  • They basically fired bunch of people saying that “your work does not align with current agency priorities” then open the same position with much much lower salary. Of course they are struggling to fill positions. The worst thing about this is once they gutted enough core functions, people will complain that the service is shitty (e.g., social security, medicaid, VA service), then the agency public approval will go down and we will get gutted even more - creating a vicious circle. As it stands currently the National Weather Service (NWS) which is under NOAA is the fed agency with 2nd highest national approval rating, we are only losing to the National Forest Service which is equally beloved by Republicans and Dems.
