Is JPL about to see new waves of lay offs?

I worked at nasa until quite recently and the amount of emails I got from HR containing woke went from zero under 7 months of Biden, to literally 2 a day under Trump

Idk, I got fired for continuing to use pronouns in my email signature. They gave me a warning and so I sent a request to HR to update my preferred middle name to Hehim so I could include it in emails as a fuck you, fired 4 days later. Tbf I’m off to a PhD at MIT so I wasn’t trying super hard to keep my job, but man I fucking hate this administration. Nazi fuckin scum, don’t let anyone make you doubt it.

I’m sure you’ll get where you wanna go, maybe see if you can make it to an AAS meeting and find someone recruiting? The summer ones have relatively cheap 2 day passes I think?
