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.

Fire ALL of these pathetic parasitic losers.
Hell yes, the ones who were willing to move are probably all of the ones you want involved in western lands, or at least they’re willing to work.
Now they just need to start this kind of policy for every agency, you do stints all over the place. You meet, greet and live with the people you SERVE.
Now on to all the Ranger Ricks Tactical Squad idiots the Forest service has bloated up on...
Wow, maybe that brain power or as Bloomberg says, “gray matter’ could be used to help the farmers.
Fire every one of those back turners, they’ll be worthless wherever they’re allowed to reattach to the body of the Republic...
Winning!
Attu...
The writer presumes there is no one with a brain out in the Western states-only “brains” exist in DC or East Coast area to do the job that entails western lands, occupied by non-career government employees.
Hopefully, out West of DC doesn’t stretch further than Pennsylvania.
I know. It's like 'you'll be sorry'
Excellent.
Now leave all those new positions unfilled.

Awesome !!!
On behalf of Kansas City, we are happy they decided not to move!

Now that we know how to get rid of 50% of the government sluggards, the relocation strategy needs to be implemented throughout the Washington DC bureaucracy.

Yeah, don’t want nothing to do with us commoners.
Good, hire some folks who have more than a city perspective.
I like this!!! I’m always happy to hear about clever, but legal, ways to urinate in the cornflakes of swamp creatures. Good times!!
