Summary
Federal workers condemned a Trump administration email urging mass resignations, calling it a coercive and legally dubious move influenced by Elon Muskās cost-cutting approach.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered ādeferred resignationsā while warning remaining employees of potential layoffs.
Critics, including unions and Democratic lawmakers, warned of widespread disruption to essential services.
The emailās phrasing echoed Muskās past layoffs at Twitter, raising concerns about the administrationās intentions.
Senator Tim Kaine urged workers not to accept the offer, citing Trumpās history of broken promises.
This is wildly inaccurate. Itās not a buyout as you suggest. Itās a ādeferred retirementā- which basically means you quit in 8 months and still get to show up to work between now and then.
