Resign?

[hdshot]

Hope this federal buyout doesn’t cause any harm to our national refuges.  Not a road anyone wants to travel because we know what has happened in a temporary government shutdown. Access denied and gated shut.  Not a prediction but very bad for the general public if refuge land is sold off and leases abolished.  Not sure what the budget is but seen 4 billion dollars for the U.S. fish and wildlife this year.

This is being discussed as a buyout but isn’t. It’s a trap and doubt more than 2% of the federal work force will fall for it. I don’t know anyone and haven’t heard anyone through co workers that has replied “resign” yet.

Now, if legislation is passed and a decent looking severance package is offered with benefits, our public lands may be in trouble.

Yeah, it’s is not a buyout. What will happen is the government CR expires in March, the resignation is date to take effect 9/15/20205. The DoD, Border, Postal Service and maybe a couple more didn’t get the offer, and will get funded or deemed essential. Everyone else will likey not be funded for the remainder of the year. Those that take the “buyout” will quit 5 days before the new fiscal year 10/1/25. They will never see any of that money from March thru September. That at least what I see happening with the “buyout”. It should also be mentioned how poorly it was distributed and the OPM FAQ page is joke. Looks like AI or an idiot wrote it. It is simply a scare tactic. Having said all that, I did recommend to a few people I know retiring next month they should try it and see if it pans out.

Sounds like sumpin worth following. What exactly are we discussing? News hasn't been a priority for a few months

Why is it a trap?

Honest question.
I know very little about it.

[blackpowderhunter]

the fact that there is no budget for this, and trump actually doesnt have the authority to do this should say something.
if people accept it they're idiots because there is a higher liklihood than not that the 8 month severance package isnt seen.
he promised cheaper groceries then admitted he couldnt do that also once everyone fell for that one so.....

Here’s the link to read what the joke of a deal was sent by “OPM” to many people. They’re bypassing all agency heads sending emails directly to employees.  https://www.opm.gov/fork


Also, I know nobody is aware, but social media communications from public land agencies basically is nixed until further notice.

I’m not meaning to turn this table political, but hunters, anglers, and all stake holders in public lands will start to feel the effects of these actions coming out of the Oval Office.

It’s amazing how much staff and funding is needed for public lands especially for the general public to have access for waterfowl hunting. If Federal defunding happened to national refuges, it would be catastrophic for most.

Also, probationary employees are starting to feel worried. Often times those ground workers you see opening or closing gates, doing maintenance, and cleaning toilets are probationary employees. To potentially target them next in my opinion will be a disaster.

Everyone should keep informed and start lobbying for their federal lands.

Submitted and was approved for my DoD CIV SVE retirement (NOV last year) for the end of May this year, 20 years active Army and 21 years CIV SVC is enough. That said “we all” received the memo about early resignation.

Interesting my old POCs from DoD did not receive this resignation. At least no yesterday evening. But, I do remember it taking some time to get through those email walls.

This is DOGE taking OPM captive, bypassing all chain of command and making promises of payment from Feb-Sept for resignation. There a lot of issues with it, but the biggest ones are they done have the funds, congress would have to approve it. Some about to retire within the month might go for it. But, this is a good way to weed the dumbest out of the federal services. Elon pulled the same stunt at Twitter, and issued basically the same “Fork in the Road”. There are a lot of unknowns at this point in time, cause stuff is being hidden from all sectors of the federal services.

But, for anything federal lands I would be worried. Camping, rec areas are in danger. Seasonal employees that do ALL the boots on the ground stuff that goes unnoticed is in jeopardy. These are the folks that are most likely to walk out. Long term I’d be worried about BLM in particular as the Utah hearing approaches. That could open the flood gates for a federal land sell off. Hopefully, I am just being paranoid.

I got my email late yesterday so I say it this morning. I know a couple people that are thinking of taking it. Mainly because they are tired of stuff and just want to get out.

Sounds like the Oval Office just wants to get rid of dead weight, people that know they haven’t been hired because of their skills but their sexual preference, color ( or lack there of) , sounds like if you earned your position you have nothing to worry about.  Am I reading it wrong?

Trump 2025!!
