Agriculture Specialist. Providing a critical role in the Department of Homeland Security, CBP agriculture specialists possess specialized skill sets they use to prevent the introduction of harmful exotic plant pests and foreign animal diseases, and potential ag/bio-terrorism into the United States. Quote HistoryQuoted:
Quoted:
Quoted: USDA doesn't employ ag specialists, DHS does. Ag specialists are already understaffed by 30% to 50% depending on staffing model applied. Couple that with DHS cant manage to hire new hires with required degrees for a large number of reasons, and while attrition is running maybe 5% yearly(which is 100 bodies) they only manage to hire 80. Been that way for YEARS(hence the massive shortfall of bodies). Add in that 33k yearly for a job that requires a 4 year degree and suddenly a job that literally pays 30% less than average entry level for biology degree holders (50K) pay isn't so attractive.

It would be about a 10% pay cut due the change in locality pay. Although it would be more than offset by the lower cost of living. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted:
The number is the official reported number and the most accurate number available even if it was highly fudged. The census workers made up 25,000 of the 34,000 jobs. Even though they are temporary they are still government employees and government created jobs. A 150,000 job increase is what was expected. The number came in at only 130,000. If you take away the 25,000 temporary worker jobs that means the jobs created was actually 105,000 compared to the expected 150,000. Which points to Trump's economy being weaker than he claims. That isn't NeverTrumping, those are just a discussion on the numbers the government released. A lot of negative economic indicators appeared in August. I hope they are just a glitch in the numbers due to restructuring and September is back to better than expected numbers. |

I've even wondered what it would be like to live there. Value judgements aside, the two cities definitely offer a different experience and it's not surprising that some folks might prefer one over the other. |

The job left. They are welcome to stay in DC and will even get priority placement in another agency.
The former happens with regularity in the real world. The latter doesn’t exist in the private sector. Expecting sympathy is a waste of time for everyone but the low information “orange man bad” crowd. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yes if 2/3s quit KC dodged a bullet. On the bright side, this is a good chance to cut the size of the Ag Department, and to drop the pay grade of gapped jobs from GS-13/14/15 to GS-6/7/8. GS-14s and 15s are few and far between outside of DC. |

Yep. The down side to moving fed departments is that it only metastasizes the cancer of liberalism. Some of them might be good conservatives that are grateful fo the chance to leave the cesspool that is DC, but they're few and far between outside of DoD. |

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. And OMG kansas city???? That's like practically the moon, it only has several million people, pro sports teams, art museums, and a busy international airport. Quote HistoryQuoted:

"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! 
I'm liking this too. |

The locality adjustment to the GS pay scale is very high for the D.C. area.

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? The fed is very bloated and could cut MANY employees. Starting with non-producing people like these. |
