If you are going to retire anyway there is no reason to take this deal.

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.

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?

I hope everyone from a federal regulatory agency goes to work directly for the companies they regulate, continues to collect money from the feds, and then sues the sh*t out of the federal government based on this email. Let the FDA people work for the pharmaceutical companies, the EPA people work for DuPont, the HHS people work for United...

Fed works should do everything as slow as possible. Let them see what low productivity really looks like.

Yes, listen to this fool. If you think this won't be noticed now, you are an idiot. It's not grandpa Biden's world any longer.

You sound truly deranged

I personally wouldn’t. There’s no guarantee there will actually be funding gf or this and I’d be concerned it could affect your pension.
Michelle Singletary at the WaPo actually wrote a decent article about this.

Yeah and I bet those jobs require in office 5 days a week.

No lawyer works 5 days a week in the office anymore.

+1. Trump’s RTO 5 days a week and bashing of feds is just red meat he sends to his very low info supporters while he screws them and grifts. I am a lawyer for a nationwide firm with large office in DC and work a lot from home. We are encouraged to go 3 days a week but actual people go when they can/need/want. I work with teams that are in NY and LA a lot, and two partners in DC who work from home most of the time so spending time in front or my computer in my home office or in my downtown office does not make any difference. The firm cares that i bill a lot of time, where they could not care less

the difference between legal work and most gov work is night and day.

creative work is great for working from home, being able to close a door and focus on creating something is perfect for work from home.

Boring, drudgery, work is not so good for working from home. and many if not most people will find ways to do less if not forced to do the work.

if FEDs want to work from home, quit and find a job in the private sector. easy solution.

The conversation has moved on from RTO. None of the feds I know GAF about 5 days in the office. We are now far more concerned with government data being pillaged and exposed by the dumb bros at DOGE, who aren’t elected or vetted for access.

Why do you think most government work is boring/drudgery?

The reporting now says that only 20k have taken the offer and deep cuts are likely if more do not accept. Is a RIF better than this deferred resignation?

[Anonymous]

Do NOT take the buyout! The reason they want you to take the buyout is because they don't want to terminate you and there's a specific RIF process.

Here are the RIF guidelines and what you'd be entitled to:

Assuming they pay severence and pay everyone through Sept. a RIF would be better if you have more than 15 years of experience or so depending on age.

The problem is that you are calling this a "deferred resignation. " It is not.

Ask instead: "Is a RIF better than popping my own joints out of socket so I can stab myself in the back with this fork, and how long will it take for me to bleed out?"
