The resignation letter in the email I received said none of this. If it's not in the thing you are agreeing to do not believe it.


Yes, my only hesitation is the uncertainty of what I'm agreeing to. It's clear that these EOs, letters, etc are written by people with no policy or contract experience.

If you want to separate do it in your own terms, you will get all your unused annual leave paid out but will give up your sick leave. I'm working on that now. Normally when a kid is sick I would use annual leave to deal with it, now any appointments or home sick I'm using up sick leave. I will last as long as I can.... but when it's time to go I'm out. Unless they offer actual good early retirement options.


They will offer early retirement once serious people are installed in OPM. Right now the government isn't shrinking because big tech executive egos are in the way.

Some probably signed already.

People keep saying that but to me it's obvious. It's admin leave so it comes from S&B, which is already funded.

Propaganda


No, I'm a real person. The number of people with circumstances similar to mine is vanishingly small so I don't think my situation would work well for propaganda. I've already been on the fence about continuing in the government for various reasons that have nothing to do with politics. I've enjoyed my career and just considering leaving while the party is still fun.


If you trust Elon Musk will pay you to do jack then just send them the resignation email. So few people are going to do it that they might highlight your situation in the next OPM email blast.

They aren't going to pay you. They have no legal authority to make those payments and they aren't even signing an agreement with you that they will. Once you resign, you are gone.

I don't trust Elon to pay me. I trust that the money is already obligated against my FTE. All they have to do is not *remove* that obligation. Look, I'm not a dummy, I've been in the government a long time and am very senior. There are a lot of questions left open in the email, but the budget is a no brainer.

Good luck with that if you stay in the DC area. I wouldn't hire anyone who voted for trump and I have sneaky ways of finding out an applicant's political leaning.

It's still true that there's a sucker born every minute and, apparently, they all believe Trump and Musk.

It's not obligated against your FTE. It couldn't possibly be because no money past March 14 has even been appropriated. And when people resign, they don't get paid anymore no matter whether the money was there or not because it's not legal to pay salaries to people who are no longer employees.

Don't listen to this logical explanation, trust your instincts pp and send that resignation email like you sent that $500 to the Nigerian prince last time.

It’s not leave, you still have to work!

I dunno, i have some elderly relatives working in the govt and they probably want to take it rather than come in to work 5 times a week. Sounds like a pretty decent deal to me. The private sector doesn't give anything this good.

The budget is not a "no brainer".

I think the “party” is over.
Buh bye.

I will wait for a real letter from the real OPM with actual funded severance. I don’t have a spouse making 7 figures .
