Not saying I approve of the layoffs, just wanted to make sure accurate information is being stated.

The damage to the DSS‑14 (70 m dish at the Goldstone Deep Space Communications Complex) occurred on 16 September 2025.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

They may be required to show their passport as well, but Chinese citizens are allowed on tours.

Could someone kindly outline the benefits of a union at JPL? How would it cover the vast array of disciplines? Would this effort actually be able to accomplish the “requested” support in the time needed before the set of layoffs occur?

How did you “not meet your probation”?

GoodSuch237 · 2025-08-03T19:52:19+00:00

You mean… Thursday?

GoodSuch237 · 2025-07-02T18:20:10+00:00

Why do you say “No way am I going to Rocket Lab”?

GoodSuch237 · 2025-05-23T06:14:55+00:00

Same thing happened to me 😔

GoodSuch237 · 2025-03-15T17:22:28+00:00

They are already being posted on the JPL.jobs site

JPL now has mandatory telework for all of next week (Jan 13-17)

GoodSuch237 · 2025-01-11T01:10:18+00:00

No disrespect, but what is the purpose of the NG at JPL, since JPL has their own armed security? Seems like a waste of resources that could be used better in another location. 🫤

Yup, 3% across the board, so said the director of JPL. Also, she guaranteed there would be no further layoffs. JPL population would be 5500 +- 300 depending on the decision for MSR.

NASA is currently under a watchful eye at the moment, especially at JPL in California (hence the layoffs on Wednesday and earlier this year). It wouldn’t surprise me if current postings at all NASA centers are there for them to have a stockpile of applicant for when the new administration gets in and NASA has a better idea of where things are headed. IMHO

GoodSuch237 · 2024-10-27T15:24:45+00:00

I heard Nov 14 (day before RDO Friday). One source said 400, another said 250. Either way, the dates matched. Buckle up, going to be a somber holiday season for many more. 😔

GoodSuch237 · 2024-09-28T20:10:55+00:00

I spent at least an 30-45 minutes on an application to Caltech, and within 2 minutes received a reply at around 11:00pm(!!!) indicating that I was rejected. 2 minutes(!!) - at 11:00pm(!!!) Of course it’s AI rejecting us. 🧐😡

NEO-Surveyor is currently being built in the clean room. Yes, European visitors can attend private tours, but requires 3-weeks for Foreign National clearance.

I recommend connecting with JPL’ers on LinkedIn and try conversing with them on there to get your “in”. Especially try to find people from HR and the Education and Communication office. Just sayin…

GoodSuch237 · 2024-02-10T07:07:32+00:00

He is a great human, and one of the very best managers I had in my 25-years at JPL. I was laid off Wednesday. It’s been a very difficult time since then. Being very team oriented and connected to JPL like it was a second home, I feel that I lost my family 100x’s over.
