SEE; the Soviets knew ahead of time that the Swamp Creatures would win their war for them without a shot fired!
F#CK’EM!
Sorry folks, but no one guaranteed you a job for life. You serve at the pleasure of the President, remember?
Report to your new boss, Hank Kimball, at the COOP Monday morning. Dress casual. Pack a lunch and bring your own flyswatter, you'll need it...
Enough of the sitcom humor, let's get real here. KC may not be inside the beltway, but it's not Hooterville, either. They've got electricity and everything! I live in Kansas and we don't appreciate being treated like some kind of backwater hayseeds. We're among the people you are supposed to be serving, remember?
Won't be happy here, huh? Well, that goes both ways - we don't want to pay a bunch of east-coast prima donna beurocrats to rule over us. Why don't you make it easy on all of us and JUST QUIT? We'll get along just fine without you.
Actually what they are worried about is that they will not have clandestine lunches and dinners, (paid by politicians and special interest groups), where they plot how to write reports that will allow the special interest groups to sue them in order to settle on the course of action that the special interest groups, and politicians, wanted.
It doesn’t matter what the current administration wants, these bureaucrats answer to the special interest and the Dem politicians.
Moving them out of D.C. makes the strategy meetings with the special interest groups and politicians harder to do under the radar because they will be easily seen in a smaller city with more conservative values. The politicians will need to file the travel/hotel vouchers for a trip to K.C. and having secret meetings will be almost impossible.
We moved 13 times in 22 years in the Air Force, cry me a river.
No one is being forced. If they are worth what they are being paid, then someone else will hire them if they decide not to move. But if they're not, then they have a problem. The government is typically quite generous with relocation benefits, and some who have been vegetating there for years will be eligible for early retirements.
I’m sure Kansas City doesn’t want those _____s, either.
Not necessarily. They would keep their GS levels, but they are getting "locality pay" adjustments in the DC area because it's a high-cost area. Those adjustments would most almost certainly be lower once they move.
Oops...
“would almost certainly be lower”
In the article, It is well stated. Their clients are not farmers. They are politicians.
Dittos, midwestern universities could replace every one of these bozos in an hour, and do more research and less politicking.
I think the big issue is jobs for spouses. Many of them likely have their own careers. If the other spouse stays in DC they have the added expense of 2 households plus commutes, etc..
DENVER (AP) - Colorado Republican Sen. Cory Gardner says the Trump administration is moving the headquarters of the federal government's largest land agency to western Colorado.
Gardner said Monday the Bureau of Land Management's Washington office will move to Grand Junction.
Gardner didn't say when the headquarters would move. A Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman in Washington said she couldn't confirm or deny the move. She declined to give her name.
Hmmm...headscratcher...be closer to those you are supposed to be serving??? Makes no sense...

...I was sarcastic
surprised they haven’t shopped an obama judge to play Junior Executive Branch mini-president yet to veto this.
Betcha they weren’t particularly upset when many military bases were closed or downsized a few years ago impacting far more people. But now that they themselves are affected, they are freaking out.
Boo f’n hoo.
How many times did you do it on three months notice with the government not paying for cost of the move?
Culling out the dead wood
yeah - way more important to be face-to-face with your handlers than where the work is supposed to be done....electronic data can be found and seen like clandestine meetings can be kept secret....
