I'm confused though. Is this buyout-not-buyout legal? Or will it be enjoined too?

It’s not as good as if they officially RIF you. If you wait for the government to lay you off, you will be given more than this.
Unless you are retiring or you really can’t figure out RTO, it doesn’t make much sense

It is a trick.
That's how it read to me.
Hope someone has already lawyered up and taken them up on it.

Telling the PTO to RTO is bizarre. They've had a unique hoteling arrangement for decades, nothing to do with the pandemic or anything else. Only a dolt would tell them to go back in the building.

Many federal employees are fine with being back in the office. The ones who aren't are disproportionately represented here. Though I admit, they don't represent the federal workforce well.
