Natural Resources is planning to reduce it’s workforce.
Company
officials announced Thursday that they plan to eliminate around 230 positions
throughout the organization in an effort to reduce costs.
The
plan involves further reducing operating and support expenses by at least $200
million in 2014 and beyond. It’s part of an ongoing effort by the
company to better align it’s overhead and corporate support with its
reduced operational footprint.

filled. Most of the positions that will be impacted are salaried.
The details on exactly what
positions are being cut have not been released.
