Trump offers buyouts to fed workers who resign by Feb. 6

The White House is offering buyouts to all federal employees who leave their jobs by the end of next week. In his push to cut the size of the federal workforce, President Trump is dangling seven months of salary and benefits in front of any government worker who resigns by February 6. According to a Trump administration memo, the buyout offer is described as a “dignified, fair departure.” Anyone who participates in the deferred resignation program will retain all pay and benefits until the end of September.
