As of the latest count, over 40,000 federal employees have taken the buyout offer from the Trump administration, a significant but insufficient number compared to their goal. The White House initially anticipated that between 100,000 and 200,000 employees would opt for the buyout, representing 5-10% of the federal workforce. Complicating matters, a federal judge recently delayed the buyout deadline amid concerns and lawsuits from labor unions, leaving many federal workers uncertain about the continuity of pay and benefits under this offer.
The Trump administration’s buyout offer has attracted over 40,000 federal workers, but the number still falls short of initial estimations of between 100,000 and 200,000 resignations.
Employment experts emphasize that past trends suggest only a fraction of federal employees may be inclined to accept such buyout offers, which typically see a 6% attrition rate.
