The federal Office of Personnel Management's proposal for a deferred resignation package to encourage worker departures appears to be less effective than initially anticipated. Despite Elon Musk's prediction that 5-10% of federal workers might leave, only 65,000, or about 3% of the 2.3 million federal workforce (excluding military and Postal Service), indicated an intent to resign. This represents a typical scale of turnover with about 150,000 employees leaving annually for various reasons, highlighting the ongoing turnover within this vast workforce.
Elon Musk's estimate that a deferred resignation package could entice 5-10% of federal workers to leave seems exaggerated, as only 3% have resigned thus far.
The federal government has a large workforce experiencing regular turnover, with significant numbers of employees leaving for various reasons, including retirement and disciplinary actions.
As of now, more than 65,000 federal workers have indicated an intent to resign, which is about 3% of the total workforce of 2.3 million.
Each year, about 150,000 federal workers voluntarily leave their positions, apart from the 240,000 hires made to replace those who depart.
