[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder what percentage of these employees have working spouses.  I bet it’s close to 90%.  And I bet most of those spouses are highly educated people who work in niche fields (such as other phds).  People like this just can’t move on a dime—it takes them years to find jobs in nearby locations.  The admin knows this and is hoping people will quit because they don’t believe in government and they don’t believe in science. It’s very transparent.  
PS I know people who live outside KC and love it, so I’m not anti-KC.  But the idea that dual scientist or dual PhD families are going to be able to find work for the trailing spouse there is just....unlikely.[/quote]

Totally agree with this point.  And the spouses certainly would be struggling to find good jobs close to a new home when the administration won’t even tell the employees what part of the Kansas City metro area the new office will be in. It’s a month/month-and-a-half from the start of school year! Even if they want to make the move, those employees are in a really tough spot, and for no good reason.  This isn’t being done to improve this office, it’s being done to destroy it.  [/quote]
