- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

They sent out an email trying to trick federal employees into resigning over email. And they sent it out to people who are in charge of all of the technical things going on. Needless to say the vast majority just ignored it.
I'd like to see that email, any chance you've got it quick at hand?
Unfortunately, much as I would like to put it out there, posting that email online isn't something I'm comfortable doing with everything going on and how up in the air things are currently. I can say that if you search online you might be able to find it, and if not a full version of it you can kinda get a good idea of what it is. It basically says if you reply resign to the email you will be put on a deferred resignation and be able to still gain pay for like 8 months or something of that nature. Needless to say, not many people are doing that because it's very sketchy seeming. I wouldn't trust musk lackeys not to get that response and immediately let you go with no money. It also leaves things like retirement and other benefits up in the air. And at the end it gives a thinly veiled threat about changing employee positions to be at will and people having positions and jobs eliminated. It makes very little sense and is very legally sketchy. It also is trying to go around the very large bargaining units present in the FAA.
Edit: Sergio has posted a response that shows exactly the email and a response from one of the unions that you can take a look at.
Its funny they would try something like that in jobs where there are so many kinds of official paperwork. It completely sounds like scam email trying to get you to click a link.
Absolutely. Honestly I think they are so used to taking over companies where they can just do whatever they want they have zero idea how much is involved with federal employees.
