Trump Administration Offers 8-Month Exit Package to Federal Employees

The Trump administration is implementing a "deferred resignation program" that offers financial incentives to 3 million civilian federal workers to resign voluntarily. The program, which was announced in a memo, provides employees with a deadline of February 6 to decide whether to participate, with the option to remain on the payroll until September 30 if they choose to leave. This move is part of a broader effort to reduce federal spending and downsizing, as warned by the administration.
