There isn't any plan other than getting into a different line of work. Which is also giving them what they want.
Instead they sit and wait and hope that they'll still have a job tomorrow. And hating themselves for wanting that.
- mmooss 2y ago> There isn't any plan ... You will see this pattern these days - people insisting they are helpless, as if that's valid belief or behavior or communication. I don't know how it became normalized, but it's false, and it's highly irresponsible. You need courage, planning, preparation, and leadership.

- mmooss 2y ago> They do have plans. I don't know that they do, and I see no indication that they do. Uncertainty and confusion are very different things. The article talks about confusion, not plans (thought I might have skimmed past that) and adjustments. Experienced NIH personnel should know exactly what is possible, what possible counter-measures are, and have prepared and prepared others for them. They should be organized and prepared.
