The White House will issue a memo Tuesday offering to pay federal workers who don’t want to return to the office through Sept. 30, as long as they resign by Feb. 6, an administration official tells Axios.

This might be a good deal if the Trump admin could be trusted to follow through. But… there’s a good chance they’ll just rug pull you on your severance and leave you without recourse because you resigned. Better to make them fire you and join the class action lawsuit.

As a few people have pointed out, taking this buyout only really makes sense if you think the government will actually pay the money.

This confirms my suspicion that a large motivation for the federal return-to-office policy was to get as many people to quit as possible so they would reduce the litigation onslaught they’ll face when they fire everyone.

Buyouts are for washed workers. They aren’t needle movers anyway

The government legally can only give out 25k max for buyouts. This will need an actual of Congress and I doubt this passes the Senate.

Next step is harassment and overworking until people quit.
