I miraculously got hired for the same Civil Engineering position by a private firm 2 weeks later (I was literally under/unemployed for 2 years so this was insane fortune).

I got a call from USDA telling me not only am I reinstated and getting back pay, I also have the chance to do the ‘deferred resignation’ bullshit Elon came up with so I’d get paid until September.

It’s great I’m literally getting paid to do nothing, it’s great I’m literally stealing funds from the great satan but but I feel bad because…

Well, because this money is not coming directly from the private coffers of Elon.

And I actually believed in the mission of the agency.

But shrug-outta-hecks I guess I come out of this winning (?) AND unquestionably fucking over the Federal government

Just remember that they're not actually committed to the mission of the agency right now. Take the money, and work both jobs at the same time if you can get away with it.
