Up to two million US government workers will be offered ‘delayed redundancy’ if they don’t want to give up working from home, it was revealed yesterday, Katelyn Caralle and Geoff Earle.
Donald Trump’s administration has started sending emails to thousands of federal staff offering them a chance to quit while remaining on full pay until September 30.
The President wants to slash the number of government workers.
He has also issued an executive order demanding they return to the office rather than work from home.
The email – titled Fork In The Road – offers them a chance to leave before the new Department of Government Efficiency starts identifying areas to be cut.
To take the deal, employees are told to type the word “resign” in the subject line of their response.
The “majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments and reductions,” the email warns.
