In reply to the discussion: White House tells federal workers they can quit now, get paid through September [View all]LiberalLoner

Yes, we have a good backup plan and about a million and a half in savings which we hope will enable us to move to a lower cost of living nation, and survive. Our passports are valid.
I figure we have as good a hope of surviving as the next person. Which admittedly is maybe not all that good.

Definitely a scam. My worry is that even those feds who do not resign with this scam, may stop being paid altogether.
