Trump sent every fed a Fork in the Road email offering 9 months severance if they quit in the next 2 weeks
🚨 NEW: This is the full buyout memo from the OPM sent to all Federal employees titled “A Fork in the Road.” The pillars of the new Federal government are clearly laid out.

If Federal employees wish to resign they simply put “RESIGN” in the subject line of the email they… pic.twitter.com/fFCiSAiprV
I attribute this solely to this community and the solidarity found in it. I'm the only person on my team of 8 that's on Reddit and not only have I been better informed, I've been faring better than the others. Two people went on stress leave and frankly I'd be one of them too if I didn't have this community. I'll continue to do my job and fight for the position I've earned. It took me 10 years of applying and 20 years experience in my field to get here. I will not be pushed out by two billionaire trust funds babies. I'M NOT LEAVING!'
I was chill and laid back prior. Now I'm digging my heels in out of spite. I'm a big time hater and being petty is my favorite thing to do.
I can hold a grudge like it's my job
I knew my grudge-holding skills would come in handy someday.
I've never been more motivated to stay. Before the "buyout" memo, I was ready to go job hunting, but then a revelation hit. I took an oath under this position to the American people and leaving my job under the current state would be failing to maintain my oath as civil servant.
I solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.
Did you guys know how much of the posting on /r/fednews takes place when they should be working?

Imagine if government employees become more productive just to spite Trump, that'd be funny.

They'd just not do anything and regard it as 'malicious compliance'. They may think their big skill is holding a grudge, but they're better at doing frick all and calling it an act of resistance.

I would pay so much money for a Twitch or Kick stream of one of these people's workdays. We debate back and forth endlessly, left versus right about big government small government blah blah but I learned in school that it's all about the raw sources. So let's see what you do all day guys

I imagine it's about the same as the late 2010s tiktoks of people "working" at Twitter or Facebook or whatever where it's just playing billiards and table tennis, goofing off to get cocktails at 11am, coming back at 2 to maybe work for fifteen minutes before going home early

Job so difficult and low paying, they don't want to accept free 9 months of money and work something else less terrible
And they are so good and efficient at their jobs, the government is trying to give them free money to voluntarily leave
