Excerpt:
On Monday, a federal judge will decide whether or not to block a buyout offer for federal employees as the Trump Administration moves to shrink the federal workforce.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) offered most federal employees the opportunity to leave their jobs with full pay and benefits through Sept. 30, if they resigned by Feb. 6. The OPM announced that most employees who accept the “deferred resignation” would be exempt from in-person work requirements.
U.S. District Judge George O’Toole said he would hear arguments on whether an emergency restraining order against the offer should be granted, so the White House announced it would extend the deadline for employees to resign until Monday, Feb. 10 at 11:59 p.m.
