   @briankrebs If you're close to retirement, the package should count as income. Might be a deal for some.

   FYI: This is how companies like Boeing downsize and lose their best older employees, with the result you've seen in the news about Boeing. (From an insider who retired with such a package and is consulting for way more.)

     "The White House’s Office of Personnel Management sent an email blast Tuesday to federal employees offering them a way to resign with pay through Sept. 30, the most sweeping effort yet by the new Trump administration to shrink the ranks of the federal workforce.

     The email instructed workers to reply to the message saying if they want to resign and take the offer, which expires Feb. 6. Most of the 2.3 million federal workers are eligible for the incentive, according to a White House Q&A, which landed as many employees already were facing return-to-office mandates and threats of layoffs.

     “At this time, we cannot give you full assurance regarding the certainty of your position or agency, but should your position be eliminated you will be treated with dignity and will be afforded the protections in place for such positions,” reads the email, which was titled “Fork in the Road.”
