Over 150,000 federal employees are set to leave the US government payroll this week after accepting buyouts, marking the single-largest resignation in history.
Official resignations are expected to begin on Tuesday for employees who opted into a deferred exit programme that kept them on the government payroll through September.
The buyouts are a key part of President Donald Trump's push to shrink the federal workforce, offering financial incentives and threatening dismissal to those who refused the offer.
According to the federal government's human resources (HR) office, many workers left their agencies months ago and have been on paid leave since then.
These buyouts form part of a broader effort by Trump and his former adviser Elon Musk to reduce the federal workforce, arguing that it had become too large and inefficient.
Of course the left is are going on about the loss of "institutional expertise".
In my mind that means collecting a check for the absolute minimum a human being can be asked to do.
Jeez.....How will we ever recover?
