Federal employees who aren’t keen on heading back to the office have a new option: buyouts. According to sources, the Trump administration is rolling out this plan starting Tuesday for workers who’d rather not return to in-person work.

During the pandemic, many federal workers enjoyed flexible arrangements, but those days are coming to an end. The administration has pushed for a return to office life, leaving some employees looking for alternatives.

Those who take the buyout will need to resign by February 6. In return, they’ll receive severance pay that stretches through September 30.

News of the buyouts broke late, with agency heads reportedly informed only recently. While specifics are still emerging, it’s clear this move could shake up the federal workforce.

Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
