Summary

Federal workers condemned a Trump administration email urging mass resignations, calling it a coercive and legally dubious move influenced by Elon Muskā€™s cost-cutting approach.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered ā€œdeferred resignationsā€ while warning remaining employees of potential layoffs.

Critics, including unions and Democratic lawmakers, warned of widespread disruption to essential services.

The emailā€™s phrasing echoed Muskā€™s past layoffs at Twitter, raising concerns about the administrationā€™s intentions.

Senator Tim Kaine urged workers not to accept the offer, citing Trumpā€™s history of broken promises.

    They didnā€™t send it to the secret service or the boarder patrol or ICE. I think also the post office didnā€™t get the letter.
