Baker Hughes sent a letter of notice to Dickinson Mayor Dennis Johnson on Wednesday, stating it was permanently terminating 117 employees here — most of them field operators and specialists. Baker Hughes cut 71 field operators and 23 field specialists, engineers and coordinators. The letter also listed the termination of 10 mechanics, as well as administrative staff, warehouse workers and lab technicians, and one person each in a management, sales, dispatching and inventory. Melanie Kania, a media relations specialist for Baker Hughes, said Dickinson isn’t the only area where the company is making cuts. Expect more major layoff in other districts.
