Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

generally most of the reason for staying in a GS rated position is the benefits, including the pension which is calculated based on years of service.
it isn't like tech douche start up world where it's all salary and stove-piped stock options and a maniacal boss who can terminate medical insurance at a whim.
there simply aren't enough political appointees to oversee and pressure people to leave without an actual pension buyout including healthcare, which would balloon the shit out of costs, which would over what these agencies have in their budgets. which would require added funding from congress.... good luck selling that as efficiency.
there's a reason they are saying "paid through September" because that's all the funding they have to work with, since that's the end of the federal fiscal calendar.
honestly, I bet they don't even get 5% of the workforce to take the bait, even making it so easy to resign with Musk's auto-resign-by-email app, which probably fails some HR paperwork requirement of a legit digital signature.
Someone could do something really fucking funny if they can trick it into accepting incorrect emails.
