All these hirings were part of Democrats’ plan to control the narrative of “climate change” along with ensuring Democrat seizure of power by growing a monstrous government awash in government perks while the general private sector population could afford to own little to nothing and wouldn’t have the political power to do anything about it.

To put it in the vernacular of the weather forecasters, turns out your job was a: maybe, perhaps, chance of.

Besides, you can always take up mining, or learning to code. I also hear that Billy Bob Thornton is hiring out in the oil fields

Real story,
I was at the Seattle Boat show ( owned a large sailboat at the time)
I stopped by the NOAA weather booth.
I asked is it true you have to be diagnosed as a Pathological liar to be a weather forecaster?
Dead silence, My wife slapped me.
In all my many years of sailing Puget Sound , Juan DeFuca, and Georgia straights area I never got a reliable weather forecast.

Billions of bucks on satellites, equipment, planes, offices, salaries, etc., and they can’t predict the next day’s weather accurately. How many times have I seen the radar conflict with what the so-called weather forecaster is predicting? How many weekends predicted to be sunny on Thursday, so you start making plans, then on Friday it all goes to hell. What a waste. We are still in a draught in Jersey. How many times did they predict rain, and it didn’t? Several.

Article says "probationary." Which means relatively recent hires. Which means they were hired by Biden's supercharged DEI criteria. Which means they're worthless.

So, what's the problem?

Again, NOAA has over 11,000 employees. Firing 600 doesn’t do much. They should have kept 600 and fired 10,400.
