[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some will take it.
You definitely are overlooking that fed offices are filled with mid level young parents who are looking at summer break and eyeing this offer as a rare opportunity to take a paid summer vacay with their kids, not shell out money for daycare, and then spend most of August interviewing for jobs in private sector. 
There are also plenty of young GenZers who wouldn’t mind taking a paycheck to stay home for a few months or travel or even immediately get a new job and take double salary until September. And getting  new job will be easy if they choose a super liberal company and just blame their departure on “yeah I had to get out of that Trump sh!$show…” 
This is a terrible move by Elon/Trump but I don’t think it will land as flat as people think.
There will be some takers. 5-7%[/quote]

[b]Except it’s not a “paid summer vacay.” it literally by its terms is “deferred resignation.”  You *still have to work* the whole time.[/b] It has zero benefits. [/quote]

It's not leave, it's just working remotely.

No, they are genuinely putting out guidance that says you will go on admin leave once you transition duties. Our agency has specifically directed us to the OPM Q&As that say that. The agency is working on its own guidance including the internal paperwork that you will actually signed to effectuate your deferred resignation, but it does look like this is more akin to a buyout than the original email made it sound like. Whether they'll stick to the deal, it's binding, it will be funded by Congress, etc are all legitimate questions, but it does look like the intention is that you won't work. Several of my employees (including one who was planning to retire anyway, but wants to use the pause to look for her post-retirement contracting job) have already indicated interest. I don't think 5-10% is unreasonable, especially at agencies whose employees fear being targeted. (I am not at such an agency and have heard interest nonetheless.)[/quote]

+1.  There’s an OPM transmittal that provides additional information (and a Q&A) that specifies your duties are reassigned and you’re on admin leave.[/quote]

Suggests, not specifies.[/quote]
