Federal employee unions and attorneys are cautioning workers against the Trump administration's 'deferred resignation program' offer, emphasizing that it resembles a forced resignation rather than a voluntary buyout. Confusion prevailed among federal employees due to unclear messaging from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM), which left doubts about working requirements post-resignation. While the offer suggested that accepting it would exempt participants from return-to-office mandates, the lack of clarity led to widespread discontent and uncertainty amongst federal workers, raising concerns about its implications.
This 'fork' thing is not a buyout. It's not based on any law or regulation or anything really other than an idea they cooked up to get federal employees out of the government.
The original OPM memo was unclear on whether employees who choose to resign would be expected to work between now and Sept. 30.
