Hope people don’t harass the workers — they are not the problem. There needs to be more organization from the top
-
Bet they still know how to get them bills out and autopays drafted in a timely manner with no delay.
-
I see no trucks in my neighborhood at all no work getting done still no power
-
It’s funny how the VP is wearing a long sleeve and an undershirt, when it’s 100 plus heat. Dude is out of touch. His office must be freezing
-
They sit in the parking lot while my company makes me sweat in a shop with no electricity waiting for it to get turned on. Working 16 hours? But the first 6 is sitting idle? Poor management.
-
It’s still not enough. 12k workers for a city alone that is over 600 square miles!? Someone up top needs to be fired, major incompetence. CENTERPOINTLESS
-
There needs to be a criminal investigation of Centerpoint after this total failure
-
The BS is strong with this one!
-
Center Pointless has more excuses and no action. State investigation is needed and those in charge fired
-
I drove around for 4 hours today hunting ice and gas. Didn't see not 1 Centerpoint employee, truck on the road or working on anything. This is absolutely ridiculous
-
Sitting in trucks till noon but the construction workers in my new build neighborhood start work at 7am after a hurricane. Seems like they've been directed properly. Tired of Centerpoint and tired of sweating.
-
They got paid 6hr+ for nothing........ not the workers fault.......top and middle rotten/lazy ppl
-
It’s ridiculous, we’ve been lied to, there are hundreds of trucks sitting empty in Pearland and over 3/4 of us still do not have power. It’s a sham
-
To everyone complaining about the workers sitting in the trucks...As a retired lineman, it is not by their choice. It is frustrating to sit there doing nothing while daylight burns. Twice as much work can be accomplished during daylight as can be done at night. Many times I've sat in the truck waiting for a work order to only be given one shortly before it gets dark. Its not fun nor safe working in the dark.
-
Centerpoint been incompetent, why in the F**k do these people still have jobs
-
I get that it’s not the workers fault, but centerpoint really has to be held accountable for the lack of preparation. We shouldn’t have to deal with power outages that last this long. Especially in summer. Stay safe everyone. Please make sure everyone around you is ok including yourself.
-
People continue to wait at home in 90-degree heat while they're sitting in the parking lot doing nothing!! There needs to be accountability at Center Point bc this is awful. It's not the first time this has happened!! Do your job!!
-
I rolled around the area (sw Houston) four times yesterday looking for fuel, and I saw ONE truck with ONE worker trying to knock something off a line with a pole. We are still without power well over a day later. When are these lying criminals going to be held accountable? GET RID OF CENTERPOINT ENERGY RIGHT NOW.
-
12:00 - day is half over. It's almost 100°. Why aren't these guys on site by daylight?
-
I’m not no genius, but shouldn’t this be prepared before the hurricane hit and usually they have this all lined out to do the repairs?
