It's not actually a buyout. It's a promise to pay them exactly how much they would make to work for 6 more months and then quit. But they can't quit before then. Also they need to let them know by next week. Also also, there will be no additional severance pay.
Break it, then claim it's not working and only you can fix it, straight out of the fascist playbook
So what happens when every employee in the IRS takes the offer, quits immediately and goes home?
They will not pay or it will be pennies on the dollar of their salary. This is some political theater
True, but my point was directed more towards "where will the Gub be getting its money from?"
Rich people like raiding government coffers because there's lots of free money there.

Someone on reddit pointed out there’s an OPM rule that makes max payout at something like $25k. Let me go dig it up real quick.
Because that means a lot of people wouldn’t get paid the full amount and Trump is absolutely the kind of person who would use shit like that as an excuse to not keep paying out. I wouldn’t trust this deal because based on stuff like this it doesn’t pass the sniff test.
Apologies for (slight retch) a reddit link:
zedextol:
Per OPM, the federal government can’t legally pay more than $25k, pre-tax. This is another scam. Trump is the literal master of grift. You think he’s gonna make good on this debt after years of not paying his bills?

Fuck up the system enough to make it fail.
Reinstall what you need with only Party loyalists.
Now you control the system.
It's a good thing this guy always pays his debts otherwise some might think this is a dirt trick.
he always sometimes pays when it's with someone else's money.
Is this president wankpanzer firing people that he will regret to have fired and then rehire them again, again?!
Just going to leave this here

This kind of stupid blanket approach tells you that we have idiots running this country who have no idea what these workers are actually doing, nor what the impact will be of them resigning on the well being and national security of the country.
