    Probably has something to do with retirement funds. If you have been paying into the system for 30+ years you need that money when you retire and don’t want to see it wiped out or reduced if you are fired.

    Being principled in government jobs has a high cost.

      this makes a lot of sense to me. I can understand choosing to resign if this is the case.
