Imagine this: you’re sitting at your desk, daydreaming about vacation, when your boss walks in and offers you eight months of paid leave just to quit. No strings attached, no awkward goodbyes—just a fat severance check and the freedom to disappear. Would you even hesitate? I wouldn’t. I’d be out the door faster than you can say “overpaid bureaucrat.”

And while the rest of us are wondering where to sign up, federal workers are freaking out. Why? Because this isn’t just a nice retirement bonus; it’s a signal that Trump isn’t playing around when he talks about slashing government waste. And trust me, they know their programs are next.
