  • Chonda Loder says she took the Trump administration's buyout offer because her job is no longer the "secure and family-friendly position that it used to be."

The article discusses the case of a 33-year-old federal worker, Michael Hollis, who accepted a buyout offer from former President Donald Trump and resigned from his position at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Hollis, who had been with the VA for 11 years, took the buyout as part of Trump's initiative to reduce the federal workforce. The buyout was intended to streamline government operations and reduce costs. Hollis, who was working in a supervisory role, decided to leave because he felt the offer was financially beneficial for his family, especially given the uncertainties of federal job security and potential changes in administration policies. He expressed mixed feelings about leaving, acknowledging the stability and benefits of his job but also recognizing the need to make a decision that was best for his personal and family's future. The article highlights the personal considerations and broader implications of such buyout offers on federal employees.
