That leads to this?

This article may explain why you received that e-mail, and what's going on at OPM:

Elon Musk Lackeys Have Taken Over the Office of Personnel Management

Sources tell WIRED that the OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin.

Looks like all Federal/Government Employees will be offered an easy out next week.

Unless folks were already planning to retire or leave I don't know too many folks who would take it.

Government civilians only, Executive branch-wide. Remote and telework cancelled pending justification process. Suspect it will be a high bar for those not under Reasonable Accommodation for disability. Some collective bargaining agreements include remote work stipulations. This will probably end up in the courts on those.

It'll be a tough knot to unwind, a lot of government agencies shed office space in the past few years to save money since many of their personnel went remote. There are also agreements with some employee groups and unions that can't just be cancelled.
