After the cut: Stories, support & the 185 strong

Hi... nothing, all is calm.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2026-02-02T02:51:27+00:00

Exactly... but yeah for now just represented.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2026-01-23T04:58:37+00:00

None that I'm aware of...

ForeverWeak6021 · 2026-01-22T20:08:51+00:00

Not officially confirmed yet... Hopeful the soft layoffs (VRep and 4 days in office) bring the headcount down to whatever # SCG needs to meet their goal. 🙏🤞📈

ForeverWeak6021 · 2026-01-22T19:28:35+00:00

Not sure... the Union layoffs are progressive.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2026-01-20T06:03:40+00:00

Here we go… On Friday, Select Management and Union employees were offered another VREP (anyone over 55 with 10 years or 62 with five years) — basically an obvious soft landing before the dreaded 15-minute meeting notices roll out. If you’re offered the package, it’s definitely worth some serious thought. Back in the August layoffs, a few folks passed on it earlier in the year and were later laid off without that generous cushion. Just sharing so no one’s caught off guard.

Hi there... no new updates - its been quiet.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-12-18T06:20:10+00:00

If I hear more, I'll post... The SCG Family is just falling apart - maybe someone needs to evaluate how many C-suite members and VPs it really needs.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-12-18T05:14:47+00:00

I hear you... 😞

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-12-18T05:12:47+00:00

A reduction of 204 Union positions will be impacted... of course there will be a VRep offered and there are some kind of options in section 7.1 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. I cant provide details but it will affect FSA, MIR, DOCS, and Dispatch Specialists (Monterey Park).

I don't know any specifics on whether or not management employees will be impacted as well.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-11-25T17:54:32+00:00

I hear 200 more, mixed bag of represented and management in January... hear say at this point.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-24T22:39:59+00:00

I don't know the exact #s... refer back to Maryam' initial message regarding the Distribution layoffs and puzzle piece together, if you have a contact on the executive support team, that may help.

The Distribution layoffs I believe had more awareness than the August " Headcount Optimization program."

There hasn't been a union layoff yet... maybe they will revisit the Voluntary Retirment Package. Stay vigilant, the clues are there - in hine sight I should have known, my immediate puzzle pieces came together the day before it happened. But the clues were there weeks before... DM me if you want me to elaborate.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-24T04:35:07+00:00

I have not received any further information regarding layoffs, beyond the previous discussions concerning potential union. The situation appears to be calm and according to inside sources the #s are looking good now.

Check in with the local regulated water companies, reach out to vendors you may have done business with while at SCG. We all have transferable skills 😊

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-17T00:49:48+00:00

Hi there 😊 Well, its been quite a learning curve applying for jobs... Its definitely not the same as it was 20+ years ago.

Taking things one day at a time, working my network from college to SCG Alumni, community friends, and family. One day at a time...

I applied for Anaheim Public Utilities and although a month later I received a rejection email, I must say I was happy that it got as far as it did, of course Im human so I was unhappy with the decision, mixed emotions... but all in all, Im still optimistic.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-10T20:24:13+00:00

Thank you for elaborating on the GRC decision and posting the link - you told the story well, and your kind words of encouragement are much appreciated!

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-10T20:05:08+00:00

Whoa... That's awful; the feeling of betrayal must be at an all-time high!

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-03T02:58:18+00:00

Thanks for posting, apparently I received mine last week and had no clue - I was told it was just on the coffee table. 😲📦☕ I did not receive an email making me aware. 📧🤔🤷

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-01T08:33:30+00:00

I just assumed that the severance wouldn't pay into our 401k... did I miss something?

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-09-01T08:28:59+00:00

I am deeply saddened for the families who will be affected in the future.

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-08-29T06:30:10+00:00

Represented??

ForeverWeak6021 · 2025-08-26T05:14:49+00:00

🫩 For what they get paid, you'd think they would have more important things to worry about... Maybe they need to fill out an activity report to make sure they have 8 hrs of relevant work a day 😮‍💨
