Except these federal workers have a pension. It's complicated, and if this were done under previous administrations, something like this might be more well received. The current chaos just makes any rational decision making very difficult.

Do they keep the pension if they take the buyout?

[brynx97]

It is not a buyout. The memo and resignation template do not state buyout.

It is administrative leave with pay and benefits, but this leave only starts after your agency HR processes it from what I understand. It's more like a severance package.
