Wouldn't the normal severance package be much better for long-term employees anyway?

One week of pay for the first ten years, two weeks for each year after that. Times 2.5% for every three months over the age of 40.

No

He has a history of not paying workers, but he’s hired after they’ve done the work so yeah I wouldn’t trust it either.

He won’t actually pay. Where do the funds come from?

So he can say he reduced the payroll and use it as an excuse for his tax cut.

Is the maximum payment really $25k?

If that article is true, then you have to decide by next Thursday.

I would love to see any journalist push back on that BS 6% number.

That's nice if you have enough years of federal service and / or can afford to retire before you are 70.

If I had just a few more years of federal service I would jump at that offer.

I saw that too. Has anyone actually received an offer?

I hate these people, but they did do this in a smart way, first making it clear how miserable it's gonna be to stay, then this.

Crazy. I bet they get a lot of takers
