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.
Thereās no statutory authority for this kind of resignation in the federal government. This is a scam, they will not get the good deal.
And from what youāve posted Iām pretty sure you have no clue what civil service employees do.
There is no budget for this. Even if there was a budget, the government is only funded until like March. Even if you expected Congress to extend that long enough for the payout, there is still a $25k Max buyout set by OPM.
You would have to be so dumb to take this ādealā.
