2 Million Federal Emplyees Given Buyout Offer Letter

[Palumboism]

The email sent to millions of employees said those who leave their posts voluntarily will receive about eight months of salary, but they have to choose to do so by Feb. 6. 


This letter is similar to the letter Twitter employees got. 

Is this a positive move?

I don’t think it’s a good thing for 2 million Americans to be at risk of losing their jobs, no.  In fact, I would say it is a very bad thing.

Conscientious committed workers wont take up the offer, they are the ones you want in your company

Oh and statistically 20% of your workforce do 80% of the work

They were fake jobs...govt welfare. Most have liberal arts skillsets heading them for welfare again.

The construction industry is starved for skilled and unskilled labor. Perhaps it’s time they learn a trade.

Gov't employees, who during Covid, thought work-from-home would last forever and moved many hours and sometimes many states away are getting a big surprise.

I thought such moves were foolish at the time.  Covid would not last forever.

[Schnauzer]

Not a buyout, it's a deferred resignation. Take the offer now and sit at home on administrative leave drawing full pay and benefits until September 30th.

[Never1AShow]

Stay working and thus voluntarily work for Trump Hitler or take a massively generous unbargained for severance, lose your victim status and find another job if you actually have any skills. We’ll see how many are Cleggs and how many are Hankins.

Who is to say they don’t produce anything of value?  Personally I think it’s a bad thing when a fellow citizen loses their job.  I like to see people in my community doing well.  If they lose their job, it will make their lives—and the lives of those who depend on them—very difficult.  That’s why I think it’s a bad thing.

Why are you so keen on seeing American citizens lose their jobs?

[Mayday]

It’s a positive move.

You all want income tax cuts, this goes towards how they pay for it.

With the upcoming Boom, many people will need to re-skill anyway.

We have birth rates in the dirt so we raise immigration and people chuck a shit. We have labour shortages so they cut govt jobs to free up labour because people had a shit about immigration and are now having a shit about cutting govt jobs…….

Job cuts and tariffs are the trigger to release the new investment of restructuring.

Trump is fixing America, literally resuscitating America, I just hope it's not too late. PS conservative blacks may end up being our savior.

This.

When you have the majority absolutely gagging for a 25% tariff…. But cutting inefficient govt jobs is crossing the line….. 👀

I know a sizeable group who recently got made redundant and they got 2 weeks pay….. US govt offering 8mths and the bleeding hearts suddenly appear…..

[Coach is Back!]

Just a reminder that Bill Clinton did the same thing. He purged almost 400k federal employees

These cuts are eliminating dead weight. Some of these people are collecting checks while working 2nd jobs.

[falco]

Would assume most have useless jobs revolving around equity and diversity, to employ all those pointless "degrees".

I haven’t seen anything about this.  Can you link a credible source?
