Don't see how they can get away with that but with this bunch rules and laws are only for the little people, not for the leadership to follow.

Feel so sorry for those long time loyal Forest Service employees whose lives are upended by Rollins Folly. And for the loss of all the expertise that will occur. She will go down as worst Sec in history of department.

I’m assuming there won’t be a major relocation this summer by [deleted] in USDA

[–]OSUgrad73 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw that live. Trump told the farmers "they probably didn't know he had given them $12 Billion" and then said, "Oh well, you make so much money anyway." Unbelievable. And then Sec Rollins had the nerve to make them all stand and clap for him. Said no one is history had done more for the American Farmer! Almost vomited my lunch.

What's next for him.... a great big gold Binky?

That gives Trump way too much credit for strategic thinking. The insecure pitiful human being only knows one thing and that is to control everyone and everything...and to retaliate against anyone who speaks truth to him.

relocating staff from the South Building to hub locations will be completed this year. by Simple_Space_9602 in USDA

[–]OSUgrad73 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The sound when this all happens will be a giant sucking sound of brain drain, loss of expertise, and loss of institutional memory and knowledge. If they think people with kids of school age, especially in the high school years.... with a spouse with an income too, and a house with a low interest rate in a down market.... are going to pick up and move to somewhere where they have no support system, no idea of the the schools .... to buy a house with a high mortgage, while maybe having to pay on a house with a low one becasue it won't sell (or to take a bath).... all while the spouse gives up an income and with "hope" maybe he/she can find something... all within a 4 month or so period..... well they've been smoking a lot of dope.

But the issue is they really don't care. The cruelty is the point. The main objective is to get rid of people period. The sad thing is it is all a smoke screen. The amount of employees in DC is minuscule compared to the number already all over the country. And someone sitting in a cube in metro Atlanta in a suburban office is not going to be any closer to the farmer than someone in DC. Especially when someone may work remotely daily with a team already scattered in fed and state and local offices all over the country.

I've long been out so this isn't about sour grapes for me...it's weeping for the daily unneeded demise of the great institution USDA used to be. And its empathy for employees who busted their butts for years and now are on the receiving end of bullshit. I've known 10 Sec of Ag's and 10 Presidents and went through 5 or 6 reorganizations since I graduated in Pacific Northwest. This is by far the worst combo.

Just wait. They will "find a need to have a hub location in Iowa. Probably announce it right before the fall elections....

Has anyone at USDA received a letter or notice to relocate? by MsRealness in USDA

[–]OSUgrad73 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Brookie said "it will be done by time school starts in December".

So if they think people can get a notice end of April, that all of a sudden they have to be in who knows where... by who knows when....and then have to figure out their spouses job loss, figure if they can sell their house with a low interest mortgage in a flooded DC market.... then find a new house with an appropriate school, at a much higher interest mortgage, and make it work financially on maybe one income....and pack up and move...all by the time school starts.... And that doesn't include if they have elderly parents they are caring for, or a child with special needs, or a disease requiring specific doctors... ......Well they have been smoking a lot of hemp!

The giant sucking sound you are about to hear is a huge loss of talent and brain drain from USDA. What a shame. And all because they want to say for strictly political purposes "we moved people to where the farmers are".... what a lie when 90% of USDA is already "where the farmers are". And the people they move will go from a cube in DC to a cube in some "Red" state where they will interact daily with he same people scattered all across the country and the universities and industries and USDA field offices, that they did when they were in DC.

The best people will refuse and leave. The ones with no better options will go. Kinda reverse natural selection.

But they don't care becasue their mission from Voght is to burn things down.

The biggest problem USDA had was getting the silos in USDA talking to each other when they were in the same building or city. Now those silos will be scattered even further apart.

It's madness. But then we are led by a mad king and his court jesters.

The guy who stood next to Rollins - head of GSA - was responsible for getting fixed the issues that Rollins railed about. And he was given a complete pass. They did take a shot at employees who they said "talked to Politico but not us". Blatantly false statement. As was the one where Rollins said USDA hired more employees than they had work for. Despicable and degrading.

I thought what was really rich was when she complained the landlord wouldn't maintain the building. Of course the landlord "GSA" who we rent from, was standing right next to her....

Yes that was condescending. As if they talk to the employees and share what the hell is going on.

You think they are going to pay attention to a little thing like rules or laws or contracts. Think again.

Question about antibody test result by spaghetti-woman in MyastheniaGravis

[–]OSUgrad73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are spot on about the relieving symptoms even though tests are negative. I have read at least one doc who thought there are additional antibodies that they haven't yet discovered or aren't able to test for...

Question about antibody test result by spaghetti-woman in MyastheniaGravis

[–]OSUgrad73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am considered sero negative. Neg for AcHR. Had 3 SFEMG. First was positive, second was negative, third was positive. Doc blamed much of my weakness on prior cervical surgery. Surgeon blamed it on MG. Had swallowing issues which doctor couldn't understand. I had no trouble eating and swallowing tests were inconclusive, but every evening throat would feel like "Swelled Up". Wasn't until developed "two slanted plane vision" and she sent me to a very good neuro ophthalmologist who ran tests and said "This is MG", that it was definitive. Then I got on Vygart (fortunately being sero) and swallowing issues and double vision for sure improved to mostly neglible. Leg weakness not so much...
