The Department of Transport is panicking after experiencing a much higher amount of voluntary resignations than expected.

The Department of Transport is scrambling to retain its staff after thousands volunteered to resign.

About 4,700 people applied for a second resignation offer, amounting to around 9% of the agency’s total workforce.

The vast majority of offers are said to come from employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Employees facing resignation have been forced to attend a series of “career transition” workshops, described as “insulting.”

    Because he picked a single apple off the highest part of the tree, instead of the low hanging fruit that the DoD/Pentagon currently has on full display.
