Southern California Edison reviews

I have no faith in Edison ' s management, they are doing layoffs again while giving themselves high fives and increasing their bonuses. They justify the layoffs by saying they are necessary for the longevity of the company and to keep our rate base (costs) low however, the money that we save on O&M is put toward more costly projects that we earn a higher return on. It's hard for me to be on board with this because 1.) We are betraying our ratepayers and driving business out of California 2. ) those of us that are left have to pick up the slack and will be the ones who get blamed when the current management leaves 3.)management is going after our benefits while increasing theirs. This is Corporate greed at its finest and a typical pump and dump strategy that is unsustainable.

I have just watch another large blood bath of layoffs in a faction of the finance department. Employees with advanced degrees and thirty plus years of service were let go. Some employees with no degrees and thirty plus years of service who I saw come in on the weekends and holidays ( No overtime pay)were kicked to the curb. SCE is bringing in workers from India but the new employees are at a higher educational level and skill set but get less money. Of course SCE does not have to pay the new people benefits and retirement so more money in the pockets of the overpaid CEO and board members . I was told that some employment Attorneys are licking their chops to get involved in some of the breaches in the lay off procedures . It seems that some of the laid off employees are getting cheated out of some money that they are due ! The apparent rational for this latest round of layoffs is that SCE looked at other utilities as a bench mark to dictate how to run the company without looking to what was already on the property as far as talent and dedication was concerned.
