you have it. Board of Directors..... step up! Rid this company of this horrific senior leadership. It’s beyond time. We are losing too many talented people and if change isn’t made soon, more will leave and we will pass the tipping point. At the five year mark, we should have people viewing us as a great place to work. The continuing exodus of top talent tells you all you need to know.

It's the culture, which is set at the top. And no amount of culture training is going to fix it.

It's the fact that leadership doesn't want to hear thoughts that question their decisions. It's like they're not open to any other ideas but their own. That trickles down to the managers, trickles down to the supers.

Instead they want to paint everything in a positive way. I get that and understand that, but the first step to recovery is acknowledging you have a problem. Well thats not happening when everyone is patting themselves on the back instead taking constructive feedback from the field.

People from managers on up claim they are open minded and welcoming to constructive feedback but thats BS. Seen to many great employees that were truly open minded, took constructive feedback, listened, gave constructive feedback lose their jobs in the last layoff because they were open minded and tried to make things better for everyone involved but it went against the grain of the culture force fed us from the top.

Acknowledge there is a problem. Be a leader and welcome constructive feedback because you never know whose idea is going to change things in a truly more productive/better/cost savings way. Swallow your pride and listen to those and don't run them off because they try with all their might to make things better for both the company and the employees.

When management lays off great employees to save jobs for their "buddies" or "inner circle:" of workplace friends there is a problem that starts at the top. Because we lost great employees and retained worthless people who never get out of the office and get their hands dirty in the field.

This is suppose to be an E&P company. But because of the top and the people they have placed in positions (managers on up) Chesapeake is only a Peee company.
