USDA ARS NEA BARC MDR letters - a RIF in MDR clothing
Well once again the wrath of HQ and Uncle Joe Rich have screwed the NEA folks. We were told/sold and assured that these MDR assignments would match our commodity group and belong to a unit that did our type of research. What we are discovering is that a conservative 60% of us are being asked to move to units that DO NOT match our expertise, commodity and research capabilities. And on top of that we have 90 days to get there. Example - one person indicated that they have a animal project moving to a plant lab, one person that works on coffee will be shipped to Miss, and yet another that works on leafy greens will be sent to Washington state to a fruit lab. Sound fishy? Cause it is! This is a cluster fuck of epic proportions and is NOT what we were told. I am not sure how these people sleep at night, but they must have sold their souls and take good drugs.
