Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats.
After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.
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.
@ZLabe i am so extremely sorry, for the world, for all of us, but mostly you. I was made redundant too last summer (in UK university meltdown), and i feel it all with you so much and every other person losing their job in these crazy, crazy circumstances. The very best people
