“White House officials wouldn't say whether [Musk] was involved in the current effort. But the subject line of the email sent to federal workers is: ‘A fork in the road.’ Musk now has a post pinned on X of an art piece he commissioned called ‘A Fork in the Road.’”

Would anyone have standing to challenge it? Probably not.
Should a federal employee trust this administration to uphold its end of the deal? Hell no.
3/end
Here’s the 5-pp OPM implementation memo to agency heads on the “deferred resignation program.” Says do it via administrative leave unless “it is necessary for the employee to be actively engaged in transitioning job duties.”

"Employees who accept deferred resignation should promptly have their duties re-assigned or eliminated and be placed on paid administrative leave until the end of the deferred resignation period" sure sounds like "we'll pay you to not-work from home."
It was *pages.*.
This is crap

The con is simple, yet profound,
Push the skilled out, bring the clowns.
Out with knowledge, in with fools,
Government run by partisan tools.
These people:
1) Planning to retire between now and ~ 12 months.
2) Currently on remote work with no ability/desire to go to an office.
3) Young employees who may nope out of this.
4) High demand roles.
Per OPM, Admin leave is allowed if: "The absence is officially sponsored or sanctioned by the head of the department or agency".
Mayorkas handed Admin leave out like candy.
This is structured in a pretty smart way.
1) What to do about people who change their mind?
2) Could this also set a new budget baseline for agencies?
3) For many white collar workers this is more generous than even the $40k offers.
4) How legally binding is this all?
R U Serious?🤣🤣🤣

It means "We intend to fire you, but we're going to be nice about it at first. If you don't tkae this severance, we won't be nice. Do yourself a favor and get out now!"
