Summary
Trump is preparing mass layoffs for federal workers who decline its voluntary resignation offer, “Fork in the Road,” which guarantees pay through September 30 but requires workers to waive legal rights.
Over 20,000 employees have accepted, but unions argue the offer is coercive and legally dubious, filing a lawsuit to halt the February 6 deadline.
The administration warns holdouts could lose their jobs as part of Trump and Elon Musk’s plan to downsize government.
Critics say the policy mirrors Musk’s mass firings at X.
Virtually all of which were already set to retire…
The only scramble from the fork has been people recalling applications for retirement because they want to see if they’d really get 8 months pay free before retiring.
Even with this bullshit, I doubt February will break January’s retirement numbers, a shit ton of people got out before trump even came back.
