That’s almost exactly the number of expected retirements. I think it’s something like 110k regular retirements in a year and the period covers 2/3rds of a year, so it’s basically spot on.
Of the handful of people I know of, most were retiring anyway. They’re basically getting 7 months of paid leave. I wished one person a happy retirement last week and then “welcome back” this week. They’re working until the end of February.
Of the one person I know that isn’t eligible for retirement, they were planning on leaving anyway due to circumstances in their family.
What I’m interested in is how many of those people will be back by October as contractors. I’ve seen it before where someone retires and then a few months later they’re back working in a similar job. Just because someone leaves gov services doesn’t mean their skill sets aren’t in demand.

That was going to be my second question- how many were not retiring, but were planning on leaving for other reasons? How many had a new job lined up before Trump even took office?
These idiots put no restrictions on this offer. And despite that, 75,000 is still far lower than the number of federal employees who retired per year in the past 10 years according to OPM.
How many of those 75,000 are a few months from retirement anyway?

Does this mean historical knowledge will leave quickly leaving gaps in how or why things work?

So that means even plenty of people who would entirely benefit from this offer at no risk to themselves are telling Trump to go fuck himself.
