These tend to work through in stages: fastest ones to accept were already looking, and next up are those that are on the fence, and so on...

The 8-month buyout offer is significantly better than the one-time offer from Clinton in the 90's [1], even adjusting for inflation, so I'd expect that there's a large group of individuals & families that are just taking the time to evaluate the decision.

Amazing. That offer (and website in general) look and sound identical to what the current administration is proposing.

Well, except that Clinton went to Congress for authorization to make those offers and got a law passed, and didn't do a blanket offer to every employee they could blast out an email to, and did them as actual buyouts rather than extended no-work leave.

Interesting precedent thanks for sharing.
