In a recent initiative reminiscent of Elon Musk's strategies at Twitter, the Trump administration has introduced a deferred resignation program for federal employees. The plan, effective until September 2025, offers nearly eight months' salary and benefits for resignations tendered by February 6. However, confusion remains among workers regarding whether resigning employees will be expected to work afterward. Union leaders, including the president of the American Federation of Government Employees, warn that the program may incentivize experienced workers to leave, jeopardizing government services during a critical funding period that ends March 14. Critics view the offer as problematic and misleading.
