It’s not a lump sum. It’s 8 months severance. |

| I wonder if my two Trumper neighbors are taking it. One is scheduled to retire in 2026 and one in 2027. |

Sounds like you would be on admin leave for several months then to skirt the $25K cap? |

| And if I take the severance and then we have a shutdown? Then what? Do we receive back pay? Sheeeeeeiiiit |

Why they want to do that before cutting programs and/or improving efficiency? What's the goal of simply reducing headcount?
What would they do if there will be not enough employees to do the job? They have to hire new people, or they don't care and let everything fall apart. |

| If they don’t get enough resignations, RIFs are coming. |

RIFs are coming regardless. |

| This is insane. Question for me is- how would this buyout interact with retirement options for retirement-eligible feds? |

I don’t think anyone knows. If they’re truly offering 8 months of salary, which I kind of doubt, this would be something entirely new, so there’s no precedent to look to to answer your question. |

Emails will start tonight and trickle out from there |
