Please delete this. Real OPM alerted staff that it’s not accurate and they could have pension implications should they follow it. The headline makes it appear to be legit and it isn’t.
Now it's all in house democrats hands to stop this crap. They have a huge leverage to increase the debt ceiling. Shut the govt down and let the country default if you have to stop this felon president's unconstitutional actions. It's honorable thing to do.
Not a buyout. Here's the actual email. It's just an agreement that you'll resign in September in exchange for keeping your current remote work schedule for the next 7 months until you leave. Not a buyout. Your misreporting is going to ruin lives, please do better. https://www.opm.gov/fork
This doesn't sound like it's any better. Trump is the one ruining lives, why are you playing defense for the fascist fuckhead breaking all of our institutions?
what? I'm saying the media is lying when it's calling it a buyout. it's much worse than that, it's a trap but they are gullibly just repeating what Trump is telling them to say. please actually take a look at my account before calling me a trump supporter LOLOL
I think he's trying to trick thousands of scared desperate and traumatized public employees into quitting by pretending they'll get a buyout with severance pay. It's a fear tactic.
It's happening @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social The Trump administration is hijacking the federal government. Things are getting real and we all should be scared. Just go to Fed News on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/fednews/s/DM5EdmQNdt
He better be glad I'm NOT a career Gov't employee because I'd tell him (for about the 100th time this last week)...
"You really are insane! You can take this plan & pack it in your oversized ass to go w/the other 99 F'd up plans of yours!! F--k You Donny & You DON'T rate being called "President!!"
Where’s the money coming from 4 these payout? What happens 2 #RetirementBenefits? I wouldn’t trust any politician much less #LiarInChief #34XConvictedFelon

IT’S NOT A BUYOUT! This is ridiculous. It is keeping your job for 8 months without fear of being fired. Your duties may be reassigned but they may not. Be honest and don’t mislead workers!
Really he’s going to pay 2 million people eight months and benefits do you realize how much that would be of the people’s money all at once it’s a scam no
It’s not legal to fire Civil Service employees without cause. Not only that were is he getting the money. He has no authority since Congress holds the purse
And I guess it's the Money taken from Low/Middle Income Americans/Children, Elderly, Ill, Veterans- that will be used to Pay for "Money Crazed Trumps" Federal Gov't Employees Buyout?! Everyone in America needs to find the ways to STOP this 🚫Not a King & his Court of Jesters. It's a Bad Look Trump.
IT IS NOT A BUYOUT!! I am begging the media to read things, and think, and ask experts, and not just repeat what Trump says. He lies about everything. Everything. This is an offer for Feds to quit in September and not have to go into the office. That’s it.
No one - not actually a buy out. You pledge loyalty or resign. You’re allowed to post-date the resignation as far out as September and continue to be paid, as long as you report to the office, whether you have duties to perform or not. It’s not a buy out. Pledge your obedience to me or get out.
This is not a buyout! It's a wrecking ball to our Free Republic. What I have to say to the Democratic Senators is this: Shut the whole Senate down! Whatever it takes. Don't let these Dictator decrees stand. Stiffen your spines, defend the people's Article I powers of Congress!
An irresponsible headline accepting their framing. Maybe insert the word "idiotic" in there somewhere. "The idiotic Trump administration..." Or "...make an idiotic offer to..."
1. Trump is not authorized to make an offer like that.
2. Severance pay is strictly controlled by a formula to determine the amount of severance each employee would receive, limited by Federal regulations, and subject to codified guidelines.
I’m not so sure the legislative branch hasn’t ceded that role to Trump…but I’m sure Mike Johnson will let us & the man himself know the next time he steps in front of the cameras.
NOT a buyout. Unless your Agency puts you on administrative leave, you keep working, just from home! You are just agreeing to voluntarily quit in 7 months and then you don’t get unemployment. It’s a crap sandwich.
What do you mean "can't be done?" Who is going to stop him when he replaces as many people as he can with loyalists who will do whatever he tells them to without question?
In case anyone missed it his last term, he has no idea what federal workers do, no idea what their vacated jobs would mean, and so obviously, only wants the money, money, money.
8 days into this regime, our country is in a deep, and rapidly deepening constitutional crisis. DO something Democrat Party. DO something now. I beseech u!
I had this boss - I didn't agree with the way she practiced law & handled trust funds. Heart to heart& we both decided I could move on, she let me post date my resignation so I could find another job. Next day she said "I really don't have the money to pay you so this is your last day" be careful.

Do better you assholes.
Fuck Donald Trump;
Fucker should be in prison.
he can fuck off... and take that scumbag wife of his with him.
The con is simple, yet profound,
Push the skilled out, bring the clowns.
Out with knowledge, in with fools,
Government run by partisan tools.
You know, for accuracy's sake.
Instead of just repeating slogans?

Do better, MSNBC.
I’m betting the answer is yes.
THE CHECKS WILL GET CANCELLED!
