Another message has been sent directly to the federal workforce from the OPM group behind “the fork in the road” messaging, titled “FORK IN THE ROAD FAQs”. The message is written to entice you to leave your career behind by resigning in return for vague promises with NOGUARANTEES. The intent behind this offer is so they can achieve their stated goal of removing 10 percent or more of the federal workforce without any regard for the important work you do or the services you provide. Think about that. They don’t even try to hide their disdain for you by making outright false and condescending statements. How dare they suggest that your career equates to “lower productivity jobs” or suggest that you “stay at home and relax.” As they are falsely attacking employees who have for decades delivered for the American people while teleworking, they are now saying they will pay them to NOT work for months. Does that make any sense to you?
The responses to the FAQs are written to sell you on this offer. These statements do not reflect reality and are an insult to the highly skilled, and experienced workforce, vital to the functioning of all federal agencies. The guidance provided is questionable at best and possibly violates the rules of conduct that federal employees are required to follow.
Don’t be fooled. Don’t follow this OPM group’s guidance.
DO NOT RESIGN.
