Why Trump and Google Are Paying Employees to Quit—And What It Means for Your Business

What unexpected thing do both President Donald Trump and Google have in common? They both offered “buyouts” to current employees for the same reasons—to cut headcount and strengthen company and agency mission alignments.
Trump’s “Fork” memo offered federal employees the chance to resign between January 28 and midnight, February 6 (with an extension added by court order until February 10), in exchange for being paid until September 30, without working.
