Federal workers who took Trump buyout feel fear, regret after judge’s order
For the federal workers struggling to decide whether to take the Trump administration’s deferred resignation program, a Massachusetts federal judge’s order to delay the Thursday night deadline was a reprieve — a chance to take a few more days to weigh a life-altering offer to leave their jobs with pay through Sept. 30.
But for some of the tens of thousands of federal employees who have already accepted the deal, the Thursday afternoon ruling in a lawsuit seeking to nullify the program brought confusion about their status, regret that they’d jumped at the offer too quickly, questions about whether to try to take back the decision or fear that if the program is ultimately thrown out, they now had a target on their backs.
