Im making an educated guess that there’s a decent amount of those 40k employees that were actually facing disciplinary actions or termination and are using it as a way to possibly avoid it.
I’m making an educated guess that the 40,000 number is a complete exaggeration. That number is coming from Trump and Musk, not an actual spreadsheet or database. Look at by how much he exaggerated the square footage of his penthouse in Trump Tower, or the size of his crowd at his inauguration.
There needs to be like a year of documentation that the employee is just not doing their job.
Because of the union.
That’s why there’s this big push to resign, every tool they have to reduce the federal workforce begins with the word “voluntary”. Probate employees and contracts have reason to be nervous tho.
Even closing USAID, it stops the work they’re doing, but they’re all gonna get huge severance checks or settlements if it really closes. It’s not like the private sector where it’s individuals fighting a billion dollar corparion. It’s multiple unions that are individually some of the largest in the country whose only reason for existence is knowing an incredibly confusing system of decades of regulations…
Versus a couple teenager and college drop out techbros with zero idea what they’re doing.
There’s quite a few jobs that aren’t union eligible, and trust me when I say I understand how they operate. The first trump admin made it easier to fire federal workers, and believe it or not, there are federal workers that do get fired for doing a bad job. I’m “making an educated guess” that some of those people facing disciplinary actions took the option to resign because I’m telling you what I’m personally seeing.
Same offer that expires tonight, they were just told they’re not excluded.
Apparently 40k (out of all feds) are taking it, but spread out between now and then those don’t match normal retirement numbers.
So it’s a safe bet the ones taking it were already planning on retiring before then, and not everyone who’s retiring trusts it.
Most agencies can’t even say when someone would be released from work duties if they accept.

Nah, after probation it’s pretty much impossible.

Yep, I’m not bargaining unit, so it sucks more than most. And there’s really not many of us
But I still have a shit ton of protections anyways.
I’ve fired federal workers, it’s just a year long hassle and giving them every plausible opportunity to improve first.
Does it matter if the courts don’t care?
Even Republican appointed judges are turning against trump policies.
Not everything gets to the supreme court.
