Summary

IRS employees who accepted the Trump administration’s buyout offer have been told they must continue working until May 15 because their roles are deemed “essential.”

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) had offered voluntary resignations and warned of future downsizing for those who stayed.

Uncertainty now surrounds the offer’s implementation, sparking frustration among employees.

The National Treasury Employees Union criticized the move, arguing it proves IRS workers are vital, especially during tax season, and that federal job cuts risk harming public services.

    Wait, I thought Elon and his DOGE cronies were in charge of monies now. What’s the IRS even for?

      Elon and DOGE took over the Treasury, not the IRS.

      He has the power to shut down the economy. Because he wants to.
