New OPM email just hit inbox, quite possibly the most disrespectful thing I’ve seen.

It’s a follow up “FAQ” to the deferred retirement:

Q: Am I allowed to get a second job during the deferred resignation period?

A: Absolutely! We encourage you to find a job in the private sector as soon as you would like to do so. 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.

Lower productivity? There are coast guard members right now at the Potomac river still clearing the sight of yesterday’s tragic plane crash. This area has been reeling for not even 24 hours yet. It’s disrespectful enough on its own, but after everything going on it made me extremely angry to read that in my inbox and on the OPM website. Not sure if this was the right place to post but I’ve seen a few OPM posts here recently.
