Morning all! I've been encouraged by the outpouring of support for all of us in NWS/NOAA. I wanted to specify a detail that I think is relevant from some conversations I've had. Most of us (at least at EMC) who were terminated were officially "probationary" because we are new federal employees, but have been working for NOAA in some capacity (usually on the contract or university side) for 5, 10, 15 years. So we're the group that has the unique combination of early career motivation/drive but also enough expertise to be quickly effective as we are promoted into new roles. This is not the group you'd get rid of if you wanted to make an organization more efficient - it's what you'd do if you want to destroy an organization. I'd like to assume the best and hope that's unintentional. Hopefully the value of what we do can be communicated effectively.
