Trump Administration Offers Deferred Resignation Option
In a significant move, the Trump administration has announced an opportunity for federal workers to opt for a deferred resignation. This initiative allows employees to resign from their positions while receiving a severance package that includes approximately eight months of pay and benefits.
Background of the Initiative
Recently, a senior administration official disclosed this new program, highlighting its anticipated impact on the federal workforce. The administration estimates that between 5% and 10% of employees may take advantage of this offer. If these projections hold true, the government could see an estimated savings of around $100 billion.
