Exempt professional - Exempt Professional Southern Company Employee Review

Company has been downsizing over the last 2 years in Georgia Power's operating company and a few other subsidiaries have been sold off - mostly to achieve bottom line results and following a third party consulting firm's advice. Acquiring ATL Gas and Light was a smart decision as they are a "lean, mean, money- making machine" for the organization. However, many long term employees across the company have been laid off with no "up-training" to enhance their skills and stay on board to be productive employees. Also, minimal to no transfer of knowledge to those left to pick up their work. While operations is closing payment offices across the state, corporate departments are "re-organizing" their entire group as a way to release some long term employees and replace them with outside hires or pass the work to those who are left (reducing headcount). It's just not the same company (loyalty) that existed over 10 years ago.
