Trump buyout: resign by Feb 6, get paid until Sept 30

Anonymous
No wonder they don’t even know how to write an email.

It’s all lies and getting you to give up your rights. It guarantees nothing. And I don’t know a soul taking this at SSA—most see it very clearly for what it is—a trap. It does not say you will get paid and don’t have to work. It says you won’t be called into the office and they can fire you before Sept. It’s not a buy out. Reading is fundamental.

Trump doesn’t pay his bills. These people won’t get paid

Tech and finance bros behind OPM looking like it is run by a bunch of monkeys:

Amanda Scales (OPM Chief of Staff)

Brian Bjelde (HR Exec from SpaceX)

Riccardo Biasini (Exec from Boring Co)

Anthony Armstrong (Exec from Morgan Stanley)

Steve Davis (DOGE and on detail to GSA)

Baris Akis (Turkish-born Silicon Valley exec who graduated from Stanford in 2016)

Thomas Shedd (Tesla software engineer, Director of Technology Transformation Services at GSA)

Edward Coristine (19 years old)


Very impressive, and refreshing we need the best and brightest genz in the government


Hate to break it to you, but the Tide pod eating generation with a lifetime of TikTok brain comes off as being as intelligent as you expect they would. They're writing emails that read as if they had a steady diet of lead paint chips as kids.


It's obviously the drugs a certain tech bro subset are taking. AI is not smart enough to compensate for drug addled brains.

I will defend GenZ. There are some bright kids in GenZ. However, no one should start their career at the top. No one is that bright. This is clearly evident by these emails.

You destroy federal workforce morale, hiring is frozen, people who can't afford to be distracted by anything become distracted and are overworked, the military is freaked out, and the next thing you know a military helicopter accidentally offs a whole jet full of.civilians.

It's only week two of the Trump administration.

He thinks it’s a great deal. I don’t know what to think (I’m not a fed and I’m much younger than him so nowhere near retirement)

Any thoughts?


Looks good to know. I know a few folks that are going to take it.

Ridiculous take. Thanks for nothing.
Well then, why would anyone competent think it was a good idea to name the memo 'a fork in the road'?

The same title as the twitter buyout memo? Everyone could easily find out that the twitter employees who took the buyout never got paid.

Because the emotionally stunted tech bros think they are the absolute smartest people EVER and no one would ever be able to do a hint of due diligence and find out that they are actually full of s***.
The grownups are not in charge. It's Lord of the f-ing Flies.

The only good reason to take it is if you are ok with knowing you will likely (1) have to work or (2) not get paid. So if a person was going to retire anyway, it may be worth the risk, as if you have to work, you can just move up your retirement date. So for your husband, he is not risking much and potentially getting paid not to work.

Beyond that, I do not see how you could even look for a job given your agency can require you to work the entire time and there are ethics rules about what other jobs you can take. Between there being no signed budget, the threat of budget cuts, and the rules on limits on using admin leave, it seems unlikely people will actually get paid not to work.

The new list of FAQs looks like not even a high schooler wrote it.

Am i allowed to get a second job during the deferred resignation Period

Absolutely! We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so. The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.

Can i Take an extended vacation while on administrative leave

You are most welcome stay at home and relax or to travel to your dream destination. Whatever you would like.

And my favorite one is

Will I really get my full pay and benefits during the entire period through September 30, even if I get a second job?
