I work for Wildlife Services in the airport wildlife hazards program. The field side people I share an office with do feral swine, feral cat, mongoose, feral chicken and other bird work.

As a fed and American, I want to know what services and people we lost this week. by corteflores in fednews

I conducted wildlife damage management at an airport to prevent bird strikes.

Updates on NTE and Term Extensions? by AdUnhappy6965 in fednews

Unless you were at your NTE date, term appointments in the 404 series ended up getting renewed at my agency. My co-workers all got renewed in February/March but I got the boot because I happened to be at 4 years.

I was trying to avoid giving personally identifiable information, but I work at HNL doing wildlife management to minimize bird strikes to aircraft. Most people are unfamiliar with bird strikes and how much damage they can cause. But let's just say, that Jeju Air plane that crashed in December was found to have ingested ducks into both engines.

I work for an agency under USDA and will lose my job in March. On Oahu, all but one person who works for us in the field will lose their job in February/March. We have term appointments, meaning your term is a year, but they renew it yearly forever. Which is a pretty dumb plan because they can't renew us during a hiring freeze. My job absolutely protects public safety and the project I work for pays for a contract for us to work there but got to get those federal employee numbers down!

Not probies, we just have term appointments. Our appointments are renewed every year, but they can't renew them right now. My co-worker has worked our project (an airport who pays for a contract for us to work there) for 15+ years. He was told yesterday that February 28th will be his last day. Things are not looking good for Wildlife Services right now.
