The Trump administration took its first major step toward reducing the number of federal workers. But how will it impact the wider job market if hundreds of thousands of employees accept a “deferred resignation” offer?

@johnclark6064 what they want is to get rid of administrative apparatus in the government. You rely every day on this administrative apparatus to make sure that the water you drink isn't toxic or the house you live in is built by code and doesn't use toxic materials that will make you and your family sick with cancer. Federal employees check on local governments and developers to make sure that proper health and safety procedures are followed. Without that your life will be cut in half. That's just one example of what federal government does for you. There is so much work being done behind the scenes to make sure you don't get screwed by the profit and business class. That's why they want to get rid of the federal employees. So they can make more money by cutting corners and doing things faster at detriment to the environment health and safety.

Pay and benefits for federal workers was 8.3% of the budget in 2023, out of 6.1 trillion. The average labor cost percentage for businesses typically ranges from 20% to 35% of gross sales, depending on the industry. Federal workers seem like a bargain.

Reduce the complications and let them go. Federal government employees peaked n 1990 at 4.4 million employees. In 1950 the executive branch had 1439 people in 2020 it had a lot more.

Existing regulations do not allow for buyouts. There is a provision for severance pay when you are dismissed in a reduction in force. Management does not have the authority to put employees on extended administrative leave. Resignations normally can be withdrawn at will unless the agency has filled your position or by formal action eliminated your position. A hiring freeze would not prevent an employee from withdrawing a resignation. As a former HR manager, this plan is not grounded in reality. It appears to be the idea of people who do not understand the actual work of the civil service.

There agencies are supposed to provide congress each year with efficiency metrics. only three provided data out of the 438 plus agencies that use wfh, hybrid and telework. You have multiple employees that admit on open forums about hiring their friends, supervisors wives and other things, you have employees admit that their co workers are lazy and they hate they can't be fired. Yet you want count cunt hairs; ok i will say some. are you happy. you must be a government worker. sorry i offended you.

And, they make very good money. Usually 6 figures.

DO NOT resign. If you resign, you cannot get unemployment. Stay and let them fire you. Then all of those who agree to this foolishness will see that no money is being saved as the feds will have to pay unemployment insurance. Do not RESIGN!!!

How stupid are you? Unemployment is about 1k max a week depending on your wage. It could be as little as $100 a week for about 26 weeks. The offer is full pay for 8 months and benefits. 😂😂 great advice, America will save more if they get fired. #just fire them and save more.

[@taydestiny38]

Exactly….they are trying to scare you into leaving. Stand firm and don’t panic! Make them move you, if they are so desperate for your job.

[@kelvinw.1384]

There is no such thing as unemployment for Federal employees btw

[@GodBlessAmerica55]

​@taydestiny38 They have a removal process called a RIF. This is nothing new.

[@GodBlessAmerica55]

Since unemployment is a state program, I don't believe federal employees get unemployment. It's best to take the offer because many will be RIF'd.

Opening the mouth wider than necessary to speak is a red flag

[@kingoffacebook8178]

This guy is warping this issue because he doesn’t like it or Trump. He underestimates how many workers in the Federal Govt. have been waiting for this. I was in for 22 years, workers have been waiting for this for a long time. Workers on Admin leave status won’t be called back. Most have a Thrift Savings plan they can cash out to go along with the eight months of pay.

[@brendataylor8388]

Hilarious this dude is worried about federal employees getting “screwed”. What about the taxpayers?🤦🏼‍♀️

[@wadeobrigewitch6494]

I hear there's coding, car wash and farm work

[@interpol9871]

It’s a scam

[@Stephen-fe8bq]

All 2 million can leave! 😉
