The Trump administration said it is offering financial incentives for nearly all civilian full-time federal workers to quit as part of plans to drastically shrink the size of the government https://reut.rs/4jBO8kU

This is inaccurate. They are literally saying resign in eight months and continue working until then. The only concession offered is exemption from the rto mandate
Just a thought, everyone in the WH non-political staff, maids, grounds keepers, cooks and the rest and 100% of the Secret Service. Everyone turn in paperwork and ID badges at 4 PM and go home. Trump and the wife alone.
The language in the email that got sent out to Federal employees is bonkers. It reads and looks like spam, and is a bunch of “obey dear leader / we’re watching you” language.
This cannot be implemented. The government is only funded through March. The continuing resolution doesn't cover this. Law caps severance at $25k. Most employees 2/3rds salary is higher than $25k. OPM doesn't approve resignations. Each agency's HR does that. This is a scam.
In the body of the article “Democratic Senator Tim Kaine on Tuesday called the proposal a "fake offer", saying Trump did not have authority to offer it and employees may not get the promised payouts”
Basic reading comprehension reveals that Reuters is reporting directly on the facts as presented, not making a value judgment as to their veracity. That is what news is supposed to be. There is also a contrasting sentiment from Sen. Kaine. Please don’t start acting like Twitter on here.
“White House offers 2 million federal employees financial incentives to quit”. 1. I have never been on Twitter, so replicating would be difficult for me 2. The way it is phrased leads one to believe they are offering them additional money, in the way of incentives, to leave. That is incorrect. 1/
BTW, from what I’ve heard, the passive aggressive “Basic reading comprehension” start to your reply does seem kind of “Twitterish” tho. Not gonna go there.
They say this offer is for all
employees with a few exceptions that are mentioned. That’s not true. This offer is targeting older employees. Which could be a lawsuit waiting to happen.
The US better hope the bird flu doesn't spread. Mr. Drumpf screwed the US Covid response & treatment so bad the covid death rate was 2.5 x Canada's. With MAGAts, faith healers, & anti-vaxers in charge ... ??
This should be 3 alarm fire breaking news; but he knows he's trying to get away with so many illegal and unconstitutional obscene things; somethings will slide. and he really doesn't care. He's got he get out of jail card and the money; so why not be a gold plated Hitler.
It’s impossible for him to make that happen when congress would need to appropriate the funding. And BTW, paying people to not work is something the gop tends to frown upon.

Not a buyout. Not severance.

Of course.
They're part of the propaganda network with that one.

No one will be paid a dime and you all know it.
