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.
Oh no!
You matter, you help people understand climate and more. Sadly, climate is not what the current government wants discussed. So, people are sacked for this & other reasons that contradict the current president's idea of how the world should be.
So much is being written on the current situation, but personal stories are the ones we need to keep us resisting and fighting.
You lost your dream job.
You may get it back, and in the mean time know people are working to turn the tide.
