They’re not eligible to take it.

Is this true ?

Can probationary employees take the offered deal ?

This is not guaranteed. That’s the issue, not just for probationary, but for all feds.

DP. True, but hopefully managers are telling those employees what the likelihood of staying on is, because Fork might be reasonable for them if they're going to be fired. They don't have many protections.

5% of federal employees retire every year, for context on how badly this has failed. They couldn't even get a fifth of the retirees to sign up.

Honestly, if they want to fire me they're going to have to do it that way. I'm not making it easy for them to destroy my organization.

I know more than a single person who does. I don't. But I know of people who are taking this deal and seem to trust it. All fellow lawyers.

Good try, Doge Incel.

Where's the proof on the 20,000 figure? We'll wait.

Honestly, anyone who is dumb enough to take this deal probably shouldn't be employed in a position of public trust.

Managers have no idea. I think no one inside the agencies has any idea what will happen to probationary employees

Managers have no clue what the likelihood of staying on is. Absolutely zero. And neither do the managers’ managers. This insanity is unprecedented.

If you’ve been in your position for less than a year, you should have taken the fork! Per alt natl park service, “OPM is planning to fire all employees on probation (less than one year of employment). Agencies have until noon on Wednesday to submit a list of probationary employees to the Office of Personnel Management and indicate whether they wish to retain them—though it has been stated that this will not make a difference.”

As Office Director, I’d never say anything like that because I do not know. Nobody should be saying things like that.

Or they realize it will be a $hitshow if they try do that so this is just another example of pressure to get people to voluntarily give up their rights and jobs.

Unions have already said they’ll sue if Elon does this.

No closing signatures on emails, no letterhead on correspondence, can’t believe people are taking it seriously.

Because it looks like a horrible deal with no legal backing.

They could have just offered a regular government retirement buyout through the standard channels and would have probably been overwhelmed by a lot of takers.
Now people are just insulted and angry.
