That's not true for my program.

I don't believe the supposed 20,000+ who have taken the buyout.

I think that so few have taken it that they leaked the false story to make people think "oh crap! if 20k took it, i should too!"

We have 237 people and are keeping an internal manual count. We have 2, both newish hires who are young.

I don't have anyone on my team that is taking it. May husband knows two folks who were going to retire this year who are taking it. I believe the 20,000 number, more than that would have been retiring this year. My guess is that most of 20,000 are retirees.

Technically those who take the Fork will be paid either way.

Its all BS fake numbers. What they should really do is not fill positions that retired. This would easily give you well over 4% RIF, without the bloodshed....but wait, they want blood shed, otherwise there is no pleasure for MAGA

I didn’t know anyone taking it before yesterday, but my agency offered VERA contingent on fork and now I know of a handful who are seriously considering it.

[Anonymous]

Not waiting. I'm not taking it.

[Anonymous]

I don't know anyone who is even considering taking the fork.

I know a handful of people who are eligible and would love to take the VERA but they will not take it if it's tied to the fork so ...

Everyone I know is just ignoring the emails. There's nothing there for them.

The updated fork faw guidance cleared up al lot of questions for my relative who was considering retiring this year and will take fork today or tomorrow.

[Anonymous]

Nah. Wouldn't take it.

Do not believe you, OP.

i think Musk will follow up with a hammer next week - mass firing. And maybe offer Fork II after that for a brief window (like a week or less).

I know one person taking Fork, and they were retiring in the fall anyway. She has the the correct age and years of service anyway for the standard early retirement.

You haven't heard anyone taking it because you are WFH most likely. In the office, there's a lot more talk of folks taking the offer.
