Is anyone else tracking the latest WARN notices? I just saw the filings from the end of April. We are looking at over 100 people in Miami Gardens and another batch in California getting cut effective June 30th. It feels like this company is just carving out pieces of the business every single month now. I’ve been with CenterPoint for a few years and the morale on my floor is non-existent. We keep hearing about 'strategic restructuring' and 'optimizing operations,' but it’s just exhausting waiting for the other shoe to drop. Has anyone heard if there are more states coming or if this is it for Q2? My manager is being tight-lipped as usual, but the energy in the office is incredibly tense. I’m starting to think it’s time to polish the resume and jump ship before the next round of notifications hits. Stay safe out there everyone.

It is honestly getting ridiculous at this point. Every time I open my email, I’m bracing myself for another 'strategic' announcement that ends with someone packing their desk. We’re all just waiting for our number to come up while management continues to toss around corporate buzzwords to mask the reality. The turnover is so high now that institutional knowledge is basically vanishing. At this rate, I’m not sure how they expect the grid to function properly when everyone who actually knows how to keep things running is getting pushed out the door.

I stopped believing the 'optimizing operations' narrative a long time ago. It is clear that the focus has shifted entirely to cutting costs to satisfy shareholders rather than maintaining any kind of stability for the workforce. Watching colleagues who have been here for years get cut during these rolling notices is demoralizing for those of us left behind. Nobody feels secure anymore, and that constant anxiety is just killing productivity. If you are still there, keep your resume updated because loyalty clearly doesn’t mean anything to the leadership team anymore.
