The LARGEST LAYOFF NOTICE IN HISTORY HAS JUST BEEN HANDED OUT!

2 million government workers received notice this week by the Office of Personnel Management that they would be required to to return to the office for work or forfeit their jobs. But the legality of this mandate is already being challenged and there is a lot of uncertainty surrounding this. However, what people need to realize is that most of these people may end up losing their job anyways due to the Trump administration cutting government spending and this may end up being one of the large layoff notice in history

Yea not, what everyone is leaving out is the deal was 8 months of paid vacation. They don't have to go to work. Which is really saving lots of money (irony). The plan is to pay thousands of federal workers to not work for 8 months, while they get second jobs or they were transitional employees to begin with, or they were close enough to retirement. And yes, they can take the 8 months vacation and retire at the end of it. A lot of temp and terms (nomadic fed employees) only work for stints in the government, they will all gladly take 8 months of paid leave. This is a dumb policy.

With all that and the fact that our insurance and taxes are lower here as well, we're saving thousands annually. We built a chicken coop and have fresh eggs daily and roosters in the freezer. We also installed a woodstove and started doing forestry management by clearing dead and diseased trees. All those trees are stacked in neat piles ready to keep us warm. We haven't turned on our central heat in almost 4 years. We also made this 30 year old house tight with insulation, radiant barrier, weather stripping and new windows. It hasn't been easy.

It isn’t a “layoff notice.” It’s a voluntary deferred resignation without having to return to the office before the resignation date of 9/30/2025. Basically, federal employees are getting the opportunity to get about 8 months severance pay instead of returning to the office. If they don’t take the offer, then they still have their jobs and will simply have to go back to work like they did pre-pandemic. The last time there was a threat of a reduction in force (layoffs) in the federal workforce, OPM simply offered voluntary early retirement incentives that flushed out most of the older workers. They could do the same thing today very effectively.

All these issues stem from an economy grappling with uncertainties, including housing problems,foreclosures, global fluctuations, and the aftermath of the pandemic, leading to instability.

In retirement, safeguarding your wealth against inflation is essential. Consider options like TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), commodities, or foreign currencies to hedge against a weakening dollar. Diversifying your portfolio with global real estate, international bonds, or high-quality foreign stocks can provide additional protection and growth opportunities in an inflationary environment.

I'm not saying the government (or private companies) don't have bs worthless positions, just that sidewalk inspector is a bad example.
