Trump administration adds fine print to "Fork" resignation offer, deepening confusion
Briefly

Federal employees have been presented with a resignation offer that allows them to retain pay and benefits until September if they resign by Feb. 6. As the deadline approaches, revised contract agreements have created added uncertainty. The new terms require some to work until Feb. 28, contrary to earlier communications that suggested no work was necessary. The implications of government funding and the binding nature of these contracts remain unclear, further complicating the decision for federal workers.
"The unclear terms and changing language create frustration among federal employees who face a tough decision while receiving mixed messages from the government."
"Some contracts state that employees who accept the 'Fork' offer must work through Feb. 28, which was not mentioned in the initial communication from OPM."
