NASA says 20% of workforce to depart space agency

About 20% of the employees at the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration are set to depart the space agency, a NASA spokesperson said on Friday.
Depart is such a passive way to say they're fired
they're using that language to mix the resignees with the firees.
Had a job interview at their Ames facility back in December. It was an interesting opportunity, and it required a LOT of sacrifices in terms of commute and workload, but I could've made it work. Then they tried to pull the "Could we interest you in a contractor position?" switcheroo at the end of the hiring process and I noped the fuck out. The next week, Trump announced he was cutting all contractor jobs and freezing new hires for the agency.
Lmfaoooo
Guess the burnout is real. I couldn't believe how much of a dump the place was honestly. Shit is being held together with duct tape, zip ties, and free veteran labor.
There will be more people resigning and taking the same jobs elsewhere in the world where this mission still means something, and they'll be welcome with open arms.
probably EU if thier stem degrees is useful enough. no way in hell its going to be in a university in us, when funding in general is under attack all the time.
Yeah...they didnt really give them much choice. Either retire, take the forced resignation, or stay and hope they dont RIF you. Its not rocket science whats going on here. They're trying to force everyone into the private sector.
Choosing your billionaire poison is going to be all our only choices in the near future for most jobs.
