Anyone else noticing the travel freeze?

Is it just me, or did all travel and non-essential spend get shut down overnight? I’ve been trying to get approval for a site visit that was already in the budget, and leadership is stonewalling everything. Usually, this happens right before they pull the rug out from under us to make the quarterly numbers look better for the board. My manager is being extremely tight-lipped, which honestly feels like a major red flag at this point. Last time things felt this quiet, we had the big shakeup in the T&D division. Has anyone heard anything about 'efficiency initiatives' or headcount reviews in their respective departments? The rumors are starting to swirl in the hallways, but nobody is saying anything on record. Just trying to figure out if I should start polishing the resume now or if I’m just being paranoid.

Contractor conversion freeze and budget cuts

Is it just me, or is the budget for new headcount looking absolutely bleak right now? We had two open spots in my team that were essentially ghosted by HR last week. No word on the freeze, just 'under review.' It feels like they are tightening the belt significantly, and we all know how this usually ends—once the contractors get phased out, the full-time staff starts looking over their shoulders. I’m tired of the constant anxiety every time a calendar invite labeled 'Business Update' pops up on a Friday afternoon. If they are planning to do a layoff, I wish they’d just rip the band-aid off instead of keeping everyone in this perpetual state of limbo. Is there even any hiring happening in other departments, or is the whole company in a holding pattern?

Quiet rumors about Q4 reorg?

Has anyone heard anything concrete lately? I’ve been seeing a weird uptick in 'efficiency' talk from leadership during the town halls. Usually, when they start harping on 'optimizing operational spend' and 'streamlining our regional footprint,' it’s code for a headcount reduction by the end of the fiscal year. My manager has been acting completely detached during our 1:1s, which is a massive departure from his usual micromanaging self. It feels like he’s either checked out or already knows something he can’t talk about. I’ve started brushing up my resume just in case, but it’s hard to tell if I’m just being paranoid or if the writing is on the wall. Is anyone else noticing their direct supervisors getting unusually tight-lipped, or is it just my department?

Eversource - Performance review season and upcoming goals

Hi all, With performance review season approaching at Eversource, I'm bracing myself. Last year's review felt a bit like a formality, but this year feels different. There's a lot of talk about "efficiency" and "streamlining operations." My manager has been pushing hard on individual performance metrics, and honestly, it feels like they're setting the stage for something. I'm not hearing explicit layoff chatter, but the emphasis on individual productivity and the general economic climate make me wonder about future workforce adjustments. Are others finding their managers are putting more pressure on them? Or are you seeing new, more demanding goals being set that feel harder to achieve? Trying to figure out if this is a company-wide push or just my specific team being put through the wringer. Any advice on how to navigate this? Should I be proactively updating my resume, or is this just standard corporate speak during review cycles? Appreciate any thoughts.

Eversource - Anyone else feeling the job insecurity?

Hey everyone, Been with Eversource for a few years now in [Department/Role - e.g., Engineering]. Lately, the atmosphere feels... different. We've had a few 'restructuring' meetings, and while nothing concrete about layoffs has been announced, there's a definite sense of unease. Projects seem to be slowing down, and there's less hiring happening than usual. I've also noticed a few internal transfers that feel more like people being shifted around to fill gaps rather than strategic moves. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any insights into what might be going on behind the scenes? Management is being pretty tight-lipped, which just adds to the anxiety. Trying to stay optimistic, but it's hard when you're constantly wondering if your role is safe. Curious to hear if others are feeling the same pressure or if it's just my department/location. Stay safe out there.

Eversource - Feeling Undervalued? Salary and Compensation

Is anyone else feeling like their salary at Eversource isn't keeping up? I've been here a few years and while I appreciate the stability, the compensation just doesn't seem to be matching the market or the workload. The cost of living keeps going up, and it feels like raises are minimal, if any, year over year. I've seen some posts about other utility companies and their salary ranges, and it makes me wonder if we're being paid fairly. Has anyone had success negotiating a significant raise recently, or have any insights into how compensation is structured there? Trying to figure out if it's worth pushing for more or if it's time to start looking elsewhere. Appreciate any honest feedback.

Hey everyone, just wanted to see if I'm alone here. Lately, it feels like the workload at Eversource has been piling up significantly. I've been seeing a lot more mandatory overtime across different departments, and it's starting to take a toll. My team is stretched thin, and it feels like we're constantly playing catch-up. New projects keep getting added, but it doesn't seem like the headcount is really keeping pace. I'm starting to wonder if this is a company-wide trend or if it's just specific to certain areas. Anyone else in a similar boat? How are you guys managing the increased pressure? Is anyone else concerned about potential burnout or if this level of demand is sustainable long-term?

Eversource - Anyone hearing whispers about the new initiative?

Seeing a lot of internal comms about "Project Horizon" or whatever they're calling this new strategic push. Honestly, it feels a bit vague and all the buzzwords are making my head spin.

Feels like a big organizational shift is brewing and I'm trying to figure out if it's going to mean new opportunities or just more chaos.

Eversource - Compensation and Benefits review? Seems stagnant.

Is anyone else feeling like compensation and benefits at Eversource haven't kept pace? I've been here for [number] years, and while I appreciate the stability, my salary feels like it's plateaued compared to industry benchmarks. I've seen the cost of living go up significantly, and honestly, the benefits package, while decent, doesn't feel as competitive as it used to. I'm wondering if there are any internal discussions or if anyone has heard anything about a comprehensive review of pay scales and benefit offerings happening anytime soon. It's getting harder to justify staying put when the financial picture isn't tracking with personal expenses and market value. Just wondering if this is a common sentiment or if I'm off base here. Open to hearing about experiences or any intel people might have.

Eversource - Anyone seeing increased workload without additional staff?

Starting to feel seriously stretched thin at Eversource. Over the past six months, my team's responsibilities have expanded significantly, taking on projects that were previously handled elsewhere, and we've also lost a couple of key people who haven't been backfilled. The workload is becoming unmanageable, and it's impacting both the quality of our output and our work-life balance. Management keeps talking about 'efficiency' and 'streamlining,' but it feels more like they're just squeezing more out of the people who are left. Is this a company-wide trend, or is it specific to certain departments? I'm starting to wonder if this is a precursor to something, or if they're just genuinely understaffed and over-optimistic about what current teams can handle. It's getting to the point where burnout feels inevitable if things don't change soon. Curious to hear if others are in similar boats.

Lost my job at Eversource last week, trying to prep for interviews

Well, it happened. Got the dreaded meeting invite yesterday and was let go. Been in customer service for about 7 years, always thought I was pretty safe. Turns out, nope. HR was… efficient, I guess? Gave me the standard severance package info, but honestly, my head was spinning. Now I'm trying to pull myself together and actually start looking. Anyone else been through this recently? What kind of questions are they hitting you with in interviews? Any tips for brushing up my resume or specific skills that might be in demand right now, especially in the utility sector? I feel completely blindsided and rusty on the whole job hunting process.
