What A Leader Does – Trump to offer two million federal workers buyouts in accelerated government purge

Back when IBM was run by Lou Gerstner, I said I’d vote for him as president because he knew how to run things, hire and fire people, make decisions and not bend to be popular.

He put in the FAP (I know, funny right?) or Financial Assistance Program to offer buyouts to the deadweight at IBM so that it could be lean and mean, and survive.

Now this.

Up to two million federal workers will be offered buyouts if they don’t want to return to the office as part of Donald Trump’s government purge.

The Trump administration started sending emails to thousands of federal workers Tuesday evening offering them a chance to voluntarily vacate their government posts while remaining on the payroll for months.

The email was linked to President Donald Trump’s executive order demanding federal employees return to the office

An email landed in federal workers’ inboxes offering them a package and the ability to voluntarily separate from the federal government before the new Department of Government Efficiency starts identifying areas that could afford to be cut.

‘At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency, but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions,’ reads the email, titled ‘Fork in the Road.’ 

To take the deal, employees were told to type the word ‘resign’ into the subject line of their response. 

The ‘majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force,’ according to the email.

A spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management said the employees who accept the terms were being offered the chance to go on administrative leave through Sept. 30 at full pay.

They won’t be able to say discrimination as they will choose to leave on their own. He’ll cut down a bunch of worthless beaurocrats and stop the waste.

Trump ran a huge global organization like Gerstner.
