NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory has ordered over 1,000 telework employees to return to onsite work, impacting those who had been remote since the pandemic. Effective dates for this mandate differ based on California residency. The decision arises amid budget issues facing NASA, with a potential 25% funding cut looming. Previous layoffs at JPL highlighted ongoing financial strains. Employees now face either returning to the workplace or losing their jobs without severance, raising concerns about the future of key space programs.
It's clear that it's a silent layoff of the over 1,000 remote employees who they don't want to pay severance to.
Employees who do not return by their required date will be considered to have resigned.
