In all cases, lives are about to be upended, and dreams destroyed. If you are saddened and outraged, please contact your elected officials.

In this household, our worst case scenario would mean the end of my husband's 27 years with NPS. A slightly less awful scenario (for us) would mean the firing of many of his hardworking employees and/or many of the higher ups in the regional or Washington offices.

Nobody has any idea how many hard working folks are going to lose their jobs or when to expect those cuts, but the assumption is that the firings will be imminent, as the decisions were already made back in April/May.

Nooooooo! That makes me so sad.

What polite bullying.

Such good news!

I won’t tell you how it ends. lol.

I assure you, these employees already communicate very regularly with their supervisors about exactly what they are working on. This is harassment and intimidation. Are you aware that they are having to cite which piece of federal legislation each of their bullet points directly supports?

And in case you aren’t aware, employees have to cite which Federal laws their bullet points (work) are directly supporting.
