Offer to 2m employees for eight months’ severance pay and benefits expires on Thursday night at 11.59pm ET
The deadline for federal workers to decide whether to accept a buyout offer from the Trump administration loomed on Thursday as reports said more than 40,000 workers had already chosen to take it.
The offer, which expires on 6 February at 11.59pm ET, was emailed from the Trump administration’s office of personnel management (OPM) last week.
