Subject: Re: About 75K Fed'l Workers Accept Retirement Pro
Had there been more uptake, it would have been likely that this would have resulted in some reduced personnel expenditure for the government. But at this level, there's now a very good chance that the program did little more than give a paid vacation to all the people who would have left in the next 7-8 months anyway.

Packages are a very common thing in the private sector. A lot of federal employees are going to wish they'd taken Trump up on the offer.
