More than 100,000 Federal Employees Reportedly Set to Resign on Tuesday – Twitchy

September 29, 2025

Well, here’s some good news: the trash is taking itself out. Ever since DOGE started slashing jobs, federal workers have been presented with generous buy-outs to resign. Allegedly, more than 100,000 federal employees are set to resign on Tuesday before President Trump sends them packing. It’s not that brave a move, since it’s being made under the administration’s deferred resignation program, through which they’ll be paid through next September for continuing to do nothing.

The Guardian is too pure to post on X anymore, but they write:

The Trump administration is set to oversee the largest mass resignation in US history on Tuesday, with more than 100,000 federal workers set to formally quit as part of the latest wave of its deferred resignation program.

With Congress facing a deadline of Tuesday to authorize more funding or spark a government shutdown, the White House has also ordered federal agencies to draw up plans for large-scale firings of workers if the partisan fight fails to yield a deal.

Workers preparing to leave government as part of the resignation program – one of several pillars of Donald Trump’s sweeping cuts to the federal workforce – have described how months of “fear and intimidation” left them feeling like they had no choice but to depart.

“Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) told the Guardian. “That’s why I left.”

It’s not an airport … you don’t need to announce your departure. “When their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away” — we’re in tears here. Does work-life balance refer to being ordered to return to the office after working from home for years?

Crocodile tears. They get 8 months full pay & benefits. For those who’d be retiring, they’ll still be able to retire w/ full retirement pkg. I also suspect those retiring will now wait 8 more months to pad their retirement. 1 time cost=$14.8B. Long term, will save ~$28B annually

With around 3 million employees worldwide… the US Government will prolly “collapse” after this 3.33% reduction in force.
