Some of you will be able to remain in your cushy govt jobs, working harder, in-person, and under more supervision. Many of you will simply be laid off.

Take the 9 month severance or leave it. But you can’t stop what’s coming.

Good. Probably half the feds “working from home” are sitting on DCUM all day.

They won’t pay you. They are liars.

The email read like a complete lie, like something someone who's never had any experience in government imagines the government can do, but can't actually do.

It's been pointed out that the email is very similar to one that was sent out at Twitter when Muskrat took over, even down to the email subject line.

Go ahead and get your retirement plans in, but whatever you do, don't reply to any of these weird OPM emails.

This! They are not known to keep their word.

I would not take that deal! And once fired I would file wrongful termination class action suit! Just type resign doesn’t sound like contract binding in any way. No thanks!

No. They don’t care if you find another job. This is President Musk we are talking about. He doesn’t care.

This is happening because the new administration wants to completely shut down/delete the government by getting rid of all federal employees so the United States is a dictatorship.

All Maga cult followers should be very concerned.

It is not a buyout. You may still have to work from home until Sept. if you take the deal. You're just agreeing to quit in Sept. may still have to work the whole time.

Apparently Elon crafted nearly an identical email for Twitter. Such a dirty, dirty move
.

Why is it dirty? Federal employees didn't work from home before Covid.

Yes, telework was a thing pre-covid.

But there’s no longer a quorum since the NLRB is down to two people. They are very strategic. Total dismantle of government, piece by piece.

The NLRB deals with private sector unions, so they would have nothing to do with this.

The organization you're thinking of is likely the Federal Labor Relations Authority (FLRA). They handle labor relations for federal employees. Another related entity is the Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB), which focuses on protecting civil service merit systems against abuses and ensuring federal employment matters are handled fairly and with due process.

It's really a trap and I doubt it's legal.

If they want me gone they can do a RIF with severance pay.

This.

Anyone considering this should consult an attorney to evaluate the terms BEFORE they accept.

It’s worth the few thousand dollars to make sure you don’t get totally screwed.
