‘Back to office or you’re fired!’: Donald Trump issues final warning to federal employees

The Trump administration has introduced a policy requiring federal employees to return to in-person work by 6 February 2025 or opt for a voluntary "deferred resignation" scheme. Employees choosing to resign will retain pay and benefits until 30 September 2025. The White House expects up to 10% of federal workers to take this offer. The policy, aimed at reducing remote work, has sparked criticism from employee unions, warning of disruptions in public services. The administration also plans restructuring, potential furloughs, and reclassification of workers.
