A government-wide email President Trump's aides planned to send Tuesday will say employees have about a week to decide whether to participate in a "deferred resignation program." It was to begin Tuesday for all federal employees and end Feb. 6.
"If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30, 2025 (or earlier if you choose to accelerate your resignation for any reason)," the emails states

One way to end run the Unions
Fire them now !!!
Sounds like a plan. I’d have the end date June 30 instead of September.
Not the civil service-protected ones, we can’t. We do this it’s better in the long term
So this results in a sizable Reduction In Force with minimal pushback since it’s largely voluntary.

Saves the company money in the long run
I understand your enthusiasm! But, it may be that Trump has looked at the bottom line and this is the best way to get the job done. These people will never work again (if they ever did), so that has to be considered.

genius.
I bet you that this is Elon Musk's recommendation. Remember he was able to eliminate 80% of Twitter's employees with a similar tactic.
Business smarts.
Used to buy out bad tenants this way rather than evict. Quicker and in the end usually cheaper too
