Wow. Even when Trump isn't doing anything at all, he's racking up the W's.
Now, this seems to be woke DEI hires taking Trump's very nice deal of getting a nice separation package instead of being fired.
US set for largest mass resignation in history as Trump continues deep cuts
Federal workers say they have little choice but to depart, with 100,000 leaving under deferred resignation program
The Trump administration is set to oversee the largest mass resignation in US history on Tuesday, with more than 100,000 federal workers set to formally quit as part of the latest wave of its deferred resignation program.
With Congress facing a deadline of Tuesday to authorize more funding or spark a government shutdown, the White House has also ordered federal agencies to draw up plans for large-scale firings of workers if the partisan fight fails to yield a deal.
Workers preparing to leave government as part of the resignation program -- one of several pillars of Donald Trump's sweeping cuts to the federal workforce -- have described how months of "fear and intimidation" left them feeling like they had no choice but to depart.
"Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they're scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave," a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) told the Guardian. "That's why I left."
The total resignation program is set to cost $14.8bn, with 200,000 workers paid their full salary and benefits while on administrative leave for up to eight months, according to a Senate Democrats' report in July.
I am not pleased by the generosity of this offer.
Trump officials argue this outlay is worth it. The Office of Personnel Management claimed the one-time costs lower longer-term spending by the federal government. It also criticized job protections of federal civil servants, claiming the government should have a "modern, at-will employment framework like most employers".
Let's hope.
