Having read the article it seems like the new budget cuts costs by having people work remotely instead of having an expensive office in Manhattan. I understand why employees would complain about that but the article is blowing this way out of proportion

Are you an actual bot? 4-month-old account, 0 karma, and that's not even what the article was about.

NASA Goddard is being illegally dismantled during the shutdown. The events/timeline is shown and the full emails sent to Goddard employees are provided. Don't dismiss this as people complaining about a WFH policy--the buildings are being demolished.

I mean their name is a bit on the nose.

No buildings are being demolished. The email is just a reminder of existing early retirement programs. I oppose cutting deep space missions but this article does a very poor job of explaining how those are being cut if they in fact are.
