  1. Couple blurbs in the FAQ related to moving to outside employment and/or future government employment. Q: Can employees get another job outside of their current employing agency during the period between submission of their resignation and the final resignation date? A: Nothing in the deferred resignation letter prevents agency employees from seeking outside employment during the period from submittal of their resignation to their final resignation date. Employing agencies should assess what restrictions, if any, exist for employees who have resigned but remain employed (including on administrative leave) by their employing agency. Q: Can employees return to work in the federal government? A: Deferred resignation does not affect employees’ ability to apply to work for the federal government in the future.
  2. Right. I think that RTO policy alone would have similar impact, but probably not to the same extent. I have not seen a blanket buy out offer in corporate world, only early retirement offers. But those had the same effect, good contributors that otherwise would have stuck around at least a few more years just took the payouts and popped up somewhere else in a few months. People that were very close to retirement took it almost universally. But that was the strategy they used to shake the tree before going down the RIF cascade.
  3. You are really overwhelming this thread with quality content. Seek help. Seriously.
  4. Lol. What are you whining about? I am not going to project the long term outcomes, but I think that there is lots of fat to trim in the federal workforce. I am not sure that dangling a fat severance package is the best way to go about down sizing it. I’ve seen it in the private sector and my observations have been that those with good alternative options know it and snap take the package.
  5. To the topic, 28 weeks is a pretty generous package, better than most in the private sector would get. It's not gonna make sense for a lot of people, but for the younger folks I know of a few personally that will be able to jump to the private sector with ease. They were already heading that direction based on the RTO order without the juice of a severance package. I think you will see a short term brain drain of the most capable talent, esp younger talent that isn't near retirement.
  6. I think that topically oriented threads are superior to the meta threads like Trump's America that just end up with a bunch of drive by "discussion" around the topic of the day. Allows those so inclined to dig into specific topics. If the topic is not of interest to you to discuss, you don't have to post in the thread. Pretty simple discussion board stuff.
  7. https://apnews.com/article/trump-buyouts-to-all-federal-employees-f67f5751a0fd5ad8471806a5a1067b5e? Trump offers all federal workers a buyout with 7 months’ pay in effort to shrink size of government By MARK SHERMAN Updated 4:59 PM CST, January 28, 2025 WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House on Tuesday began offering buyouts worth seven months of salary to all federal employees who opt to leave their jobs by Feb. 6 — part of President Donald Trump’s unprecedented overhaul of the U.S. government. A memo from the Office of Personnel Management, the government’s human resources agency, lists four directives that it says Trump is mandating for the federal workforce, including that most workers return to their offices full-time. It includes a “deferred resignation letter” for federal employees wishing to participate. “If you choose not to continue in your current role in the federal workforce, we thank you for your service to your country and you will be provided with a dignified, fair departure from the federal government utilizing a deferred resignation program,” the email reads. “This program begins effective January 28 and is available to all federal employees until February 6.” It adds, “If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30.”
  8. Sorry to hear that brisket. May his memory be eternal.
  9. Where are we at with opinions on the 4 cylinder hybrid situation with the new 4runner?
  10. Yeah, but I used big chunks in it. Very very tender. I did this again recently with ham steaks and it turned out very nice as well. Backstrap is probably overkill and you can use a tougher muscle. Smaller pieces, and you can see some of the ham steak chunks are getting quite loose, which was fine.
  11. You are probably stupid enough to believe this.

  13. As of September 2024, there were ~420k undetained convicted criminal illegal aliens, and ~220k charged but not yet adjudicated. Not a whole lot of people are going to complain loudly about deporting the vast majority of those individuals. Start including unrelated "collateral" and it is going to get very messy very quick. If they are picking up criminal aliens at places of work, the employer should get hit with very a large and painful penalty.
  14. RFK will put sanctions on pharmacies that sell froot loops.
  15. Bought some NVDA today. If there is one sure fire way to kill the AI overlords before we go full Terminator, it might be for me to invest in it.
  16. Good day to have a portfolio extremely light in tech atm.
  17. Pretty wild that the key words torture porn flushes out a kingdom of Saudi Arabia travel bot.
