NOAA workers report 'intentional chaos' during personnel cuts
Some of the former government employees who were fired, rehired and fired again said they're owed pay and their health plans have been frozen.

Here's a small window into what's actually going on for our situation... 😩
About 650 NOAA staff were illegally terminated last February, then two courts ordered them reinstated.
Last week, many newly rehired NOAA staff were notified via a short letter that the agency “is reverting [their] termination action to its original effective date.”

Every time I check my phone or simply refresh my social media feed, someone is sharing about an educational program or critical scientific research effort that is being cut.
It’s infuriating and so upsetting. We need to continue making people and communities aware of what is happening.

🧵 I'd like to share some of the recent and ongoing collaborative projects I’m most proud of from my time at NOAA. Some will continue on in one form or another, but others will not - a direct result of the cuts hitting science across the board.

Is climate science threatened as US slashes jobs, funding? – DW – 03/07/2025
Since reentering the White House, US president Donald Trump has made sweeping cuts to key scientific institutions. What could it mean for the rest of the world and efforts to combat climate change?

The reasons I was given:
-> I did not demonstrate that my work was in the public interest, and my ability, knowledge and/or skills did not match NOAA's needs.
More soon. It will be okay.
