President Trump offers buyouts to all federal workers

President Donald Trump is offering buyouts worth seven months’ salary to all federal employees who opt to leave their jobs by Feb. 6, according to a memo from the Office of Personal Management. The buyout is part of Trump’s unprecedented overhaul of the United States government. Last week, Trump signed an executive order requiring federal employees to return to in-person work. The order comes after Trump indicated that he planned to push back on former President Joe Biden's move to allow federal workers to remain in a hybrid work arrangement through 2029.
