Heard through the grapevine that some California layoffs have already started this week, first week of January 2026. Also lots of demotions.
With the state of the economy, people are now having to choose between having food on the table, pay their mortgage or buying health care, and nobody wants to hear about solar.
And because of all of this, those of us who have been with the company for years are being penalized because sales are down.
We can’t help it that customers choose to cancel appointments, or even if they do sit they are not ready to sign the installation agreement.
It’s giving me, personally, such anxiety attacks that if I lose this job after being with this company for over seven years, I won’t be able to afford my health care. I have been looking for other jobs but nothing has panned out.
The pay has been as low as it’s been with only the hourly and I have to juggle my bills.
This is unsustainable.
We the regular employees are suffering while the execs will get great “going away” packages and we are left with nothing.

Just got let go today, Hybrid Field Tech .
I got word that on-shore permitting got hit today across the country. Which makes no sense, given the fact they'll probably open up more positions when volume picks up in 3-4 months. What a joke!
There is something in the air and I'm not talking about chemtrails
The latest Sunrun layoffs expose the real problem: there’s no one left in marketing who knows how to create demand without incentives. We’re still running the same tired playbook that only worked when subsidies did the work for us. When incentives disappear and demand collapses, that’s not a market issue, it’s a strategy failure. We chose to prop up growth with internal sales incentives instead of fixing brand trust, product clarity, and customer experience. You can’t incentivize your way out of weak fundamentals. All this does is delay the inevitable while cutting the very people who might have known how to fix it.
Environment has come to the point that you don’t know how much longer you will have employment from day to day. Too Bad, Used to be a Solid company, No more
They are also cracking down hard on performance management and trying to do lots of exits via that route. Also, they are pushing really hard on having the employee ‘voluntary separate’ the moment they go on their first PIP. That route only gives 1 week paid notice and you are separated from Sunrun. I don’t believe you are eligible for unemployment with that option as well.
Its insane how Sunrun has not file for foreclosure or go out of business yet. Company has more lives than a cat!
