These feds took Trump's 'fork' deal. Then they got fired. [View all]
Dave Elmstrom knew what he would do when the Trump administration’s resignation offer, titled “Fork in the Road,” landed in his inbox: take it.
Elmstrom, a probationary employee at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, had a job giving green-energy grants to farmers: an immediate target for Trump, he suspected.
He replied “resign” on Feb. 5, according to an email reviewed by The Washington Post. He also signed a resignation agreement, although no supervisor could tell him where to send it.
Eight days later, Elmstrom was fired for “performance.” A human resources worker told him probationary employees were no longer eligible for the “fork” offer. Plunged into doubt, he pondered tapping into his savings - until, hours after The Washington Post contacted the Office of Personnel Management on Wednesday to ask about cases like Elmstrom’s, he received an email declaring he was accepted after all.
