     How many are going to see if they can use that time as an early retirement?

     This is motivation for remote employees to quit. Many will take it rather than return to the office.

     10% ish quitting is the expectation.

     But those that are within a year of retirement will try to find a way to get out early if they can.
     If someone has 4 weeks vacation and can use this 8 months, tipping out 9 months early is something I'd jump at.

     I wonder if it works like that.

     No one close to retirement will take an 8 months buyout unless they also get to keep their retirement.

     This was sent to every government employee today.

     I was just pondering and I'm sure the unions are looking into it as well.
     I had almost 2 months in time to burn before I "retired". My last day at work was Feb 5, my retirement day was April 2
