Up to two million federal workers will be offered buyouts if they don't want to return to the office as part of Donald Trump's government purge.
The Trump administration started sending emails to thousands of federal workers Tuesday evening offering them a chance to voluntarily vacate their government posts while remaining on the payroll for months.
The email was linked to President Donald Trump's executive order demanding federal employees return to the office.
An email landed in federal workers' inboxes offering them a package and the ability to voluntarily separate from the federal government before the new Department of Government Efficiency starts identifying areas that could afford to be cut.
'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, titled 'Fork in the Road.'
To take the deal, employees were told to type the word 'resign' into the subject line of their response.
The 'majority of federal agencies are likely to be downsized through restructurings, realignments, and reductions in force,' according to the email.
