The Trump administration says it will begin subjecting all federal employees to “enhanced standards of suitability and conduct” and is warning of future downsizing.
Someone on reddit pointed out there’s an OPM rule that makes max payout at something like $25k. Let me go dig it up real quick.
Because that means a lot of people wouldn’t get paid the full amount and Trump is absolutely the kind of person who would use shit like that as an excuse to not keep paying out. I wouldn’t trust this deal because based on stuff like this it doesn’t pass the sniff test.
Per OPM, the federal government can’t legally pay more than $25k, pre-tax. This is another scam. Trump is the literal master of grift. You think he’s gonna make good on this debt after years of not paying his bills?
It’s also not legal for him to make the offer without Congress allocating the funds and I doubt there’s much enthusiasm for this. And if he just ignores Congress, then he’s a dictator and just won’t pay like he doesn’t pay his legal bills. You’re screwed either way if you take the offer.
I suspect this is just a scheme to identify people who aren’t loyal to Trump so they can be sidelined and/or fired.
