This could get interesting

He said the same exact thing I did. You're either a troll or retarded, either way i'm done talking to you. Bye Falicia.

Do your homework... Read it again then, go back and see what you posted just prior to my comment. Hopefully, it will sink in. Good Luck!

So you guys didn't read the actual e-mail (why not, it's all over the internet) or the OPM memo/fact sheet?

It's not a buyout despite early headlines. It's an agreement that if you opt for a deferred resignation for the last day of the fiscal year you will be exempted from the return to in person work requirements.

That's it. Keep doing your job, keep getting paid, until the end of the fiscal year.

The only people likely to take the offer are those who were already planning to resign or were on the fence because they cannot or do not want to work in person. But again, they will still keep doing their jobs (in as much as they were before) remotely until the end of the fiscal year.

There's no VSIP/VERA/Buyout. That would actually get a LOT more people to leave and would actually shrink the government because billets that get VSIP/VERA are removed, they don't get to be filled by new people (the point being that the job is no longer necessary, which is why they are offered a bonus to vacate the job).

I'm with you. The media has described it as a buyout, but I've had severance/buyout packages in the private sector and this is not that. I read the email on the internet. It says if you accept it you can continue to be paid and keep your benefits through the end of the fiscal year, Sept. 30. It says you will be exempted from return to the office. But it also implies you will be required to transfer your responsibilities within your agency. Usually a buyout/severance is a lump sum amount paid to you immediately and you are cut loose immediately.

This looks like it was crafted by Elon Musk. It even used the same subject line, "Fork In The Road", that he used when he did the same thing at X after buying it. It sounds like it's a way to push those who might be on the fence to get off that fence. I still don't think it will result in the amount of resignations they think, but who knows.

I don't know what VSIP/VERA means, but I agree they would actually accomplish more if they set a future date and offered a 1 or two year times salary buyout that was paid immediately upon your termination. Maybe that's next.

Gilligan offered me a buyout. Two-weeks severance pay and an Arby's BOGO coupon.


I'm seriously considering it.

No Corona, no deal.

Supposed? It’s legit.

Your country has been sold to the highest tech bidder. It’s over folks, you might not see it today, but it’s all over. You got your wish.

My wish is you finally succumb to the long term effects of syphillis...
