These feds took Trump's 'fork' deal. Then they got fired.
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.
