MORE than 20,000 federal employees have accepted a brand new offer to quit their jobs and keep getting paid for seven more months – and President Donald Trump expects the number to rise.
The federal workforce has until Thursday to accept the buyout scheme from Trump and Elon Musk.

The scheme has taxpayers continuing to pay the former employees’ salaries through the end of September.
Trump’s administration expects even more people to resign as just 1% of the federal workforce has jumped on the deal ahead of the deadline.
The president reportedly expects 10% of the workforce will quit, according to Bloomberg.
Over 2.3 million people are civilian federal employees, meaning Trump hopes 200,000 people will take the deal.
The buyout package is for federal workers who don’t want to return to office.
