You'd think the media would wait for further details before writing an article on anything this admin says. You're right about the offer based on what federal employees are saying after receiving the email. I wonder if AP will correct the article.

Anyone who takes an offer from the idiot is an even bigger idiot. He doesn’t pay people, it’s a scam, and anyone who takes him at his word is a fool.

They know they don't have the space to make people RTO so they are trying to get people to quit without having to do the logistics

Sounds like if you're exempt from performance reviews and return-to-office requirements, you can just not show up for 8 months and not get fired? Still wouldn't trust it for a second.

If you were going to retire in a year -- or just get a different job -- there's not a lot of risk. Just get that free money

The likelihood of them letting these people do anything is zero. Guarantee their access is cut off within a week.

Yeah, my read is the only thing they dont have to do is comply with the RTO mandate — there’s no suggestion of “not having to work” — it’s just agreeing you’ll leave at the end of FY or sooner.

Of course these are folks with the executive suite brain rot that believes WFH is “not actually working” so, they don’t see the difference.

Which is why I suspect the “they don’t have funding for this, it’s illegal” criticism is wrong

Yeah, just read up on that - it's a sneaky way for them to not have to pay actual severance.
