Donald Trump offers eight-month buyouts to all federal employees

WASHINGTON (USA Today) ― The Trump administration is offering buyouts to all federal employees who don't wish to return to work at the office, in a push to significantly reduce the size of the federal workforce.

The offer, outlined in a memo the U.S. Office of Personnel Management sent to employees Tuesday, would give federal workers eight months of pay and benefits through September if they resign by Feb. 6.

"If you choose not to continue in your current role in the federal workforce, we thank you for your service to your country and you will be provided with a dignified, fair departure from the federal deferred resignation program," the memo reads.
