“There’s no place like home.”

Classic picture, should go alongside the Obama staff picture.
“There’s no place like home.”
When the federal government offices change a location to a fairly significant distance what they will do is offer employees a transfer package, where they will purchase their homes at fair market value and therefore allowing those employees who wish to move to be able to buy a house once they get there immediately. They will also transfer their household goods on the government dime. If people do not wish to relocate what the Department of Human Resources will do is find them another government job at their same pay grade within the area that they are working. In this case it’s Washington DC. In Washington DC there would be absolutely no problem finding those workers who refuse to go to Kansas City another job in the government at their same pay grade.
No, I am talking swamp world. You can do every damn thing wrong in the books and keep your job, but gross insubordination, refusal to execute direction from your superior is a fireable offense. Foot-dragging and incomptetence are rewarded.
Nice pay cut for the workers. Locality pay in KC is 16.6%. Locality in DC is 29.32. So about a 14% pay cut.
I had read ‘Kansas City area’ in other articles. Is it certain to be KS or could it be MO? Is a specific location named yet?
Maybe I’m a bit nitpicky, but why was the word “literally” used in the Headline?
Did AOC write the Headline?
Headwind or tailwind? Might not matter in a car. When the whole fam damily is crammed in a VW van, the Great Plains are a little too great and a little too plain when you’re driving into a headwind.
Some of those look like they couldn’t even make the trip!
Except that one “gal” with those broad shoulders ... looks like she’s a rail-splitter in her spare time, she’ll fit right in!
My recollection is that if you refuse an involuntary relocation, it is treated as a resignation. You can apply for other openings at the agency or at another agency, but no additional preferences.
The Federal Behemoth would cut their Salaries?
I’ll believe that when I see it.
I doubt that Kansas wants them.
I was told a few years ago that there were more people working for the Agriculture Dept. than there were farmers in the USA. Incredible when you think about that. Talk about a huge, fat slob of a bureaucracy.
Headlines like that literally make my head explode.
Looks like they are either Fat or Foreign from the picture.
There’s a smell you never forget.
10 bucks says not a single one of that bunch has ever set foot in a plowed field
Or even seen one, except from 20,000 feet
GOOD NEWS THE TRUMP ADMIN IS CUTTING BACK ON BUREAUCRACIES
“We don’t need those pieces of crap here, so it would be best to just fire them. “
I guess the first question that needs to be asked is: “Just what is the value your services provide to the taxpayers.” Just what do they contribute to the betterment of agriculture. My guess is that the farmers ( and corporate farms) know all they need to know to grow stuff successfully. The fact that America is at the forefront of successful, inventive farming hasn’t likely come from the USDA.
