President Trump has found an innovative way to shrink the size of government by offering those federal workers, who don’t want to return to the office with this new post-COVID administration, a buyout if they will resign by February 6th.

Trump expects close to 10% of employees to take the offer, which would save taxpayers a projected $100 billion per year.

Here’s more via Axios:

The White House will issue a memo Tuesday offering to pay federal workers who don’t want to return to the office through Sept. 30, as long as they resign by Feb. 6.

It’s an acceleration in President Trump’s already unprecedented purge of the federal workforce.

The Office of Personnel Management described the offer as administrative leave with pay and benefits.

A spokeswoman confirmed agencies will receive details later Tuesday. They will also be able to carve out exemptions.

“The government-wide email being sent today is to make sure that all federal workers are on board with the new administration’s plan to have federal employees in office and adhering to higher standards. We’re five years past COVID and just 6 percent of federal employees work full-time in office. That is unacceptable,” a senior administration official tells Axios.

The White House expects 5% to 10% of federal employees to accept the offer, which would potentially mean hundreds of thousands of people.

The administration projects the buyouts could ultimately save taxpayers up to $100 billion a year.

The offer applies to all full-time federal employees, except for military personnel, the Postal Service, and those working in immigration enforcement or national security.

Not only is this an innovative way to shrink government, but it’s also a good way of giving libs who hate Trump a nice way out of the administration. They will reportedly get 8 months of severance in this buyout, and hopefully many of them take it.
