I don’t think they can trust that they will be able to continue to receive their paycheck while not having to work much, giving them cushion to job hunt, but since everything else we’ve heard has come to fruition it seems like they’re getting fired anyway. Might as well take the option that may give them a cushion. It might not, they might just get fired in the end anyway but the possibility is better than nothing. Like Pascal’s wager.

They don’t get that this is coming from Elon Musk who doesn’t know how anything works. It’s pissing me off that leadership won’t say this plainly or at least advise that no one should choose this option before consulting an attorney.

Government employees know a lot about government benefits and forms and aren't going to up and quit without a lot more formal explanation and paperwork. The only ones who are going to leave are the ones who are eligible to retire between now and September anyhow, the ones who are truly remote and RTO would be basically impossible, and the ones who would be quitting in the next couple of months for other reasons. They are definitely not going to get 5-10% of the workforce (which sucks for everyone else, it probably means they will definitely fire all the provisional employees, for example, to boost the numbers they will want to crow about).
Not verified, but I heard that trump set a team to OPM, and they installed a drive, send the emails from OPM’s servers, and then left. This email did not come directly from and was not cleared by OPM.
