Hey all, been with AEP for a few years now and things feel a little...unsettled lately. Haven't seen any official announcements, but there's a definite buzz around the virtual water cooler. People are whispering about potential workforce reductions, especially in non-core departments. Heard from a friend in another utility company that they're seeing similar trends across the industry due to rising costs and market pressures. Anyone else picking up on this? Just trying to get a pulse on what's really going on behind the scenes. Not trying to cause panic, just looking for honest observations. Feels like management is being pretty tight-lipped, which only adds to the anxiety. Curious if anyone has heard anything more concrete or has any insights into potential areas that might be affected. Stay safe everyone.

Yeah, I've definitely felt that unease too. It's hard to ignore the quiet conversations happening, even if nothing's official. It’s concerning, especially for those of us who have dedicated years to the company. The industry is certainly facing headwinds, and it makes sense that companies would be looking at ways to optimize. Hopefully, if anything does happen, it's handled with transparency and support for those affected. I'm just trying to stay focused on my work and hope for the best.
