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.

Absolutely. It feels like a constant cycle of being asked to do more with less. Projects pile up, and we're expected to just absorb the extra work without any real support or new resources. The 'efficiency' talk is just a smokescreen for expecting us to pick up the slack from departed colleagues or re-assigned duties. It's exhausting and unsustainable in the long run. Hope you and your team can find some relief soon.
