Pick a job that doesn’t relocate people.
Working for a city that can relocate your office across the city beats a gov that can move your job across The state or the country |

Quoted: It's called big sky country for a reason. Kansas is the sunflower state, the wheat state. KS has big skies but once every 87 hours they turn deep velvet purple and a tornado or cantaloup hailstone drops down and tries to kill you. Those climate change scientists should in theory love KS because the climate changes continually there. MO is the “show me” state. MO is the GD of states in some ways. |

So the dirty secret of the hiring process is that once a listing is posted, they probably already have an internal candidate. They're required by law to list it publically unless they can justify an internal only hire (or other, non-public process). Generally if it's only open for a week, the hiring managers already know who they want. If it's open for more than 3 weeks, it's them just collecting resumes. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Except they're still going to wait weeks on end, regardless of how it was listed. The system is specifically designed to prevent the hiring manager from just picking their friend. And at this point we seem to be agreeing that there is a process in place to help combat "their guy" just getting selected. |

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! If my employer were to offer to me a chance to relocate out of the cluster of human misery, rudeness, and entitlement that is Fairfax I would be forever grateful. |
