Chessy’s Head Driller, Head Lawyer, and Head Accountant Get Fired
Three Chesapeake Energy senior vice presidents have been shown the door (i.e. got fired) as of Friday. Executive Vice President of Exploration and Production (i.e. head driller) Frank J. Patterson; Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary (i.e. head lawyer) James R. Webb; and Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer (i.e. head accountant) William M. Buergler exited on Friday. It was a "termination without cause." This follows the firing of their former boss, CEO Doug "the ax" Lawler, who himself got the ax not long after the company emerged from bankruptcy (see Doug Lawler Out as CEO of Chesapeake Energy).
