Layoffs begin

Just got a call from my best friend, my office back home just announced theyare laying off 35 engineers today!!! That's about 2/3's of the office. Guess I'm safe on my field assignment but have no idea what that leaves me for when I get back in 7 months. And my 2 best friends work there so waiting to hear their fate. Suck

That sucks Ryan, Watts Bar Unit 2 is hiring engineers. You can come hideout with me at Mother Nuke. I will never leave the warm breasts of mother nuke, it's so safe and warm here.

All kinds, just look on tva.gov careers page. Look for spring city listings, we are building the first new nuke reactor to come online since we did it last in the 90's. Bechtel the contractor for the project is also hiring a ton. I think they are bechtel.com, but that is a contractor position so it's not permanent.
