Usually it just means gutting the department that moves. The UK has been trying this with the BBC, forcibly relocating the organisation to the north of the country. It encodes a basic assumption that in government, skilled and experienced people are so unimportant you can just lose all of them (as very few people want to relocate to a place chosen specifically because it's fallen behind). Says a lot, really.

- aeternum 7y agoMany governmental organizations do not need to have the most skilled or experienced. Different people bring different ideas, in government especially diversity is important. Moving the department seems like a great way to do this. Those that choose not to move can leverage their experience in private industry.
