FirstEnergy - Anyone else feeling the pinch on resources?

Lately, it feels like we're being asked to do more with less across the board at FirstEnergy. Budgets for training and development seem to have dried up, and even simple requests for new equipment are getting an extra layer of scrutiny. I've noticed a few teams are noticeably leaner than they were even six months ago, and there's a lot of internal shuffling going on. It's leading to longer project timelines and a general sense of being spread too thin. Is this a company-wide push for efficiency, or are we heading towards a more significant shake-up? Just trying to understand if this is a 'normal' utility industry trend right now or something specific to FE. Appreciate any insights.

Definitely seeing the same thing. Training budgets have been slashed, and getting approval for even basic supplies feels like a Herculean effort. It's not just you; the strain is palpable across multiple departments. The internal reorgs don't seem to be making things easier, either. Feels like we're constantly firefighting and juggling more than we realistically can. Wondering how long this can be sustained before it impacts reliability or service quality.
