#3Interesting they say their goal is 5-10% when normal attrition is six percent, that means essentially their goal is -6 to 4%

#4> The buyout offer entitles federal employees to stop working more or less immediately and continue to be paid through Sept. 30.
> The federal workforce's normal attrition rate is about 6% a year, meaning some of those who've taken the buyout may have been planning to leave government service anyway.
Wow, talk about an amazing deal if you already happened to be planning on leaving...
