BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) – FirstEnergy Corporation plans to eliminate “less than 3%” of their workforce after recent evaluation.
The company confirmed the cuts when contacted by 5 News, stating that they will “eliminate certain roles while expanding others to ensure the company is structured to operate efficiently and meet challenges and opportunities now and in the future”.
A FirstEnergy spokesperson said that the reduction will affect workers across their operating territory, which includes five states (Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Jersey, New York).
They also say that there will be minimal impact to their front line employees, and do not expect the changes to impact their ability to maintain the electric system.
