White House expecting 'spike' in federal resignations as at least 20K take buyouts
Briefly

The White House expects a 'spike' in federal resignations as the deadline for a buyout offer approaches. With nearly all federal employees receiving buyout offers to return to in-office work after extended remote work due to COVID-19, a White House official indicated that a surge in 'deferred resignations' is imminent. Currently, it is reported that approximately 20,000 employees have accepted the offer, with the administration aiming for a leaner, more efficient workforce, as many anticipate not returning to their roles under the new requirement.
The number of deferred resignations is rapidly growing, and we're expecting the largest spike 24 to 48 hours before the deadline.
We think a very substantial number of people will not show up to work, and, therefore, our government will get smaller and more efficient.
The buyouts do not apply to a considerable fraction of the government workforce, leading to significant employee turnover before the deadline.
Roughly 20,000 federal employees have reportedly taken the buyout offer, highlighting the response to the new requirement of in-office work.
