so, what are the odds the 40,000 who took the offer are the lowest performing emloyees, the ones who can’t find employment outside the federal government, the ones people are always complaining about providing poor service.
Or do you think the best and brightest are taking the offer? The ones who can move quickly to a job in the private sector, folks whom the private sector has been trying to hire anyway?
And maybe, just maybe, those taking the offer will come back as consultants, doing something like their old job, but at a much higher cost.
I’ve not seen the separation agreement (and I suspect few employees to whom the offer has been made have seen it), but if it lets me be “employed” until September 30 and drawing full pay and benefits, and allows me to work a new job, then I suspect we’ll see the best and brightest out the door.
I see a federal judge has entered an injuction against the whole program until Monday, at which time a preliminary injunction may issue.
Fortunately for Truck and Mumps, the government doesn’t have a profit and loss statement, so we won’t be able to guage whether this program has the same effect upon the government as it had on Twitter.
