My bet is they won’t get paid what’s been promised to them because that’s been the conman’s modus operandi since forever.
Hold it it up in the justice system for the sake of efficienxy.
They’re never going to get paid. He’s going to leave them high and dry
He can’t legally do this, and he won’t fight after people leave.

Man y’all keep using words like legal, constitutional, court order, etc… I just don’t know if y’all are understanding the situation. We’re well past legal.
Can I interest you in a “the wheels of justice take time” my friend? The Mueller Report will put Trump in his place any day now. Just wait patiently. 🙂

The article explained why the appropriated funds can’t cover this and the limits promised exceed the amounts opm can pay people. It’s not that what he’s doing is illegal, it is that there is no legal way for his promises to be fulfilled. He can promise whatever he wants legally, there’s just no way to make it happen within the government.
Congress hasn’t passed a budget yet for the fiscal year, only a continuing resolution. The fiscal year started on Oct 1. So, Congress could include language that legalizes the buyout in the full budget, in theory*. There’s going to continue to be lawsuits against it before and after the budget becomes law. So, who knows what will happen in practice.
In any case, my take is anyone that took it will find that it won’t work out like they hoped. At a minimum they will have a stressful couple of months. At a maximum they will find that they screwed themselves.
*IANAL so apply appropriate skepticism to my Thursday evening quarterbacking.
How about two lawyers reviewing it?
Judge said it’s ok, totally legal now… Awaiting appeal.
How many of those 75,000 are a few months from retirement anyway?
Of the handful of people I know of, most were retiring anyway. They’re basically getting 7 months of paid leave. I wished one person a happy retirement last week and then “welcome back” this week. They’re working until the end of February.
Of the one person I know that isn’t eligible for retirement, they were planning on leaving anyway due to circumstances in their family.
What I’m interested in is how many of those people will be back by October as contractors. I’ve seen it before where someone retires and then a few months later they’re back working in a similar job. Just because someone leaves gov services doesn’t mean their skill sets aren’t in demand.
Of the one person I know that isn’t eligible for retirement, they were planning on leaving anyway due to circumstances in their family.
That was going to be my second question- how many were not retiring, but were planning on leaving for other reasons? How many had a new job lined up before Trump even took office?
These idiots put no restrictions on this offer. And despite that, 75,000 is still far lower than the number of federal employees who retired per year in the past 10 years according to OPM.

So that means even plenty of people who would entirely benefit from this offer at no risk to themselves are telling Trump to go fuck himself.
