Anyone hear anything about second wave this year?

@jf2 No. But, If we make it through this round, I wonder if Brian T. will have it in his heart to wait until January to lay more of us off. But I doubt it. I'm taking the bet that it will be 1-2weeks before Thanksgiving or Christmas.
@OP Anyone have information on this? What additional teams will be affected?
@jb9 Please give an update about the meeting if you hear
8-27-2025 layoffs included lots IT (scrum masters, project managers, and analysts) and HR (talent acquisition, HR reps). We also used to have 2 lead negotiators now we only have 1. Why the he-l do we have a VP of labor relations (Christopher Antonio Lopez) with only 2 reports in the entire department? Used to be 2 negotiators and an admin tech. Now it’s a negotiator and an admin tech. This company is VP bloated with Brian’s buddies
I told everyone at FirstEnergy that Brian X was bad from day one. There was no coincidence that he came from Blackstone after 2021, Blackstone having purchased 49 percent of the transmission business.
Have you ever noticed his stupid little disingenuous smirk this morher-fu***er has on his face. Both in this "FE Live" Town Halls and in person, when he walks around the old downtown building and the WAC.
Don't get me started on the stupid a-s "hype music" he insisted of being played in the "waiting room" of the TEAMs meeting prior to the FE Live staring. Like he is trying to sell us a timeshare.
Interim CIO is Daniel Puscas, who specializes in IT reorgs and divestitures. I imagine we'll be losing a lot of our data scientists and data engineers tomorrow.
@jb0 this company su-ks a-s
Also concerned about this new secretive temp CIO we have that for some reason they haven’t publicly announced. IT has an All Hands meeting with the new CIO tomorrow. I suspect another shakeup then too…
@jaj Im hearing the same 50 in Akron...6 in Greensburg?? Not much details but sounds like this was out of nowhere. What is happening? Do you have any info?
@609 layoff happening now so I guess he’s right.
Stop it, Karl. Your co-mie ramblings were bad enough over on the AEP board. Leave these folks alone.
Are you owned by First Energy or merely employed by First Energy. We are American citizens with rights and freedoms and if you detest the way you are being treated think long and hard about the candidates you vote for in the mid term elections. Next year is the 250th Anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence and we the people are empowered to be the masters of our own destiny. Only what we condone and enable shall remain. If immense wealth is used as a we-pon of mass oppression and exploitation, we the people have the power to strip tyrants of their immense wealth through aggressive and punitive taxation. It is time for the only majority in America to impose their will on their minority tormenters. Abuse the blessings our grace has afforded you, petulant children and we the adults shall take them away,
Did they clarify on who was going to be affected by RTO? There are tons of remoteemployees outside of the footprint
RTO is just forced layoff so these buffoons can thin the company for merger/sale while collecting their big fat paycheck and stock options.

No layoffs that I heard, but full time RTO on July 7. When asked for data supporting this decision, we were told there was none and that this is entirely based on beliefs.
I heard there’s supposed to be an announcement on the next FE Live in May. Reasonable to assume it won’t be good news.
We’re outsourcing the sh-t out of this place. If you think you’re the only one who can do the job you’re wrong.
1Q25 earnings call on 4/24/25 would probably be the first time anyone hears anything
