So. It has officially happened. I have been officially let go from my position at CDC. I wasn’t a probationary employee. I had stellar performance reviews every year. I’ll be ok. But please understand that many worked HARD to get into these positions and were doing great public health work.

1. The Philadelphia Inquirer has 2 journalists - our chief political writer and foreign affairs columnist - in Germany for its critical election. A friend yesterday called us "a regional newspaper" but I'd say we're a historic legacy news org (with 23 Pulitzers)... www.inquirer.com/politics/ger...
