Already on the WH website. Where are they getting these numbers?!?!

Increasing employee contributions to the federal pension system, projected to save $44 billion over a decade.

Eliminating supplemental pensions for retirees aged 57 to 62.

Basing pensions on the final five years of service, rather than the last three, reducing payouts.

Transitioning federal health insurance to a voucher model.-WHAT IS THIS?

Unions and collective bargaining
Efforts to weaken federal unions are central to the administration’s goals. A memo circulated by the conservative group Americans for Tax Reform outlines plans to limit collective bargaining rights, citing a 1978 law allowing exclusions for “national security concerns.”

Recommendations include restricting union protections at agencies like the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Defense Department.

Every employee would get a flat amount towards insurance instead of covering a percentage of whatever you choose the way it is now. Not sure if they would cover more for family plans or not.

NYTimes reporting, in summary fashion, that federal worker related EO will “require some agencies to return 4-5 days a week.”

If the summary is correct, they seem to be backing off the strict 5 days everyone back in, perhaps to allow for some of the union CBAs, allowing their appointees to work partially remote, etc..

We will see soon enough

FFS, you dcum fools really don't understand that there could be a lot more at stake here than you having to go downtown and work in something other than your pajamas...

Did you see that bizarre thing about vouchers for fed health insurance that makes no sense but sure as hell isn't good? Who knows what dreams may come...
