President Donald Trump has proposed a massive buyout to over 2 million federal employees, excluding military and postal workers, in an effort to reduce government spending, potentially triggering the largest job cut in U.S. history. The offer allows employees to continue receiving salaries for eight months if they resign by February 6, with at least 200,000 jobs at risk if just 10% accept.
