Imagine dismantling:

1) The world leader in weather forecasting and warnings
2) The most favorable government agency among Americans
3) The best return on investment (ROI) - even understaffed/underfunded
4) An agency whose mission is to protect lives and property

Because that is what’s happening
National Weather Service employees were encouraged to take early retirements at an all-hands meeting Thursday. The union believes as many as 1,000 could leave in the coming months - out of a workforce of just over 4,000.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.
