Just start by firing every Obama appointee. Rebuild from there.

“career officials within the federal government received letters yesterday informing them that they may be reassigned as early as June 28, the newspaper said. “
For Christ’s sake just fire ‘em.

Love the quote from RedState, which states about what I would have said (though I don't claim to know the ins and outs of personnel in the Dept. of Interior):
Shifting 50 general-officer-equivalents is not a small undertaking. It represents an intention to totally demolish the existing power structure. By separating these long serving SES officials from the organizations they have run for perhaps decades means that there will be a lot less resistance to reorganization. Many of these people will resign rather than accept the reassignment. That is a feature, not a bug. By making this move before he has his own appointees in place, Zinke is signaling to the agency and to Senate Democrats that he will not be deterred by intransigence.

What I read here is a rearranging of the bureaucrats at the top.
I see no firings, removals or changes in policy which is what a lot of folks out West and some of us beyond would like to see.
Zimke is reassigning, not firing people.

Transfer known liberals who will fight back on the changes to tiny hell holes in the far north (where it gets blistering cold 6 months out of the year). Just an idea... =:-)

He seems to be the one Trump appointee who is taking our advice and transferring people out of their ivory towers. Hopefully many will resign or retire rather than move.

Exactly! It really is that simple. Now if they’d just do it.
To: Nextrush
It is almost impossible to fire a bureaucrat, you just have to make them so miserable that they quit on their own.

This approach needs to happen in every every agency.

Suspend them due to National Security.

Ok. Would you share the national security justification with us?

Hopefully a bunch of the bastards will quit rather than move near the VAST federal landholdings in the western deserts.
From DC to Parumpf? The ‘ol lady won’t stand for it!
