Summary

Federal workers condemned a Trump administration email urging mass resignations, calling it a coercive and legally dubious move influenced by Elon Muskā€™s cost-cutting approach.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered ā€œdeferred resignationsā€ while warning remaining employees of potential layoffs.

Critics, including unions and Democratic lawmakers, warned of widespread disruption to essential services.

The emailā€™s phrasing echoed Muskā€™s past layoffs at Twitter, raising concerns about the administrationā€™s intentions.

Senator Tim Kaine urged workers not to accept the offer, citing Trumpā€™s history of broken promises.

      Problem is that god is a 13 yo boy, hyperdimensional gamer who is beaten by his step-dad, was rejected by his crush who also happened to be trans and he didnā€™t know it, and is procrastinating on a book report due in two in-game decades.

      It wonā€™t be so funny when he finally gets around to reading The Giver and decides thatā€™d work for this campaign.
