USDA workers got another email about the paid resignation offer.
It mentions USDA is “requesting” VERA authority, which generally only applies to people with 20-25 years of federal service. Still no explanation for how 8 months of admin leave is legal.
The TL;DR is “trust us, this is lawful.”

This whole thing boggles my mind. I'm so sorry.
Remember, that includes public workforce programing that HELPS people find jobs.

Congress should approve !
Both parties are just lazy!
Is it legal for them to do that?
They want everyone to resign, so they don't have to go thru the lawful process of getting rid of someone.
There are laws in place on how they can get rid of a government worker. Don't bypass the existing laws by taking this offer.
And why comply?
Why aren’t their mass resignations?
Just grind the whole thing to a stop and point at Trump.
🤷♂️
They’re incompetent idiots won’t find people able to do those jobs who hold their ideological views.
Collapse the system and make things ungovernable.
They can’t be authoritarians without a functioning apparatus.
I have ideas but it's hard
to PUT INto words...
They are using flash drives to try to take this.
Musk is NOT elected and has NO actual authority.
Musk said something to that effect
No. No. No.
Anyone taking that "offer" is going to find themselves SOL- no pay, no job, no unemployment benefits, nothing.

But how IS it legal? Just bc they say so?
It actually seems a bit more like mass bribery. But of course, SCOTUS is down w THAT.
and after CR is passed
will for sure not be funded. No one should take this deal. And yes it is also very likely illegal.
