Summary
Trump’s administration is offering federal employees a “deferred resignation” option, allowing them to resign by Feb. 6 while retaining pay and benefits until Sept. 30.
The move is part of Trump’s broader effort to reshape the federal workforce, alongside a return-to-office mandate, hiring freeze, and diversity office closures.
Employees who stay are not guaranteed job security.
Critics, including Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA), argue the program is legally dubious and could leave workers unpaid, calling it a deceptive tactic to shrink government staff.
This is because they don’t have the power to fire anyone.
The government unions won’t allow it.
Also people will not be paid for this, they can’t come up with the money and even if they do Trump doesn’t pay his debts
Don’t quit, don’t comply
