Paul:
The story everyone wants to read is “Should OKC be worried about this?”, not a rehash/rewrite of yesterday’s Reuters stories. Linking to everyone’s analysis of this and doing none of your own smacks of a cowardly newspaper.

“His approach to running his company also is renowned: Among other employee perks, on-site Botox treatments are available at its headquarters in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.”

Why does Aubrey want his employees to have that perennially surprised look? 0.0

Meranda, no one wants Chesapeake to fail, but any executive level malfeasance needs to be agreesively rooted out and dealt with so the company can recover and thrive. And the truth being told by national media outlets like Reuters and Forbes isn’t slander just because the Oklahoman doesn’t have the guts to report this story with the same clear-eyed sobriety. I’m sure that Enron’s former employees would have loved to uncover the truth about Ken Lay and his cronies in enough time to have saved their company and their community. Let’s hope that CHK’s Board of Directors makes some changes and has the courage to steer the company in the right direction, no matter how painful those changes may be in the short term. I’m sure plenty of CHK employees would give up their Botox treatments and fancy fitness facilities for a little long term job security.

To point out someone has bad business ethics is not slander, Meranda. Waht he has done by being dishonest may set back every single one of the causes CHK supports and the lives of his employees, if they go under. It’s not the first time he’s been less than transparent.

It is awesome how people like to slander a company that employs thousands of Oklahomans during a time when people are laying off, provides revenue for Oklahoma, gives to the communities of Oklahoma! And every year raises money for United Way! The Oklahoma Regional Food Bank! And Many Many Many other charities!!! Aubrey McClendon is all about his employees and what he can do for Oklahoma and yes, I am sure making sure his company that he began from the ground up is a success! And all you people can do is slander!!! Get a job and a life!
