The administration of President Donald Trump offers federal workers the opportunity to take advantage of the “deferred resignation”, which would mean that they now agree to resign but are paid until September.
A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5% -10% of the Federal Labor Force to resign, which, as they estimate, could lead to around $ 100 billion in savings.
All full -time federal employees are eligible, with the exception of army members, employees of the United States postal service, posts related to the application of national immigration and security and other works excluded by agencies.
“American taxpayers pay for the salaries of federal government employees and, therefore, deserve employees who work in their name who actually present themselves to work on our wonderful federal buildings, also paid by taxpayers,” said the secretary Press of the White House, Karoline Leavitt in a statement. “If you do not want to work in the office and contribute to making the United States again, then they are free to choose a different line of work, and the Trump administration will provide a very generous payment of 8 months.”
Axios first reported the purchase offer.

The offer was to the Federal Labor Force through a new system that the Trump administration created that provides officials the ability to send an email to all federal employees at the same time.
The email included a draft of the renunciation letter to review it. If a person wishes to give up, he can respond with the word “resign.”
The resignation period will begin on Tuesday and spend on February 6.
“If you choose to remain in your current position, we thank you for your renewed approach to serve the American people as best you can and hope to work together as part of an improved federal workforce”, the email that will be sent to federal workers read. “At this time, we cannot provide a total guarantee regarding the certainty of your position or agency, but if your position is eliminated, it will be treated with dignity and the protections for such positions will be granted.”

The email also tells workers that if they renounce under this program, “it will retain all salaries and benefits, regardless of their daily workload and will be exempt from all work requirements in person applicable until September 30, 2025 (or before if you choose accelerates your resignation for any reason) “.
The national president of the CEF, Everett Kelley, abruptly condemned the email of the Trump administration, saying that “it should not be considered voluntary.”
“The number of public officials has not changed significantly since 1970, but there are more Americans than ever depending on government services,” Kelley said. “To purge the federal government of the dedicated career officials will have vast and unwanted consequences that will cause chaos for Americans who depend on a federal government in operation.”
“Among the burst of anti-workers executive orders and policies, it is clear that the objective of the Trump administration is to turn the federal government into a toxic environment where workers cannot even stay if they want,” he added.
The Technological billionaire Elon Musk, who is now in charge of the new Department of Government Efficiency of Trump, sent an email similar to the employees shortly after taking charge of Twitter, which went to flame X, asking them to choose to continue working on the company.
White House officials did not say if they were involved in the current effort. But the issue of email that will be sent to federal workers is: “bifurca along the way”.
It is the same line of matter that Musk used in that email to Twitter employees. And Musk now has a publication trapped in X of a work of art he commissioned called “Hork in the road.”
