Had a job interview at their Ames facility back in December. It was an interesting opportunity, and it required a LOT of sacrifices in terms of commute and workload, but I could've made it work. Then they tried to pull the "Could we interest you in a contractor position?" switcheroo at the end of the hiring process and I noped the fuck out. The next week, Trump announced he was cutting all contractor jobs and freezing new hires for the agency.
Lmfaoooo
Guess the burnout is real. I couldn't believe how much of a dump the place was honestly. Shit is being held together with duct tape, zip ties, and free veteran labor.
And the DOGE boys will see that and use it as evidence they deserve even less, ratger than seeing that's what things have been reduced to due to budget cuts.
Are you questioning the wisdom of Big Balls?
