What does billets mean?

The billet is the position that a person fills. Billets are what are funded by Congress. If you want more billets, you need to POM for that and get the funding in (the next/a future) FY; when the funded billet arrives, then you can begin a hiring action to fill that billet with a human employee.

So when someone Resigns under Amanda Musk's program, their billet should go away. Meaning there is no backfill, no hiring action, that job just stops getting done.

Or you get an FTE to do it.

I assumed that was implied. If someone quits, they will just reassign work and that will now be the structure of a smaller agency. The goal is less people ie less billets.

If they did they were fools.

Musk is never paying them
Trump is never paying them.

Those are facts.

I'm skeptical that everyone will get paid ... but I don't think you know what "facts" are.

I took the offer. No way I'm going back to office.

No one thinks you're real.

DP. I think they are.

Specifically some at DOJ - there are other options for lawyers (and others)

I do know of a DOJ lawyer who is WFH and expected to RTO soon who is eligible for retirement anyway who is probably taking it.

If you resign from federal service and have not yet met your minimum retirement age, you will lose your federal health insurance, you will not be able to start collecting your pension until age 62 and you will not be eligible for the FERS supplement. It is not a smart move.

this isn’t true. Do not take retirement advice from DCUM!
