Yall done tore all the bottom of ya shoes w/me!!!
Gotta be near retirees or people in inconsequential roles...... nobody with skin in the game is risking the potential scam......
Not sure why these people would trust Trump or the Federal Government for that matter. When I was a Federal contractor they told us our jobs we're safe due to sequestration. Only to layoff damn near 70% of us contractors only a few months later.

Despite media reports, Trump has not offered federal employees a "buyout"

Anyone who has read reports in the Associated Press, the New York Times, CBS News, CNN, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times, NBC News, or Axios would be under the impression that the Trump administration has offered 2 million federal workers a "buyout" offer — eight months of pay in return for a voluntary resignation.
People who rely on television news were also told that federal workers were offered a buyout.
This is also the preferred narrative of the White House. In a statement, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said that, under the policy, federal employees who "don’t want to work in the office and contribute to making America great again… are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump Administration will provide a very generous payout of 8 months."
The problem with this narrative — and the media coverage — is that it is false.
A "buyout" is when an employer agrees to pay an employee a lump sum, often equivalent to the employee's salary for a particular length of time, in exchange for their voluntary resignation. After agreeing to the buyout offer, the employee receives the money, and their obligations to the employer end.
The Trump administration is proposing something very different.
Under the terms of the agreement, which is posted to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) website, employees agree to resign effective September 30, 2025. Until that date, they remain employees of the federal government but are "exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements." This, of course, is only a valuable concession if an employee is still working. The agreement is called a "deferred resignation," not a "buyout."
The agreement states that, after accepting the deferred resignation offer, "my employing agency will likely make adjustments in response to my resignation including moving, eliminating, consolidating, reassigning my position and tasks, reducing my official duties, and/or placing me on paid administrative leave until my resignation date." Administrative leave allows an employee to collect their salary while not working. But, as the agreement makes clear, that is not guaranteed. There will "likely" be changes to an employee’s official duties, according to the agreement. But they are still an employee of the federal government and are obligated to continue to fulfill whatever responsibilities are assigned to them.
An OPM memo, dated January 28, 2025, states that employees who accept the deferred resignation agreement "should promptly have their duties reassigned or eliminated and be placed on paid administrative leave." What constitutes a "prompt" placement onto paid administrative leave is not defined and will be up to each agency to determine. Further, the agency does not have to "promptly" place an employee on administrative leave if "the agency head determines that it is necessary for the employee to be actively engaged in transitioning job duties." An OPM fact sheet says federal employees who accept the "deferred registration" are not expected to work "except in rare cases determined by your agency."
This is where the policy completely falls apart. It assumes that, for many federal employees, their duties can simply be eliminated or assigned to some other federal employee who is not busy. But there is no basis for this assumption.

I’ve made it a point to ignore the emails & keep a record. Not about to say I responded
When they got rid of most us contractors during sequestration. The Feds lied up until the very last minute. That most contracors jobs we're safe. The Government will screw anyone over with impunity no matter who they are.
Judge temporarily blocks Trump plan offering incentives for federal workers to resign
A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s plan to push out federal employees by offering them financial incentives.

BREAKING: Over 100,000 federal employees are set to simultaneously tender resignations tomorrow — the largest mass exit in U.S. federal employment history. Under Trump’s “deferred resignation” scheme, many are citing fear, coercion, and shutdown threats.
2/37
@gelsonluz
The hidden truth is that mass resignations often signal systemic erosion. When public servants fear reprisal for doing their jobs, it undermines our government's ability to function properly for the American people.

@CharlesPerreir7
This isn’t normal government “restructuring” anymore this is a slow-motion collapse. Trump is deliberately debilitating and paralyzing the government from the inside out. It’s not just one program or one scandal; it’s a constant, calculated erosion of every safeguard and every layer of stability that holds this country together.
You can see it in the mass resignations. You can see it in the intimidation of civil servants. You can see it in the threats, the chaos, the never-ending crises. He’s draining the system of expertise and replacing it with fear and loyalty tests. This isn’t reform it’s sabotage.
And what makes me furious is how many people don’t see it yet. They’re distracted by the noise while the machinery of government the very thing that protects us is being hollowed out. It’s like watching a slow roll of destruction in real time and being told it’s all fine.

This is not accurate. The people who took Deferred Resignation have been on admin leave for months, getting paid and knowing their last official day would be the 30th no matter what. The fear and coercion are real but you added shutdown fears yourself.

The hidden truth is that mass resignations often signal systemic erosion. When public servants fear reprisal for doing their jobs, it undermines our government's ability to function properly for the American people.

This isn’t normal government “restructuring” anymore this is a slow-motion collapse. Trump is deliberately debilitating and paralyzing the government from the inside out. It’s not just one program or one scandal; it’s a constant, calculated erosion of every safeguard and every layer of stability that holds this country together.
You can see it in the mass resignations. You can see it in the intimidation of civil servants. You can see it in the threats, the chaos, the never-ending crises. He’s draining the system of expertise and replacing it with fear and loyalty tests. This isn’t reform it’s sabotage.
And what makes me furious is how many people don’t see it yet. They’re distracted by the noise while the machinery of government the very thing that protects us is being hollowed out. It’s like watching a slow roll of destruction in real time and being told it’s all fine.

Who needs a govt shutdown showdown in Congress when the real govt is going to walk out. Very saddening.

People have too little of an idea how much power they hold as a collective. Just look at France how their people not rarely lock up the country via a national strike. Look how quickly Disney folded to the pressure.

All working out exactly as Trump/his admin have planned. He cleared out the admin/agencies of the rule followers and those loyal to the Constitution. He's got Republican in Congress just where he wants them - loyal and/or afraid. The media is falling in line. Here we are.

Quit before you get fired. This is basic ass shyt.
Now why is Trump eviscerating the feds? Doesn't want people doing their jobs without a loyalty oath

The void this creates will enable Trump to load these government positions with loyal but incompetent MAGA morons. In other words, the worst of the worst, and their stink will be around long after he’s gone.

@LeeAJones2399
This is not accurate. The people who took Deferred Resignation have been on admin leave for months, getting paid and knowing their last official day would be the 30th no matter what. The fear and coercion are real but you added shutdown fears yourself.

@CT9397
So between the mindless firing of federal employees and AI related blood bath in the private sector, MAGA will have caused the biggest jump in unemployment since Republicans brought us the Great Recession.

Tomorrow is the end of the deferral period, not something new, and has nothing to do with shutdown threats. The fear and coercion came months ago courtesy of DOGE.

ITS A big game!! Trump is trying to use these scare tactics on the DEMS.. also, to try to turn this around on the DEMS. It’s up to Trump if he wants 100,000 ppl to lose their jobs. I suggest he negotiate!! Or.. it’s on him!

@BoldestGesture
Capitulation to fascism. Sad. A shame they aren't standing up to him. The one good trait MAGA has is that they wouldn't simply resign like sooooo many liberals and democrats have in the face of injustice.

Every General is going to be asked to take a "Maga loyalty test" & order by Hegset to use Full Force against American citizens, that's when every single one of them should stand up and walk out of the meeting together.
The General's are America's last hope...

The "Jobs" President has already gutted 10% of the Federal workforce.
