As the deadline of February 6 approaches, federal workers are facing a decision regarding a buyout offer that allows them to resign if they do not wish to return to the office. The offer, detailed in a memo on the US Office of Personnel Management's website, stipulates that employees who accept the buyout will receive severance pay until September 30.
The memo, which was sent to federal employees on January 28, 2025, introduced a deferred resignation offer. The communication was distributed via email from [email protected] using the new mass email system implemented during the Trump administration.
