Attorneys and unions don’t want federal workers to resign

The Musk Email: “Fork in the Road”: A Cyber Attack Attack Campaign to Put a Fugitive Senator to the Remorse

People that do cyberattacks are represented by us. We represent engineers. He said that they were there to represent people that made the submarine and aircraft carriers.

The email was sent to employees by Musk after he bought the company. The email states that federal workers need to quit by February 6 if they don’t want to return to work five days a week. Those who choose to resign will continue to get pay and benefits until September, according to the memo.

Jim Eisenmann is a partner with Alden Law Group and he said that the email “Fork in the Road” is not a buyout. “It’s not based on any law or regulation or anything really other than an idea they cooked up to get federal employees out of the government.”

The email said the program was a “deferred resignation program.” Employees were told to accept it by February 6. The email had instructions to be replied to with the words “resign” and “send.”

Language included in the memo states: “I understand my employing agency will likely make adjustments in response to my resignation including moving, eliminating, consolidating, reassigning my position and tasks, reducing my official duties, and/or placing me on paid administrative leave until my resignation date.”

Several federal employees told NPR they haven’t had any communication from OPM before last week. Some even questioned whether the email was real.

There is no guarantee that there will be other things happening to them between now and then, like they won’t be laid off as a result of a reduction in force.

The email was called a “resignation threat” by the president of the international federation of professional and technical engineers.

He pointed to the part of the memo that tells employees that if they don’t accept the offer, they may not have a job.

NASA, Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Defense and the Department of Justice are among the 30,000 federal employees that IFPTE represents.

The members who work in immigration enforcement and national security did receive the memo despite it being outside of the resignation offer.

Elon Musk is only one week into his role in President Donald Trump’s new administration, but the US federal government is already rolling out the Twitter playbook to manage its spending and personnel. Just like Musk did when he took over the social media platform, Trump’s team is attempting to drastically reduce the number of government staffers and ensure those who remain are loyal to the president’s agenda.

“The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work,” reads the email, which was later published on the US Office of Personnel Management website. “Employees will be subject to enhanced standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward.”

The news comes as Musk’s minions take over the US Office of Personnel Management, which acts as a human resources department for the federal workforce. Elon Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment from WIRED. The Office of Personnel Management also did not respond to a request for comment.

Musk and his advisors, including Trump’s newly appointed AI and crypto czar David Sacks, used a remarkably similar strategy at Twitter. About a week after the acquisition was complete, Musk laid off half the workforce. Sacks helped advise him on which teams and people would be cut.

Remaining employees received an email containing the subject line A Fork in the Road about two weeks later. Musk said they needed to be extremely hardcore in order to realize his vision. This meant “working long hours at high intensity.” He noted that “only exceptional performance” would receive “a passing grade.” Employees were asked to opt into this vision via a web form. Musk said those who didn’t do it by the following day would be out three months. Thousands of Twitter employees would later sue, arguing that they were not paid their full severance. Musk ultimately was able to get the suit dismissed.

I am shaking my heads at how familiar this is, says a former principal engineer at the social networking website. Specific laws are in place for the federal government and its employees.
