If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

"Look, you haven't even felt your feelings!" [pause] "There, I've felt them! Happy?"

Trump's administration has made buyout offers to more than 2 million government employees (2/3 of fed workforce). If only 4% of employees accept the offer (deadline Feb 6), it will be the largest layoff in history. The good news, those who accept the offer will apparently be paid until September.

The trump administration's approach to 'talent management' is sickening, but I’m focusing on empathy, accountability, and performance improvement and how they work together to create lasting change. Follow me here for updates and subscribe to my newsletter on LinkedIn! https://buff.ly/3Ws8Vxj
