Official Email Urges Federal Workers to Find More Productive Jobs

The message reiterated an offer for a chance to take a second job or travel to a “dream destination” and remain on the federal payroll for months. But questions remain about whether that would be legal.

Late on Thursday, the most difficult day that Federal Aviation Administration employees had faced in decades, they received an email from government personnel officials, reiterating an offer from earlier this week to resign.

In a mass email sent to federal employees just before 8:30 p.m. — almost exactly 24 hours after an air crash in Washington that killed 67 people — the Office of Personnel Management encouraged F.A.A. workers, including air traffic controllers, to look for new jobs outside of government, where they might have an opportunity to be more productive.

“We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so,” stated the email, which was reviewed by The New York Times. “The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.”
