CIA Offers Buyout to Entire Workforce as Part of Trump Makeover

Weren’t you ecstatic to bring in inexperienced IRS agents?

 

An “inexperienced IRS agent” would presumably be a new grad with an accounting degree/CPA.

Wouldn’t a CIA agent mostly have more specialized skills? Lots of military with intelligence backgrounds that could go to any federal law enforcement. But CIA need people with foreign language skills and more political knowledge of the foreign actors and criminal groups. Basically state department gets foreign policy nerds. CIA gets less nerdy foreign policy people or ex military intel that need to pass physical fitness for federal law enforcement. It’s the specialized knowledge you’d worry about losing from the CIA, things you won’t get from some college new grad.

 

Not particularly

 

You are talking about seasoned, trained intelligence personnel.
They are not robots. This is not plug and play.
Sheesh.

 

a dup thread but more accurate title than the other one

 

The offer of delayed resignation was made to all federal workers last week. There were exclusions including 'national security". This offer has now been extended to CIA. However, in the fine print is that CIA has to determine which job categories to exclude from the offer. That has not yet been determined so this won't be available to everyone. Delayed resignation means they would be put on administrative leave sometime in the future (department of commerce picked 28 feb) and will continue getting paid until 30 Sept at which time they will no longer be employed by them.

 

When it's a Dem they call it brilliant. Hypocrites.

Is there a plan to offer a buyout to Secret Service agents?

 

No but expect Trump to offer all libbies one tickets out of the country.
I’d raise taxes to pay for this.

 

Buyouts are typically offered in the form of an early out (ie, you dont need as many years of service to be eligible to retire and draw a pension). Therefore, the only population eligible would be older workers who, if they've been there for a while, tend to be higher grades. No conspiracy here

 

yep, I heard that on the way home from work after I submitted for deferred resignation. Although its doubtful I will be eligible for that put you never know, Pete could come through.
