    “A senior administration official told NBC News that they expect 5%-10% of the federal workforce to quit, which, they estimate, could lead to around $100 billion in savings.”

    If they quit now, and are paid for another 8 months, how does that save any money?

    Similarly, if they quit and need to be replaced, you’re going to spend more money hiring and training the replacement, so for 8 months you’re paying double salary, one for the person who quit and one for their replacement…
