"Next month, Johnson, a 28-year-veteran of the U.S. Agriculture Department who most recently led its program on climate change, will quit her job..."

Boo fucking hoo! Also, article went on to state that almost 2/3rds of the employees are quitting vs relocating. Ok.

The current administration moving branches out of DC and to the areas they're responsible for overseeing is EPIC.  Guess they're doing this with the BLM too, booting them from DC and spreading the office types out around the shitty parts of the west, forcing them to interact with the people vs be disconnected in DC.

I love it!

Funny the media almost always runs sobs stories about government jobs.

Private businesses relocate, downsize, and go bankrupt all the time.

Businesses relocate all the time.  I believe anyone who wanted to move could do so.  I’ve seen groups relocate and only limited people offered to relocate.  These people thought they were immune.

Do you have any idea how hard it is to learn to code as a 55 year old trans person? Or a 30-something PhD who isn’t too bright? These folks can barely work their radios to listen to WAMU public radio through the tears.

well, yeah that does suck.

Kinda like being in the private sector and dealing with outsourcing, mergers, buyouts and all the crap everyone else has to deal with. Been there, done that many times.  I guess it deserves an article because it's a government agency?

I actually don't blame them.
About 20 years ago my company transferred me to KS from my beloved state of AZ - I was devastated.
It only took me 18 months to find a job back in AZ.
I did find out that the best point in KS is the geographical center - because from there every direction you go you are leaving!!!

Next month, Johnson, a 28-year-veteran of the U.S. Agriculture Department who most recently led its program on climate change, will quit her job and move away from the home she can no longer afford. She packs one box a night, more on weekends, in preparation for an upheaval she neither wanted nor expected.

A quick easy way of knowing if a large amount of government employees are quitting their jobs is if the house prices in the NoVa/DC area start to fall.

What they mean by "tearing life apart" means -- they will no longer have $130k/year jobs where they  leave the office at 3pm and produce nothing of value.

I've lived and worked in DC for 30 year, worked for the DoD and trust me; you could cut 40% of govt and nothing would happen.  I left the DoD because i was so bored with doing nothing, that it was painful. I would sit at a gorgeous office and browse the internet for 7 hours a day. It was too much after a while.

MOST of my friends work for the Govt and they got Masters and PHD's WHILE AT WORK. Thats how little work they do.  Tell me, what other work do you have so much spare time that you can get a Masters DURING work?

How is it that they merit what seems to be over half of the "news stories" being put out by the propaganda bureaus?

Do you really buy that number, uncritically?

The census explanation seems to make sense.

Not that Trump isn't growing the federal government (at least the budget), but it just seems like you're nevertrumping

Anyways, this seems like a good move, decentralizing the feds.
