Federal workers cannot be offered a buyout exceeding $25,000, according to rules that are still on the OPM website. That's far less than eight months' pay, as stipulated in this alleged buyout. It's a sham. www.opm.gov/policy-data-... - ThreadSky

They are not offering a buyout, this was said to confuse the media and probably the employees when they get the email. You can see the email employees got here, they are offering exemption from RTO. A separate memo was sent to agency heads that says something different https://www.opm.gov/fork

My son (who works for a federal contractor) is having some f2f meetings this week with federal employees. In his words, it’s likely to be awkward.

the new feds don't care. they don't have to care.
Schumer is busy blowing the cobwebs off his desk.

Dems need to get their shit together with new leadership because this is going to be one huge mess to clean up!

It’s not a buyout.

This is going to backfire big time! Fed employees know their rights as well as the regulations covering them. Musk could've offered early retirement with no incentives and gotten takers. Seems like mostly they're gonna get lawsuits. Shock & Awe loses its impact when folks realize you're full o'shit.

The Buyout Scam

The con is simple, yet profound,
Push the skilled out, bring the clowns.
Out with knowledge, in with fools,
Government run by partisan tools.

Someone ought to archive these all inane announcements.

Once the pushback against these proposals rises up & Trump backs down these crazy websites will be 404'd down the memory hole.

"Oh, we didn't mean to suggest Yarvin-esque 'RAGE' ('retire all government employees) was a real policy."

Don't like what is going on? Here's your action plan. It's designed to be mindful of time and resource constraints. Simple things to do but when millions do them we can move mountains! Check my Substack for lots of other useful info!

They’re saying it’s not a buyout, it’s paid leave.

Have you considered the possibility that they're lying? If not, why not?

bigtentsocialist.bsky.social•33 days ago

It’s always possible that they don’t pay but they would get sued for sure.

I believe what they are offering is a deferred resignation. You are allowed to continue to work from home until 9/30 when your resignation goes into effect.

Trump won't pay them, you watch
