Stealing what someone else said in the other thread: It is 7 months pay OR $25k whichever is LOWER. Watch as Trump misrepresents it as whichever is HIGHER.
Unless someone is literally about to start a new job in two weeks anyway, why the hell would they take such a pitiful buyout? $25k is jack shit these days especially when the cost is your entire livelyhood.
It is when your replacement is someone with undying loyalty to a fascist dictator. It’s not about efficiency, it’s about loyalty and ideology. The more people leave, the more powerful Trump Musk Trusk becomes.
Might have to look at that though, it’s possible once the funds have been allocated to a department Congress extra less control over how there are used. As long as there’s some loophole where the money can be spent on severance, and it doesn’t cost more money than was allocated for the year(how can it? It’s just paying people for not working)

It’s on the lower end - but 4 weeks severance isn’t uncommon in the corporate world - so 25k isn’t terrible.

Trump MuskTrusk becomes.Also it prevents them from joining another government position for 5 years or they have to repay it before they start the job
and the funds probably have to be allocated by congress… as it is they and NOT a diaper-wearing buffoon in lifted shoes, that controls the ‘purse’.
even the maga nuts in congress should be pissed as hell at lord diaper’s unconstitutional power and money grab.
