Tampa, Florida-based FieldCore Service Solutions, a subsidiary of General Electric that provides field operations staffing, mainly to the power industry, has announced that it shutting down operations in Wilmington, North Carolina. The shut down will impact 261 employees who mostly work from home and travel to remote work assignments as directed.
A company spokesman noted that the layoff was not associated with the recent COVID-19 pandemic and "FieldCore is closing its nuclear field service operation because its customer, GEH [General Electric Hitachi], has elected to use another vendor for the provision of field services. GEH has made a strategic business decision to consolidate the majority of outage and inspection services work under one primary vendor, Houston, Texas-based Sonic Systems beginning in June 2020."
GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy is a joint venture between General Electric and Hitachi that provides advanced nuclear reactor technology and services to the nuclear industry.
Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
