lol, lmao even
Been said before, but a speed run of the collapse of the American Empire was supposed to take years, not months. This is next level tech and hopefully we can see a Project 2025 ghoul at this year’s SGDQ
I said so many fucking times that if Elon comes in and does DOGE and fires 30% of the US states’ workforce in “cost savings” like he did at X the entire machine will come to a grinding halt.
I can’t fucking believe they’re actually doing it.
The funny thing is, this could have been an attractive option to people who were Medicare eligible and close to retirement, if Trump didn’t just grind entitlements to a screeching halt.
generally most of the reason for staying in a GS rated position is the benefits, including the pension which is calculated based on years of service.
it isn’t like tech douche start up world where it’s all salary and stove-piped stock options and a maniacal boss who can terminate medical insurance at a whim.
there simply aren’t enough political appointees to oversee and pressure people to leave without an actual pension buyout including healthcare, which would balloon the shit out of costs, which would over what these agencies have in their budgets. which would require added funding from congress… good luck selling that as efficiency.
there’s a reason they are saying “paid through September” because that’s all the funding they have to work with, since that’s the end of the federal fiscal calendar.
honestly, I bet they don’t even get 5% of the workforce to take the bait, even making it so easy to resign with Musk’s auto-resign-by-email app, which probably fails some HR paperwork requirement of a legit digital signature.
Musk’s auto-resign-by-email app
Someone could do something really fucking funny if they can trick it into accepting incorrect emails.
they’re finally shutting it down to figure out what’s going on
It’s not even a buyout, it’s a you get to keep teleworking but you voluntarily resign by September.
King of deals, at it again
Oh it’s telework till September and not PTO till September? Waaay worse deal fuck that
It’s unclear, the email that was sent reads like what I said but OPM released a memo that says they should be put on admin leave unless needed to continue critical work or transfer responsibilities which is to be determined by agency which lol means you’ll be working still.

Niche French social media platform Hexbear.net to acquire US Postal Service
“Basically, what we want the world to hear is that we’re going postal,” site representative Lyudmila Pavlyuchenkova told CNN’s Jake Tapper. With the Press Secretary position once again unoccupied, the Trump Administration has again muddied the water by posting wildly different accounts and conflicting information to supporters on Truth Social and X (formerly Twitter), reflecting a phenomenon the White House has repeatedly refused to comment on following the rumored rift between the Musk and Trump camps within the administration.
It would be so funny if Elon did a coup
Radicalization delivered to every household! Louis DeJoy sent to the gulag!
X (formerly Twitter)Twitter (formerly X)
Hahaha holy shit he’s blowing up the government.
Decades in weeks comrade
The next 4 years are about to be a century lmao
De-lib-ification
Once again
stays winning just 
The us is so cooked lol
I’m not a fan of the US govt, but if this also includes people like librarians, national park or museum staff it’s really grim regardless.
It sure does! Idk that it’s that many librarians, most of those are local or state employees, but it definitely includes the Smithsonian staff
This emote is going to get a looot of mileage in the next few years
Screaming and shaking in my cage rn because I cannot simply sit back
Sending thought and prayer
I’m sorry comrade. Perhaps I’ll send you thoughts and popcorn
I was worried when Elon got on board, but it seems he’s turning the government into X the everything app and that’s just great (as someone who doesn’t live in the US). I weep for all you Yankees though.
I just assume this has something to do with Musk because it’s the same type of dogshit maneuvers he did to twitter.
Severance? Like the TV show?
No, like the evil teacher from Harry Patter.
I thought it was that three headed dog
Or rather, that one Balkan country.
Imagine being on track to quit and taking this instead lol
This shit is completely absurd lmfao
