Washington, D.C. Web Desk – Today marks the final day of the Trump administration’s deadline for federal employees to voluntarily resign. According to U.S. media reports, over 40,000 federal workers have accepted the government’s offer and decided to step down.
A report from an international news agency states that these resignations account for approximately 4% of the federal government’s workforce, which consists of 2.3 million employees.
Last week, former President Donald Trump announced a financial incentive for federal employees willing to resign. As per media sources, the administration sent out emails offering eight months’ salary in exchange for voluntary resignation.
The email specified that the offer would remain valid until February 6. Employees interested in availing themselves of the package were instructed to respond with the word “Resign.”
Reports suggest that the Trump administration anticipated around 10% of federal employees accepting the offer, potentially saving the government an estimated $100 billion.
The move has sparked significant debate, with analysts weighing in on the long-term impact of reducing the federal workforce. Some argue that it could streamline operations and cut costs, while others worry about potential disruptions in government services.
As the deadline passes, all eyes are now on how this mass resignation will impact the functioning of federal agencies and what measures the government will take to manage the transition.
