Summary
Trump’s administration is offering federal employees a “deferred resignation” option, allowing them to resign by Feb. 6 while retaining pay and benefits until Sept. 30.
The move is part of Trump’s broader effort to reshape the federal workforce, alongside a return-to-office mandate, hiring freeze, and diversity office closures.
Employees who stay are not guaranteed job security.
Critics, including Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), argue the program is legally dubious and could leave workers unpaid, calling it a deceptive tactic to shrink government staff.
They should all resign, then occupy the federal offices and demand to be re-hired at better wages and working conditions.
Lmaoo at the thought that they are planning on hiring anyone in their place. They don’t want to restaff, they want to destaff. It’s what musk did at twitter. Just fire everyone and if things are buggy then who cares.
