That’s because you’re one of the unwashed masses in flyover country. You’re not one of the enlightened that lives on the east or west coast and are “above” those lowly plebes in between
I live in DC, am a full time federal employee, and I'd fucking LEAP at the chance to move back to flyover country.
What's stopping you?  USAjobs is full of openings.
What's stopping me is that not all federal jobs are the same and you don't know whom I work for.
I don't care who you work for.  And you can do a different job if you hate DC that much.  Life is full of choices.
I work in a secure facility outside of DC and you still don't know what you're talking about. Federal transfers are not easy despite common lore.
I only know what I have observed with personnel moving between agencies.  And I stand by my statement that you remain there and not where you would rather be by choice.
I'm glad you know so much about me, my job, and my family situation.  You don't have to run your mouth about what you're ignorant of, but you do.
You are bound and determined to be offended.

I'm sorry you are forced to work there against your will through no decisions of your own.  That's hard to hear about in our modern world.

Why would I call you out?  I'm not mad.  I gain nothing from this continuing and would just as soon bury this silly hatchet.

Putting the listing out for a month isn't going to get you that much better of a candidate pool, it'll just take three weeks longer than putting it out for a month.

And at this point we seem to be agreeing that there is a process in place to help combat "their guy" just getting selected.

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.

Wrong.  There is a process in place to create the illusion "that guy" isn't just going to be selected, but in the end "that guy" always gets the job.

In a previous life I was asked, in a slightly circumspect but still obvious manner, questions about technical skills and experience that were clearly used to write a highly tailored job description.  Tailored specifically to hire the guy that already worked at the agency.

Interior Official: Land Bureau Relocations Are Not Intended to 'Drain the Swamp'

Department would like to retain all employees and has instituted a hiring freeze to ensure positions are available for those who don't want to move, official says.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2019 01:35 PM ET

he Trump administration on Tuesday defended itself against accusations that it is trying to shrink the size of the federal workforce by relocating offices out of Washington, D.C, saying it is instead looking to retain every employee.

The decision to relocate the Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters to Colorado and move hundreds of additional positions to western states was based entirely on operational concerns, William Perry Pendley, the senior official currently serving as BLM director, said at a hearing before the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee. The Interior Department is taking great pains to ensure no employees are forced to leave, Pendley said, noting employees will receive official relocation notices next week.

BLM and the entire Interior Department have implemented hiring freezes to ensure vacancies for bureau employees who do not wish to move west, Pendley said. He added Interior was “working aggressively” so that employees can either accept their relocation or find a new position within the department.

“Our desire is to not lose a single employee,” Pendley said. He added, however, that BLM has conducted no analysis to determine how many employees will actually leave, aside from a “rough estimate” based on historical data suggesting 25% of impacted employees would retire or separate from the agency.

“I could not be more pleased with their work or their performance,” Pendley said. “I do not want to lose a single one of them. I’m not trying to drain the swamp, I’m trying to make it more possible for them to do their 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!

There will come a day when a bunch of the AGW frauds end up in jail or in hiding.   Sadly, it's very unlikely to include any of the camp followers in the bureaucracy that have wasted a zillion man years and billions of dollars on this bullshit.

I have very little sympathy for the entitled mandarins that want to fart around Georgetown and fling money around on their days off.

When the WH says this isn't a move to rein in agencies, they're saying it with a wink and a nod.   Of course it fucking is.

How is it that they merit what seems to be over half of the "news stories" being put out by the propaganda bureaus?
There is no way the percentage is that high.
The millenials are skewing the numbers quite a bit.  Can't throw a rock without hitting one in some places.

No.  The supporters of their policies are like 50% here, and much higher in Europe.  They are leftists, for the most part, and for them the ends justify the means.

Every time I have discussed the global warming bs with my coworker alarmist, my only goal is to sew doubt about global warming (as that should be all that's needed), and he always ends up storming off saying "But it isn't worth it to take a chance.  We should be making these changes anyway because it's better for the environment." He wants to force everyone to be environmentally conscious just like he considers himself to be...and global warming/climate change the means by which he thinks he will get there.

Most of the employees who don’t want to relocate are vegan so KC bbq has little draw.

If only they knew how much soy is grown in KS and MO. But alas, how could they know that, they work for the ag dept.
