The White House expects up to 10% of federal employees to quit in a buyout programmeant to end work-from-home practices, senior administration officials told CBS News.
A government-wide email President Trump's aides planned to send Tuesday will say employees have about a week to decide whether to participate in a "deferred resignation program." It was to begin Tuesday for all federal employees and end Feb. 6.
Only about 6% of federal employees work full-time in office, administration officials said.
"If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30, 2025 (or earlier if you choose to accelerate your resignation for any reason)," the emails states.
He's running Project 2025 to the letter.The thing he said he had no knowledge about? You mean he lied? Oh heavens, say it isnt so!!!
I wonder if the buyout is gonna be more or less expensive than the bullet that the people who don't take it get.This. Trump only wants yes men, not competent workers. Even their evil shit is going to be stupidly incompetent.
Gotta get 100% stooges.
only thing missing is needing to bribe someone at every level of government for something as simple as a new driver's license.Give it three weeks.
Great journalism from cbs parroting the false stat about 6% of federal employees working full time in the office without going through the effort to note that it is false, so all the morons who get their news in small fragments will believe it as wellYeah, bunch of bastards at CBS. That isn't even close to true as your link says.
Well my wife has seen the email.Fuck, I despise Trump and his ghouls. Federal workers don't deserve this. The only bright side is I work in Defense, so I know my job isn't going anywhere. I feel so bad for people working in other agencies, though.
Things sound pretty bad.
Talks about 4 pillars of standards that all federal workers must be held up to. One of them being RTO, another "streamlined" government. Basically goes on to say many agencies will be reduced in size or eliminated and how it may cause many offices to close down, therefore many federal workers may need to be relocated. Then it offers the buy out, and says those who choose to stay do not have assurances that their position or agency will not be eliminated.
Fucking scary shit guys. We're already freaking out my wife won't have space in the nearest office, and that we will have to relocate to Maryland where her actual duty station is. Our biggest concern is health insurance, cuz we have a kid with a very rare and dangerous congenital disease. What a stressful couple of weeks it's been.
Well my wife has seen the email.That is how they get you.

That is how they get you.
The other important part about a buyout is its sort of on a clock with you being in the dark about the future.
Basically if youre retiring in the next five years take it.
Otherwise be cool and wait for the job openings that are about to happen in a few months. Its all just a scam intended to clear out the weak.
I just got it. It's not even a buyout. It's just an "offer" of not having to return to the the office in exchange for committing yourself to resigning immediately. We continue to get paid because we still have to work. There's no pay for not working like a true separation agreement or buyout. It's a total scam.
If you thought the federal government was already unreliable, slow, and incompetent, wait until you see Trump's version.That's a feature, not a bug.
It's worth mentioning that this email came from the same dubious OPM address as the two recent please-respond-if-you-are-a-Fed broadcasts. The one mentioned here:

it's also worth noting that the email is, verbatim, the email sent to twitter employees when musk bought twitter.But tRumP iS rEaLlY pReSiDenT not MuSk!!@
