Eversource Energy - Thoughts on future job security?

So, I've been with Eversource for a while now and generally feel pretty stable. But lately, with all the news about other companies making cuts, I've started to think more about job security here. Are there specific departments or roles at Eversource that might be more vulnerable in a downturn? Or do we think the utility sector is generally more insulated? I'm not trying to spread panic, just trying to get a sense of the landscape and maybe prepare myself mentally or professionally if there's a need. Curious to hear what others are thinking or any discussions happening internally.

Utilities are usually pretty resilient, especially ones that provide essential services like power and gas. Eversource is a massive operation, so I wouldn't worry too much about widespread layoffs like you might see in other industries. They've got a lot of infrastructure to maintain and upgrade, which generally means steady work. Focus on your specific role and how it contributes to keeping the lights on – that's usually a safe bet.

It's smart to think ahead, but the utility sector does tend to be more stable than many. Eversource has a regulatory role that often protects it from the extreme boom-and-bust cycles. While some areas might see shifts with technology or regulatory changes, the core business of energy delivery is hard to cut back on. Keep up your skills and stay informed about industry trends, but I wouldn't be overly concerned about broad job security issues at this point.
