I still don't understand the question. Resignation because you don't feel you are able to fulfill the commitments of your job is a pretty standard way to publicly resign from some public service position in protest? There's probably a couple of hundred of years worth of examples.

Don't feed the trolls. You're arguing with somebody who is being obtuse.

Resigning in protest has been common over the years. Of course (like reading the TFA?). I don't see it being effective besides bringing attention to the problem. In this case, it's not like there isn't enough attention. There's already plenty of attention. During the first Trump round, there seemed to be an effort to resist and obstruct from the inside. In some cases pretty effective. That also seems to be something Trump is trying to fight this time around. He noticed. Still an option. A third method would be to remain in place, mitigate as possible, but mostly maintain the knowledge and experience in place to rebuild things at the next opportunity. I'm sure more ways can be dug out from history too. So, yeah, there are options.

  > There's already plenty of attention. This is what you're missing. No there isn't. The more people who publicly pay a high personal cost to bring further attention to these problems, the more awareness there will be among the electorate. The "effort to resist and obstruct from the inside" was largely driven from the top, cabinet officials and agency heads pushing back, not from people at the edges ignoring or countermanding direction.

  What would you do if your employer asked you to do something unethical? For me, I would resign. Yes, they'll probably find someone else that is willing and able to do it, but I don't want to do the unethical thing.
