Lastly, CDT is good about reasonable accommodations and disability - it's an initiative driven from the top and with large-scale support. I learned *today* that people who request a reasonable accommodation, even during the hiring process, can and *have* received exemptions to the hybrid work […]

A few notes - I've seen this team do a lot of work driven both at the top and bottom to improve whatever the current state of a project is. I think the team is collaborative, and the other team members are great - I've really enjoyed everyone I've worked with on that team.

You'd also quite […]

Finally, the people who are out of a job aren't just out of a job - they're out of an industry. Their whole industry disappeared overnight - USAID was *the* primary funder for a huge number of companies. All the people who worked for their companies just lost their employers and their […]

Adding a bit more because I'm angry. This isn't a transition that was unavoidable. Trump has the votes in Congress to get changes made. He doesn't want to do that. He wants to make whatever changes and the harm that's created (instead of working to avoid it) is part of his plan. That's fascist […]
