ATLANTA — Monday marked the first day that workers at several federal health agencies, including the Atlanta-based Centers for Disease Control and Prevention can opt-in to a federal buyout offer, according to officials.
A mass email went out to a “broad population of HHS employees.”
Officials say workers need to submit a response for the so-called voluntary separation offer by 5 p.m. on Friday, March 14.
The federal buyout is a part of the Trump Administration plan to shrink federal agencies across the country.
