Buyouts have been done be it large corporations like Canadian National Railway Company to lower the employs. I think they are offering several months pay. Good idea if it is done legally.
Seems a culling of the herd is in order.
August 2024, 10% of federal employees work fully remotely and 54% worked fully on-site because their jobs required in-person presence.
There are 2.28 million federal government employees, OMB says.
The remaining 46%, about 1.1 million employees, were telework-eligible, meaning they could work remotely unless they chose to go into the office. Only 10% of employees were in fully remote roles, because they lacked a physical office to report to.
That’s an understatement.
The only problem I have with it is people getting paid with taxpayer money until September.,.,., for doing nothing.
I am surprised by this offer, it is not very Trump’ish.
But it has Musk all over it.
The reason severance is typically issued, is to gain a signature on a release form. In order to get the severance, you need to waive your right to legal action pertaining to your employment and employment separation. Very common in the corporate world.
On one of the last times they “shutdown” the government they were forced to send 850,000 non-essential, their words not mine, home.
Think about that for a second or so. 850,000 non-essential workers.
Why in the heck do we have any nonessential federal employees?
