Trump invites nearly all federal workers to quit now, get paid through September
Briefly

The Trump administration has provided nearly all federal employees the option to resign with full pay and benefits until September 30. This opportunity, communicated via an email from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, must be accepted by February 6. The aim seems tied to a broader strategy of returning workers to the office while addressing uncertainties surrounding their positions. Critics of this move suggest it's part of a tactic to encourage career employees to leave, thus facilitating the hiring of political loyalists, a point echoed by Trump adviser Elon Musk in prior statements.
