Honestly, Dems, I value the party platform of support for working families, protecting public lands, fighting for women's rights, and more. But I am TIRED of the lack of leadership, uncoordinated efforts, and demure push-backs. I want MORE Al Greens, not less.

So.
It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year.
I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

Pushing back against the dangerous consolidation of power in the executive branch; fighting the patriarchy and dismantling of equity and inclusion efforts - while caring for a loved one with dementia who is also losing the use of their legs, and thus suffering major depression, is exhausting.

Old friend just laid off by USDA, 1 mos short of his probationary period as senior researcher. Brilliant person who left a tenured faculty position several yrs ago to join USDA. Bright early-career researchers also being laid off. USDA is terminating a generation of highly-qualified scientists.

Another damaging firing of a young scientist. Dr. Darling, an MSU Entomology alum, was working to rear parasitoids to control emerald ash borer and other devastating pests of forests and farms. There is no private sector equivalent doing this work, and this loss means less control for these pests l.

Stopped by to pass this along. They were expecting 10% for the folk but it's looking like 1-2%. Normal attrition is around 6% at the transition w/quitting/retirement. So had they done NOTHING they likely would have done better. Also, it should cost about $1 billion to pay the 1-2% for those 7 mths.
