Elon Musk's initiative offering federal workers a financial incentive to resign has created significant uncertainty among the large workforce of over 2 million. Many employees fear the implications of this offer, suspecting it may be a tactic to identify disloyal workers. The Trump administration, seeking to reshape the federal landscape, argues that this program is a cost-saving measure and a rare opportunity for employees to leave with financial support. However, looming layoffs and the message of required loyalty heighten the anxiety among federal workers as the deadline for resignations approaches.
The deferred resignation program is part of Trump's plan to remake the federal government, weakening what allies describe as the 'deep state' that undermined the Republican president during his first term.
Administration officials said they can save taxpayer money by presenting employees with 'a valuable, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity' to stop working while still collecting a paycheck until Sept. 30.
