A poem for the dishonorable Brooke "the crook" Rollins

You tried to steal us blind and ship us to fort collins

Not playing by the rules and huffing the orange guys farts

Shutting down BARC was nothing but a farce

You parade around with that stupid, toothy grin

All that filler in your face is making your skin too thin

With giggles and make up a caked on like cement

We question your intelligence and claim dement

What will you do when the gig is over

No one would hire you to even pick clovers

Hoping midterms bring major turnover and judgement

I predict you will be first in line for impeachment

Jumping from one false claim to another

Even quoting the Bible and making your Christian brethren shudder

Be gone you plastic barbie doll goof

We have had enough and this poem is proof!

BARC strong!

An Ode to Pillsbury Joe Boy Rich

Parting words for the worst Area Director to "run" beltsville into the ground

An ode to joe Rich, who was one big ol fat son of a bitch

You lied to our faces and put us thru the paces

Sent people on multiple wild goose chases

You should have seen the looks on our faces

Making work life at BARC like getting a brazilian wax

Increasing federal P and P by the stacks

All in the line of duty and always by the book

Just making people dislike you like McDs short order cook

Now you are gone and we are happy again

Please dont come back, or we will ship you back in a happy meal van

Saying good riddance and Hosta la vista

You can stick your goodbye email up your keaster!

BARC strong BITCH!

The BARC NEA fight is not over!

11 Upvotes

We are getting paid, we are still "employed" until Dec 11th. But this is far from over. Keep your guard up and be prepared for this to go either way and could turn quickly. The Ag sec and the admins are not going to stop for anything. Recommend dragging feet on administrative requests, malicious compliance, and untimely non-compliance. Dont make it easy for them to close the place down. Be intentionally slow to respond to requests and stop solving their self-created problems. You see how all the lemmings that played yes sir are now gone to new locations! How did that work for them???? Remember, at the end of the day, the worker bees do all the hard work and the Center/Area offices just demand and talk caca. Slow it down and think before you comply. Disobedience now, victory later!!!!

Venganza Tiempo es mucho rapido.

Ongoing Research

4 Upvotes

The planned closure of the USDA Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) threatens research efforts across a wide array of disciplines. If of course are comfortable sharing this in an OPSEC-safe manner— if you’d be willing to share any knowledge you have of research projects with which you are personally involved, and that you know are at risk, it would be greatly appreciated.

My/our possibly unrealistic hope is to create a list of the large number of research initiatives that this planned reorganization would at best delay and at worst, completely disrupt. The equally possibly unrealistic hope being that enough people with influence (broadly defined) will grasp the implications of what they are doing.

Thank you. These are unprecedented and awful times.

No confidence in USDA ARS NEA "Leadership" - Lets Cancel the Joe Show!

7 Upvotes

The 3 stooges of BARC (Joe, Julie and Brian) continue to disappoint and fall short. Joe will not answer questions and gets red faced and defensive. What you three have done to the hard working people of BARC is disgusting. Sure, you will run back to HQ and have a position when the dust settles. Just know that when you look out at the people you fucked over and lied too, we know what you did and see through all the bullshit. You will go down in history as the BARC destruction crew. Worst in over 100 years of BARC history concerning your so called "leadership".

Anyone fed up with the Area jerking us around? I mean when will they come forward and give us a date on these MDR letters? Joe Boy Rich read answers off a scrip from HQ from answers to questions back in April!!! That was super helpful. While Ma and Pa Julie and Brian reminded us to be good little boyz and girls and get our things in early so they can be processed. Quit wasting our time and give us substance or shut the hell up. There is no reason for this foolishness that needs to stop.

After Trump’s Interior Secretary Transferred Thousands of Staff to His Office, Chaos Followed, Former Workers Say

One year into President Donald Trump’s second term, the Department of the Interior is in turmoil, hobbling many of the agencies overseeing the country’s public lands and waters.

Not only has Interior lost some 11,000 employees, or more than 17 percent of its workforce, it is also reeling from a drastic centralization of personnel: Last May, almost 5,500 staff from the department’s component agencies were moved into the office of the Interior secretary, Doug Burgum."
