Trump administration offers all 2 million federal workers a severance to resign

Probably unsurprising to everyone here, but this is importantly NOT a severance in most cases. It is a delayed resignation. You submit your resignation but are expected to keep working for the duration of that period and can be fired at any point in that timeframe without any further payment.

Basically they are asking to voluntarily surrender your union protections so you can be shat upon. It is definitely not an offer for 8 month free wages in exchange for resigning

This just keeps aging better and better

So fun fact, the max payout allowed is $25k... and why would anyone expect Trump and Musk to actually pay?

it's not even a good deal. i wouldn't quit for less than a year of payment.

DOGE has came

A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings

The Federal Government spends $100b less, but now the workers will have $100b less to spend on goods and services. It's not a "saving". Hopefully not many take the bait.

All full-time federal employees are eligible, except for members of the military, employees of the U.S. Postal Service, positions related to immigration enforcement and national security and other jobs excluded by agencies.

Of course.

Plenty of * on which agencies

“All 2 million”? I’m pretty sure there’s more federal workers than that.

If the economy wasn't so tight, the funniest thing would be for all of them to resign. On mass.

Depending on the wording, if they are not expected to work until September, that's a solid few months to find a job.

It would massively slow down their ability to achieve meaningful changes.

When the US government is doing its job we get a genocide. Maybe it is better if its nerfed in some way...
