“Here Ya Go. Fuck You.”

According to the Washington Post[1], most of the State Department’s mid/senior management has resigned en masse.

“It’s the single biggest simultaneous departure of institutional memory that anyone can remember, and that’s incredibly difficult to replicate,” said David Wade, who served as State Department chief of staff under Secretary of State John Kerry. “Department expertise in security, management, administrative and consular positions in particular are very difficult to replicate and particularly difficult to find in the private sector.”

    Some reports say they quit, others say they were fired.

    It’s hard to tell which to believe at this point, since some of the sources seem to be the same.
