I remain confused by these civil servants simply 'resigning'. My assumption is that they forego benefits/insurance, etc by doing that, rather than forcing the inept cabinet members to try to find 'cause' and fire them, at which point they can collect unemployment, negotiate a severance, etc.
Government jobs work differently than corporations. There's a lot more red tape like security clearance to getting one of these jobs than a typical business job as your usually dealing with classified information on some level every day. They can take your pension benefits away among other things I imagine if you are fired rather than resigning.
For all we know they’ve spent the last 6 months finding a good replacement job.
