I figure now’s a good time to bump this thread.
I work for a big nonprofit research organization based in the triangle, but with several offices abroad. We have contracts with CDC, NIH, USAID, and dozens of other governmental organizations/offices.
As you’d imagine, we’re shitting bricks. Projects are on hold or have been discontinued. Layoffs are imminent. I *think* I’m in a good position to not be among the first round—I’m mid-career, have been with the org for a decade, have carved out my own niche. I don’t work directly on USAID projects, though my work on some CDC, HHS, and NIH projects has slowed to a crawl.
I was just informed that some MAGA idiots doxxed a few of my colleagues on X/Twitter. They took screenshots from our website describing some projects having to do with racial justice and lgbtq issues. Posted names and photos of my colleagues with threatening/insulting messages.
Good times.
