Trump offers the purchase of federal workers, promises eight months of compensation | Political news

Millions of employees have told those who decide until February 6 to leave voluntarily will receive eight months salary.

United States President Donald Trump has offered most federal workers the opportunity to leave their government jobs by next week in exchange for eight months pay for their deepest and fastest move, which has not yet been reworked on the government.

The redemption offer was announced on Tuesday of a memorandum issued by the staff management service (OPM) as Trump seeks to execute one of his campaign promises to Trem the governmentS

The note also stated that the Trump administration would begin to submit all federal employees of “improved standards of suitability and behavior” and warn of a future reduction.

The email, sent to millions of employees, said those who leave their posts voluntarily will receive about eight months salary, but they should choose to do so by February 6th.

Katie Miller, who serves in the Advisory Board of Ministry of Government EfficiencyThe Trump Administration Department, headed by Tesla Elon Musk Executive Director and charges to shrink the US government, published on X: “This email is sent to more than two million federal officers.”

The US Federal Government has hired over three million people since November, and they represent nearly 1.9 percent of the country's entire civil labor, according to Pew Research Center.

The average mandate for the federal employee has been nearly 12 years, according to PEW analysis of OPM data.

A senior administration official told NBC News that the White House expects 5 to 10 percent of federal officers to give up, leading to approximately $ 100 billion in savings.

Even part of the workforce that accepts redemption can send shock waves through the economy and cause widespread disturbances in society as a whole, which causes widespread-and still unknown-subsequent delivery, timeliness and efficiency of federal services across the country S

In response, the President of the US Union of Government Officers, Everett Kelly, said tenders should not be regarded as voluntary redemptions, but as pressure on workers who are not considered loyal to the new administration to release their jobs.

“The cleansing of the federal government of dedicated federal career officials will have huge, unwanted consequences that will cause chaos for Americans who depend on the functioning federal government,” Kelly said in a statement. “Between the storm of executive orders and workers' fighting policies, it is clear that the purpose of Trump's administration is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment in which workers cannot remain, even if they want.”

The email to public workers It looked like a message sent to Twitter employees When the social media platform was taken over by Musk at the end of 2022, she asked for an email if they wanted to stay with the company that Musk was renaming later X.

Musk, who spent more than $ 270 million to help Trump and other Republicans win elections in November, was eavesdropped to lead the new Ministry of Government Efficiency.
