Re:20k federal workers take "buyout" so far, official says by Aurornis on Wednesday February 05, 2025 @04:08PM (#42955146)

This is why you should ignore any absolute numbers about people taking the buyout.

You want to look at the relative percentage taking the deal compared to their normal turnover.

If the number of people taking the "buyout" isn't significantly higher than their normal turnover, that's a sign that they're just overpaying people who were already leaving.
