Keith’s note: This is the internal RIF planning chart circulating within NASA the Human Health and Performance Contract community. It specifically relates to contractor employees – but it mirrors plans being developed in other parts of the agency. Note that this is being explicitly done via “NASA Directive: Offices, Programs, and Projects to align with the FY26 Presidential Budget Request of $18.8B” – and not due to any budget agreed […] The post Insight Into NASA’s Contractor R...| Personnel News Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: I posted a picture the other day. It was sent to me by 3 people with no known/cited source. So I cropped it and put NASAWatch.com on it so there’d be some traceability and show that it was not A.I. generated. I thought it was rather poignant – as have thousands of people who have seen it.

This is all being done according to the President’s Budget Request (PBR) for FY 2026 – even […] The post NASA Contractor Layoff Update appeared fi...| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch

Keith’s note: I don’t want to freak people out, but there is a question that has been troubling me. A lot of media focus has been on departing NASA civil servants (which sucks) but there may be massive contractor employee layoffs as well (which equally sucks). If things stay on the path that they seem to be on something needs to break soon. The post Heads Up Contractor Employees: WARN Act appeared first on NASA Watch.| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch
Keith’s note: This memo was just sent out to NASA SMD employees (and others). It opens with “To ensure the continued safety of our workforce and compliance with security measures, the NASA Headquarters Protective Services Office will be reinstating random searches and inspections of individuals, belongings, and vehicles…” A day or so after NASA scared 4,000+ civil servants out of their jobs (and the contractor count is still TBD), the […] The post Random Employee Searches To Resume ...| TrumpSpace Archives - NASA Watch
