Join the conversation with TJ Smith. The latest episode of the podcast delves into the pressing issue of federal worker buyouts. With nearly 2 million federal employees facing a tough decision, the implications of these forced choices warrant a comprehensive discussion. Could the buyouts lead to a vital restructuring, or will they inadvertently create cracks in the government’s capability to function effectively? Join us as we unravel the complexities and the human element involved in massive federal workforce reductions. We also explore the ripple effects these workforce decisions may have on the local economies and the broader community of civil servants.
