The US Army Corps of Engineers has taken steps to streamline its operations and notified 1,068 employees that they are eligible to participate in the “buyout” program initiated by the Trump administration. The spokesperson said these employees make up about 3% of the civilian workforce. In order to achieve the goal of streamlining the size of the government, the US Personnel Administration sent an email to federal employees on January 28, calling for them to sign up for a “buyout,” or “voluntary resignation,” before February 6. If a “buyout” is decided, you can continue to receive wages without having to work until September 30.
