What will ultimately save us is that those carrying out the coup are so terribly bad at it.
I realize some folks think all the backtracking is just misdirection and I'd be tempted to believe that if I thought for a minute the Trump/Musk ego could live with being strategically made to look wrong.
All this for a month of their salary. Now they have to play catchup from that month. Assuming they do that and work overtime to do it, they will have got the same amount of work done in 2/3 of the time, but cost US WHO PAY INTO IT WITH TAXES twice as much do it. Efficiency folks!
Great that they get paid for the time they should have been working, but my point was that the *time* is something you cannot 'pay back'. These workers now have to now spend time, get paid overtime potentially, just to get back to where they should have been in the first place, 2 months from now!
Note that the OMB-ordered reductions in force are still very much on the table for NSF, with a deadline on March 13. Unclear what the exact numbers would be, but numbers as high as 50% have been suggested by NSF union officers.
Wait! Isn’t this DEI to selectively reinstate (without threat of court order) protected classes of employees? Isn’t this “Woke” ? What alternate reality is this?

*Real people are hurt by doge so it’s much more than a stunt to own the libs.
You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.
