You are correct. People are being delusional on here just saying 'fire them all". That's bad politics. If they want the people to return they have to have a place to return to.

Guess you guys have just ignored all the talk about empty federal buildings that the government is paying leases on.
They have the space.

Elon runs multiple companies and never has to report for duty, yet he thinks other people can't be productive unless they are herded into an office like cattle. It's just a moronic proposition and insulting to people.
This is dumb. Elon can run his companies however he chooses. Your opinion means less than nothing.

That report was inaccurate.

As much as it pains me to say this.. I’m good with it so they can’t bitch and moan for 4 years how Trump instantly ruined their livelihoods

You are saving money by having them not do anything. All federal workers do is spend money. Hopefully at least 20% take the buy out. Instant savings when you don’t replace them.

I think you mean it doesn't match your narrative.

That's the problem with Trump implementing Project 2025 as a lame-duck.
EOs can be challenged, and he doesnt necessarily have the time or mandate that he had in 2017 under his first term. Although he has the culture vibe shift and business behind him now

Vivek also mentioned 2 year severance. I think there will be a round 2 of this.
Frick that 2 year severance crapola, 6 months severance would be extremely generous. The vast majority of private sector workers are employees at risk and they are walked out the door with their personal belongings and their last paycheck.

You think we aren't paying for offices for them already?

It looks like no buyout. According to Reddit, Elon just sent Fed workers a "Fork in the Road" email like he did with Twitter employees. No buyout. If you reply to the email with "Resign" you won't have to return to the office but will have to work through September 30 which will be your resignation date.
Wild! But I think they gonna get sued.

The administration projects the buyouts could ultimately save taxpayers up to $100 billion a year.
I get $20B/yr at the outside. $20B is fantastic.
But there must be secondary effects I'm missing?

no seriously

I’m sure they will be signing an NDA with their acceptance of a buy out. Cuts down on wrongful termination suits later. I used to work for an employer that would do something very similar if he wanted to get rid of someone but couldn’t technically fire them for cause.
