Second buyout offer sent to some federal workers
Emily Peck
A second wave of buyout offers has gone out to federal workers inside some agencies, including Transportation, GSA and the Housing department, Axios has learned.
Why it matters: The context for these offers, sent to at least five agencies, has shifted radically since the initial "Fork in the Road" email went out in February — employees have been through the fire over the past month, laid off, forced out or embroiled in court fights to keep their jobs.
Folks are more receptive this time around, per the Washington Post, which first reported on the new buyouts.
Thousands of new workers are eligible, the paper reports. It says employees at the Energy Department also received offers.
USDA employees and those at the Small Business Administration are also contemplating what's being called Deferred Resignation II or 2.0, depending on the agency, according to emails viewed by Axios.
Deadlines to decide range between April 7 and April 15.
