I have never felt less sympathetic for a public employee |

"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.

if they dont want to move they can learn to code. View Quote 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. |
|
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? |
|
So they made this whole story basically about one trans .gov employee
Who cares. Companies move all the time in the private sector |
|
I’m trying to think of something so horrific, that it would cause me to have sympathy for a traitor who serves the federal government, if it happened to them...
Still can’t come up with anything... Nope, I got nothin. |
|
Oh no, government employees having to go thru what private sector employees go thru all the fucking time?
Boo fucking hoo |

[Malcolm Reynolds] So would his job be available? [/Malcolm Reynolds]

|
Haven't looked it up but the locality pay difference is probably HUUUUge. LOL
Fuck the lot of them. |
|
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!!! |

Maybe the new hirees will actually know something about agriculture!

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. View Quote |

Quoted: 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. View Quote |

40% of government workers including the guy reading this post should be fired.

Seems like a lot of them are on some kind of climate change research team. Plenty of duplication there with other departments. Just cut them.

The SJW leftist propaganda in that article would make any party member at the old Pravda proud.

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? |
|
Good, do it for more.
There shouldn't be a geographically centralized Federal government. |
|
That article was horrible. Sounds like the agency is leaving a lot of deadwood in DC. Imagine if the media wrote about military families with such concern.

Transgenders constitute 0.6% of the US population.
How is it that they merit what seems to be over half of the "news stories" being put out by the propaganda bureaus? |
|
I'd love to take one of those bitch-ass whiny schmuck's jobs. KC is a nice place (in places).
Off to usajobs.com! |

LOL gotta love it when people TDS out, post out of context "bad" things like "he added 34k government jobs!" then the actual info gets posted.

Trump added 34,000 government jobs last month. As for the workers, life is hard...deal with it. View Quote 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. |

Am I suppose to be sorry for that guy with a mutilated dick and takes hormones to be a fake woman because his job is relocating to another state?
I'm sorry, not really, that my Care'O meter has been run dry will before. |

"Ripping apart their lives....". What in the actual fuck? The media doesn't cry and moan when a major corporation lays off people for cheap Indian labor and moves it's headquarters to another city.
