  • But Poole, an Air Force veteran who now works as a civilian trainer, says he's lost all trust in the government as President Donald Trump pushes a now-or-never buyout on federal workers and Democrats seem powerless to stop him.

The article from MSN discusses the reactions of federal employees to former President Donald Trump's proposal to offer buyouts to federal workers as part of his plan to reduce the size of the federal government if he were to win a second term. Many federal employees view this proposal with skepticism and concern, feeling that it signifies a lack of appreciation for their service. The buyout offer, which would provide financial incentives for employees to leave their positions, is seen by some as an attempt to purge the bureaucracy of those not aligned with Trump's political views. Employees express feelings of being undervalued and worry about the implications for government functionality and their own career stability.
