Yes, let's outsource all those jobs at the New York offices to the other three "UN headquarters" sites in Geneva, Vienna, and Nairobi. I vote to send them all to Nairobi.

The United Nations in Vienna

Along with New York, Geneva and Nairobi, Vienna is one of the four headquarters of the United Nations. The Vienna International Centre (VIC), commonly known as "UNO City", was designed by Austrian architect Johann Staber. Opened on 23 August 1979, it has been rented to the United Nations for 99 years at a symbolic rate of 1 Austrian schilling (7 cents) annually.

More than 4,000 employees from over a 100 countries work for the Vienna-based organizations. About a third of them are Austrians. Some €22 million in annual operations costs are borne by the Organizations themselves. The VIC also pumps about €360 million annually into the Austrian economy in the form of administrative expenses, the purchase of office equipment and supplies, and spending by staff and conference delegates.
