    “A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings.”

    If they quit now, and are paid for another 8 months, how does that save any money?

    Similarly, if they quit and need to be replaced, you’re going to spend more money hiring and training the replacement, so for 8 months you’re paying double salary, one for the person who quit and one for their replacement…

    It’d be funny if every single one of them took it.

      Apart from all the people who will suffer and possibly die from the lack of social services.

      Because I am guessing this offer doesn’t go to people involved in, for example, leasing federal land to oil drillers.

      Maybe other nations should consider giving a tip, to entice them further. Just throwing around ideas

    Stealing what someone else said in the other thread: It is 7 months pay OR $25k whichever is LOWER. Watch as Trump misrepresents it as whichever is HIGHER.

    Paying people not to work? Sounds like the Department Of Government Efficiency at work

    These people aren’t going to get any money.

    If you don’t have another job lined up don’t quit your job

    FTS. They got the best benefits. We need them to stay and just lay low. For all our sakes.

      With the bills proposed by the house right now federal workers won’t have great benefits for long. Benefits are better on the county level in many cases already.
