She is a Marine Biologist who studies dead marine animals and how they died and if that death has factors of climate involved, and its then charted in a year over year data base.  She said the DOGE crew came in un-announced and fired about a 1/3 of her department.  She kept her job but said it seemed completely random the people picked.  She said the was a team where they firea all the management and kept the lesser staff with no direction as to who they report to or what they do now.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nI agree that there is probably a need to get our government staffing in check with reality and layoffs probably need to happen...but like others said the delivery and methodology is terrible and seems random at best."]], "columns": ["post_id", "thread_id", "thread_title", "post_number", "author_username", "post_date", "post_date_iso", "post_body"], "primary_keys": ["post_id"], "primary_key_values": ["340571"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.5494999986694893, "license": "Public Domain"}
