The USDA reorganization will move most of its Washington staff "closer to" farmers in five locations around the country. The plan will also close a number of key USDA offices in the capital region but notably will not pursue a large-scale reduction in force.
All the farmers that are currently declaring bankruptcy.
I will be curious to see how this plays out. Some people have been suggesting that government agency HQs be moved out of DC to other parts of the country (like with the CDC model) to not only prevent DC echo-chamber, but also more evenly distribute where federal tax dollars are spent re salaries.
BS. This is intended to force employees to resign.
Correct. They're just killing USDA policy by making it not functional.
If they wanted to move closer to the farmers they should move to the HQ’s of Archer-Daniels-Midland, Tyson Foods, or Monsanto.
Makes sense.
They are asking people who have a live( wife and kids) to move somewhere that has more cows than people. Because of the bbb passing probably doesn’t have a hospital.
Seems like a way to get people with good incomes to move to state that could never attract these people. Guessing this will result in a huge reduction in workforce.
It will be easier to bribe them, if they are closer.
They won't have to bribe them. They'll own the land. Dumb MAGAS.
So how much is this move going to cost? The last time I was moved by an employer it cost the company $30,000. That was in 1997.
Lol, they aren't paying for moves. Either you pay for it yourself or you lose your job. And even if you pay for it, by the time you get there, the entire department will be gone along with your job.
Yeah, you are probably right. Just thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. BIG MISTAKE.
Don't see the point of this.
Hey, it makes sense now calm down. Remember how much NASA wanted to move all the engineers to the moon???
I am sorry, I don’t trust a fucking thing that any part of Felonious Chump’s Administration does, nothing!
This is a slaughter
Yes, the farming megacenter of Utah
Except that I would guess that not a lot of Washington staff are necessarily thrilled to be moving. Remember when EPA did this in his first term...
This is a horrific idea.
I'm sure that austere move won't cost anything.
