The Trump administration has proposed a plan allowing about two million federal employees the option to resign but continue receiving their salaries until September 30. This initiative, termed 'Fork in the Road,' has faced criticism from Democrats and unions, who warn of potential chaos for citizens dependent on government services. Employees accepting the offer will no longer have job duties, though some may be required to help transition responsibilities. The deadline for acceptance is February 6, adding urgency to the decision for many workers.
The Trump administration's initiative to offer two million federal employees a deferred resignation option aims to significantly reduce the federal workforce amidst widespread criticism.
The plan, labeled a 'Fork in the Road,' allows federal staff to resign and receive a salary until September 30, raising concerns over public service disruptions.
Critics argue the large-scale departure of federal employees could lead to chaos for constituents relying heavily on government services, emphasizing the disruption this could cause.
The Office of Personnel Management's communication outlined that resigning employees will not have immediate job duties but may still be engaged in rare transition tasks.
