Whoa.
A company I worked for did this years ago... said they expected 10, maaaaybe 20% to take it. 54% did and they panicked, losing most of their best people.
This is gonna be a clusterf*ck of epic proportions.
They want the clusterfuck. Remember, the whole goal is to break the government and install Trump as king.
Its just a half assed plan. His leverage all comes from being head of the executive branch of the richest and post powerful country on Earth. Making that institution dysfunctional and unpopular only weakens his position.
But 1) I sincerely don't think he sees it that way and 2) it doesn't weaken Putin's position. I don't honestly believe Trump is a direct asset, but I 100% believe Putin has people closer enough to pull strings and plant ideas with a man who is very clearly open to any suggestions if they are pitched with a populist and/or 1%er bent.
Trump thinks that's the plan. In reality he's executing Russia/China's "Weaken the US enough" plan.
Stay and risk having to work for a leadership committing atrocities. Leave and risk there only being loyalists working for the them, further enabling the atrocities.
This isn't a buyout though. With a buyout you get a lump sum of money and can go work somewhere else. This is just letting them work from home. And without any guarantees that you won't be let go anyway for a different reason.
It's a buyout.
Using the word "buyout" does not make it a buyout. Read the details, they're not exempt from work, they simply won't be fired because their supervisor doesn't have work for them to do.
