Under the influence of Musk's allies in the Office of Personnel Management, federal workers received an email highlighting a push for a new 'performance culture.' The letter urged them to consider quitting in exchange for payment through September, raising concerns about potential downsizing and job security. The historical context relates to Musk's previous actions at Twitter, where promises of severance fell short, leading to skepticism among federal employee unions and lawmakers regarding the true implications of this new directive.
The email, scooped by Axios, gave federal workers nine days to quit and be paid through September or embrace a new 'performance culture'.
Some unions and Democratic lawmakers have urged workers not to take the buyouts. 'If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you,' Sen. Tim Kaine warned.
