Except these federal workers have a pension. It's complicated, and if this were done under previous administrations, something like this might be more well received. The current chaos just makes any rational decision making very difficult.
It is not a buyout. The memo and resignation template do not state buyout.
It is administrative leave with pay and benefits, but this leave only starts after your agency HR processes it from what I understand. It's more like a severance package.

[ 0.22 ms ] story [ 25.0 ms ] threadif my current employer offered a similar buyout, I would jump on it instantly
buyouts are an honorable way of reducing headcount - both sides consent
contrast this with current trends in tech - PIP...
Do they keep the pension if they take the buyout?
