Are layoffs really happening or are the knuckleheads simply riling up people? Can someone sane in management confirm?
Hiring freeze and sales of assets are underway. AES 2nd Qtr 2025 Financial Review Conference Call to be Held on Friday, August 1, 2025 at 10:00 a.m. Audit for form 10-K and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC will take place over the next few days. If the projections from this last spring stay true then expect layoffs to be announced/begin the week of July 28th. It would be a safe assumption there would be no severance this iteration. Godspeed.
To the “leaders” of aes very nice job destroying the company.
aes is trash. GL finding a job after your layoff. Do the entire industry a favor and disappear from RE+. No one wants to see your trash company's obnoxious displays any longer. The only IPP to be so ignorant. That was a dead give away on what a burning pile of trash aes truly is. I heard McDonalds is hiring.
This thread does not represent the majority of hard-working, diligent, and compassionate employees at AES. They work hard to make a positive difference.
No, it’s the trash who post on here. Many were laid off due to being subpar employees , others are just sh-t stirring like usual.
aes is such a pile of trash, just reading these posts
He doesn’t know sh-t. Same id--ts spewing nonsense..
After reading these posts, I can tell you that if an AES resume ever crosses my desk, I will definitely be round filing it. That is a certainty.
@136f If you know layoffs are coming, provide some context of timing, impacted orgs or teams, etc.
Just a heads up — the next round of layoffs is getting closer, and it’s starting to feel like Squid Game: green light, red light... You don’t want to be the one getting tapped when the music stops
You mean to tell me that we had a person with only a high school diploma running the company. No wonder we are being sold off. What about those leadership emails again KennyZZZPPP. The last place on earth to get advice on leadership is AES.
Hahahha. I love some of these posts.
To any potential buyer of AES: just wait until they become insolvent. You’ll get it for a much better price than what they’re pretending it’s worth! They’re not worth anything beyond a handful of assets. Good luck to the innocent employees there. Hopefully you get to keep your jobs.
Very funny reading these posts. Yeah, start your job search at Walmart because that’s the only place you will find a job if you have been doing nothing but wind or solar for the last decade. Truly funny. Brush up those resumes.
I'd recommend everyone at AES expedite their search. But good luck, the market is rough right now
There have been rumors about Duke buying or taking over the AES Indiana utility since the beginning of the year. Haven’t heard anything regarding Ohio. Given the recent articles about a potential AES sale, does anyone know if this rumor of a Duke takeover to be true? My team would be redundant if merged with another utility in the area. I’m already job searching since this place has become a dumpster fire of chaos, but wondering if I should expedite the search.
AES will be ripped apart by the PE firms. Fantastic. Let the asset sales begin. To those who thought AES was so great to work at take a look at your "leaders" and that should tell you everything you should have known. Keep working though because after your layoff you won't find another job. That is particularly satisfying given AES's horrible reputation on the street.
Looks like AES is likely going to be sold. Sad day
Company culture has changed so much. The new year and all the stressors from layoffs to doubling and tripling work have made it so difficult to want to remain. Mix in pricks like some of the VPs in Renewables and EBITDA or whatever and you have a recipe for one horrid work environment.
With the Q2 financial results call happening on August 1st, do we think there will be more layoffs by the end of the month?
Is the Louisville office downsizing/closing yet? Are they still pushing in office collaboration?
What a clown show AES has become. We are just waiting for them to start selling assets. Industry wide they are known as a revolving door. Word on the street is get a contract with AES and they just spend money. Most disorganized group ever.
Office morale is definitely low right now with the recent layoffs—which were largely driven by stock price pressures, not sure if there be more layoffs as stock price is at all time low and does not seem to improve anytime soon :(
Atleast one chicken little is back .
How many more rounds of layoffs before chapter 11? The office morale is at all time lows. Everyone who isn’t on a L1 visa is secretly job hunting. They boast the culture of all together while people are fleeing behind the scenes. Good luck to the folks who aren’t responsible for the decision making in this company. Hope you all find jobs in companies that make sensible business decisions.
aes is the next NOVA
aes with the colorful logo a true leader in layoffs, misappropriation of funds, corruption, money losing acquisitions, incompetence, ongoing technical failures, never ending hair brain ideas from newly minted MBAs that put the company into spiraling debt. Yes, this is the real aes.
The sky is falling crowd is quite comical.
Sub 9 will be the next milestone for AES
It's probably too late but AES should have taken a page out of the playbook of SMR and OKLO - both of which are in the nuclear space that AES, for some reason, has not pursued, in favor of wind energy. Well, in my time there I, on one occasion, drew criticism when I advocated for at least a conversation on nuclear and even had someone whisper "it takes 35 years to build a plant and get it operational, start to finish." No it doesn't and that is patently false. Now? AES stock price is sub $10 and, well, the competition seems to be doing much better. But yeah, it definitely was the "undesirables" who caused it.
There are some really weird people in these comments. There are some reallly good therapists out there that can help with the resentment and frustration
I’m a non-thermal snowflake and just melting under the pressure. Don’t be so mean to me.
Thank you Trump for putting an end to the Denver, CO operations. Thermal has always been the true stalwart of AES. Can we get the logo changed now that the weirdos in Denver, CO will be marched out the door as none of their hair brained ideas work without tax credits. Bet that is the end of New York and Arizona circa APS. How much was lost on those hair brained renewable energy dreams and schemes.
52 week low archived :]
Stock is down 9%, definitely was the "undesirables" bringing it down... ha
Such a load of crock AES for being intentionally vague with investors about nuclear while pushing out every single person who advocated for it internally. Own up to your f-ups. You invested billions into several projects that were dead on arrival. Not because they made sense financially, but because they could raise the stock price. Guess what? They failed miserably. This mountain of debt is snowballing out of control. BBB- investor rating. Any lower and nobody will give you money. Nice one, executive team. One id--tic decision after another
They're bragging about stock being up 5% in a day, while it's down 45% YoY. Let that sink in.
Correct. Hopefully hiring competent ones to replace the undesirables that were fired
"they are filling positions now that were left open from them."
You need a brain check-up
