Bonnie Green, a 60-year-old psychology professor at East Stroudsburg University and former National Science Foundation (NSF) employee, was shocked to learn of her termination through text messages from colleagues. Green, who had been with the NSF since 2020, received an email notifying her that her position was ending while she was in the middle of administering an exam. She scrambled to save important files before her access to the system was revoked and expressed her disappointment in the lack of a proper warning or explanation for her termination.
Green, who describes herself as politically conservative and fiscally prudent, believes that taxpayer dollars should not be wasted and that there is waste in the federal government that needs to be addressed. She feels that the cuts that led to her termination were unnecessary and done without reason. Despite many of her friends voting for Trump, Green believes that they did not anticipate the negative impacts of such decisions on employees like her.
Green’s experience sheds light on the abrupt and impersonal nature of job terminations, especially in government agencies like the NSF. Her story also highlights the impact of political decisions on individual employees and the importance of transparency and respect in the workplace. Despite her disappointment, Green remains determined to advocate for fiscal responsibility and fair treatment for all employees in similar situations.
