Federal Buyout

[NorthEndzoneCrew]

Wow, not a bad deal. If I was offered something like this I would have taken it….but said the same thing about the Twitter buyouts.

Trump administration will offer all 2 million federal workers a buyout to resign

An email is set to go out to federal workers beginning Tuesday.

We are at the debt limit and operating under a continuing resolution for another month and a half.....where's the money going to come from?

 

[pjhawk]

They're just going to destroy everything, the morons. Way to go Trump voters! Way to go!

Russia, China, Iran have to be laughing their asses off.

 

[Jimmy McGill]

Shitty deal for folks that planned to retire doing civil service.

It also needs to be said that this is another completely insane proposal. Completely nuts.

That certainly is a joke. Right?

Haven't you heard????

A TARIFF!

 

[NorthEndzoneCrew]

As a proud member of the let it all burn club….this week is going GREAT.

 

[seminoleed]

It's gonna have to be a huge buyout, 'cos99% of those employees are unemployable in the private sector and they'll never find a job as cushy.

Still, I would love to see it.

Last time tiny was in charge he printed money to pay for things like this.

From the months of Sep-Dec this year because they’ll no longer be getting paid. If they didn’t take the buyout they’d still be getting paid.


They take the buyout and get paid for 7 months. Paychecks every 2 weeks. It ends in September.

I think they got a lot of that out of their systems when China took a dump on the billions we've been throwing at AI with their own $6MM model that functions as well and only took 2 months to build that's now on American phones......right on the heels of Trump announcing $500BB going to AI development. They even said hey, here's the code

If it's not a lump sum, I stand corrected although it is still not funded after whenever the CR expires

 

[Scruddy]

Personally I'd love to see these cloens fired outright vs bought out to leave

Between the hiring freeze and people who will leave to avoid this mess…. It’s going to be bad for a long time for anyone who needs services from these agencies. If someone wanted to hire someone now the HR process, posting of the job, interviews, background check and orientation it takes nearly 6 months to get someone to start. A lot of people are going to be overworked or things just will have gaps and not get done.

You act like Trump cares if the government provides good service. Starving agencies of workers will simply help to reinforce that government isn't working, and it needs to be destroyed.
I don't think he factored in that people like our national parks and their local ag office being staffed by a veteran who knows how to do their job.

If all two million quit, that ought to royally f*ck some things up, no?

Most of which love to serve and do their jobs.

 

[funksouljon]

"Project 2025 is going to be part of Trumps S2 Presidency!, Project 2025 is bad1"

"Whats 2025, I never heard of it?"

"He said he didn't know, you libs are just crazy!"

Hey look, another 2025 goal is underway. Anyone want to revisit RoeVWade being Step 1 towards a goal of a Federal ban and that the State's Right issue is just a BS deflection? Just because YOU can't or don't see it doesn't mean the rest of us can't.

It’s almost like they’re intentionally trying to harm the country.

I wanted to mention it's not that great,Reduction in force at my workplace is 1 months pay for every 2 years service minimum of 2 months pay.

 

[SA_Hawk]

Good. Clean out all that dead wood. Fat and lazy government workers on cruise control who work 8hrs a day and do actual work maybe 3hrs of that need to GTFO.

Why do you think some of them are fighting so hard not to return to the office? Because they are getting paid to stay home and not do a god dam thing all day.

 

[joelbc1]

Last time tiny was in charge he printed money to pay for things like this.

And then blamed Biden and the Dems for what happened. It’s the Republican way.

 

[ping72]

I’m not sure if any of you have seen the job market right now… But it’s absolutely atrocious. And with Trump blowing everything up, it’s not going to get any better.

These people would be absolutely stupid to take this buyout unless they are in a position to retire right after it runs out.

 

[ping72]

It’s almost like they’re intentionally trying to harm the country.

It took Hitler 53 days. That’s Trump’s goal, and one of the reasons why he’s moving so quickly.

No, it's not a shitty deal. You're just whining again. The offer is better than what the private sector generally receives.

 

[artradley]

I assume Trump figures he can just renege on the deal and not pay them. Win win.

 

[artradley]

Should have read the thread before posting.

JFC you’re an asshole.

Sounds like corporate ‘merica. Only in most cases there’s more subtlety.

This is Elon’s influence. Same as he did with Twitter.

Yep. We also saw how crappy Twitter got after Musk did this.

I think most of the folks that take it will be close to retirement or were already in the process of getting another job.

It will eliminate some of those positions though if they don't decide to refill.

I don't see it being the predicted 5-10% though.

 

[NorthernHawkeye]

This remote work needs to end and right now.

This remote work needs to end and right now.

Why? If they can do their jobs from home why do you care?
