The Trump administration is pushing a deferred resignation program for federal workers, offering a buyout that would keep employees paid until the end of September despite their resignation by February. Legal concerns have emerged, as only about 20,000 federal workers, less than 1% of the total, have accepted the offer, far below the White House's target of 10%. With a rapidly approaching deadline, agencies like the GSA have begun to send urgent messages about potential layoffs and performance changes, intensifying pressure on employees amidst ongoing criticisms by Democrats and labor groups.
Federal workers face an urgent deadline to accept a controversial buyout program, with only 20,000 out of 2.3 million showing interest, raising concerns about legality.
The GSA warns of imminent layoffs and a drastic reduction in workforce, tying performance standards to new agency priorities ahead of the buyout deadline.
