In a staffwide meeting Wednesday, leaders of the Education Department told employees the Trump administration’s resignation offer comes with major caveats.

Summary

Education Department staff were warned that accepting the Trump administration’s buyout offer could leave them without promised pay, as agreements could be rescinded at any time.

The buyout, part of Trump’s plan to shrink the federal workforce, has already led over 40,000 employees to resign, according to the White House.

Concerns are mounting over potential layoffs and office closures, with staff morale plummeting.

Federal unions and Democratic officials have challenged the legality of the program.
