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.”

        It wasn’t about cutting spending, DOGE has three objectives:

        • cut pesky investigations that were bothering elon

      Increases in other contracts that funnel tax money into oligarc pockets but provide no value to tax payers, decrease in revenue collected to offset expenses due to IRS cuts and tax code changes, and the other big one is from judicial fund settlements that have already surpassed pre trump levels.
