Charles Jansen , now 66 , is the kind of guy who figures out how to get things done, often under pressure.

He was fired, without warning or much of an explanation, on March 18, 2020 .

"My credibility disappeared,” he said, “right for that one little thing” Jansen had retired from the military and was considering a second career in HR .

City Hall gave no details about Jansen ’s departure.

Jansen says he was fired at the height of the COVID crisis.

The bad press dogged him on the job hunt and pushed him “over the deep edge” Jansen wound up solving the hard problems again, this time with the federal government.
