The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has lost more than half of its Washington-based employees who were slated to move out West as the agency pushes ahead with a controversial plan to relocate staff.
New internal numbers from the Interior Department obtained by The Hill show 69 employees have left the agency rather than accept the new assignment. Another 18 left after the plans were announced but before they could be reassigned.
Those 87 employees outnumber the 80 who have agreed to the move.
The figures are at odds with the ones referenced in December by acting BLM Director William Perry Pendley, who said in an email that roughly two-thirds of staffers had agreed to move.
“This is a huge brain drain,” said Steve Ellis, who retired from BLM’s top career-level post in 2018. “There is a lot of really solid expertise walking out the door.”
The Interior Department, which oversees BLM, did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Cut out the old dead wood and never Trumpers and hire bright eager new staff from middle America.
Mission Accomplished
Winning! Hugely!
Open up the land to homesteading for citizens only.
Now these are folks who chose to stay in the cess pit.
So, we know all we need to know about their character and trustability.
Oh welll, t*rds need swamp water to float.
Good riddance.
Hire out west where folks actually know things about land management.
Gee that’s a shame.
Glancing at the headline, I thought it was a Black Lives Matter story. :-/ But I’m glad that some Swamp draining appears to be happening in that extra-constitutional agency.
Excellent news.
Good riddance. There will be fresh Western blood in this crooked agency, positions filled with those with deep love of the land and the rugged people who have lived there for generations.
I’d prefer a period after the word “Trumpers”.
“This is a huge brain drain,” said Steve Ellis, who retired from BLM’s top career-level post in 2018. “There is a lot of really solid expertise walking out the door.”
Thank you for your concern. I’m confident we’ll be able to rebuild after this devastating loss. /s
Understandable.
People have families and friends.
But, it should weed out a few swamp creatures.
See ya. Learn to code.
These are civil service people. Do they have a right to preferential transfer to other agencies?
Greatest. Idea, Ever.
and the problem is???
Now do the State Department.
