President Trump has a straightforward message to federal employees who refuse to show up for in-person work: “You’re fired.”
As The Gateway Pundit reported on Tuesday, Trump offered buyouts to millions of federal workers if they resign by February 6. The workers who accept Trump’s offer will receive pay and benefits through September 30.
DOGE leader and X owner Elon Musk has pointed out this is a fair and generous deal, especially compared to what happens when private sector workers get canned.
It’s important to note that Trump’s offer does not include postal workers, military personnel, immigration officials, or people in national security roles.
But now, the 47th President is raising the stakes for those who refuse his incredibly generous offer. A short time ago, Trump addressed the media regarding this issue during a press conference, during which he signed the Laken Riley Act into law.
He started by reminding federal employees of their obligation to the American people and pointed out how inefficient public workers are without supervision.
“We have informed the federal workforce that if they are working for the federal government, they must show up to the office on time and on schedule,” Trump began. “We don’t want them to work from home because most of the time they’re not working, they’re not very productive.”
Trump then informed federal workers of the dire consequences if they defied him.
“As federal employees, they must meet a high standard,” he continued. “If they don’t agree by February 6 to show up back to work in their office, they will be terminated.”
