Great news this didn't make his job harder it made it easier. The new boss no longer has to waste his time purging the ranks of leftist hacks.
This is good news.

This seems like a really good thing. I am sure many were useless anyway!

A self-draining swamp, outstanding.
The lefties think this will make DJTs job harder. It might, but if they resigned en bloc, there wasn't a patriotic American in the lot - just a bunch of globalist apparatchiks.
And watch where they go - probably a bunch of neo-con "think tanks".

LOL, there go all your benefits (unless they retired) If you quite, doesn't that mean you lose all your benefits? this should save the taxpayers a few bucks.
it seems most of these people were smart enough to retire, so they didn't actually "resign or quit"
so they get to retain their benefits

This is not a great development. The career staffers at State are a wealth of knowledge and experience and not having that resource is a loss.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
EXCELLENT!
We want all of the entrenched anti-Amercian Leftist bureaucrats out, anyway.

Many of these career bureaucrats are staunch Democrats and try to steer our nation's course from within the bureaucracy. Whatever hardship this causes in the short term will be a greater benefit in the long term.

This is a great thing, although I believe its happening for underhanded reasons.
Ill bet 2 nickles that Soros is actively working to "convince" (financially motivated) people in high positions to resign in an effort to hinder the Trump Admin.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s job running the State Department just got considerably more difficult. The entire senior level of management officials resigned Wednesday, part of an ongoing mass exodus of senior foreign service officers who don’t want to stick around for the Trump era.
NO it made it easier ..

Bureaucrats Bring 500 Refugees Into Country One Day Before Trump’s Expected Ban
Bureaucrats at the State Department brought 500 refugees into the country on Tuesday, one day before President Trump “is expected to order a multi-month ban on allowing refugees into the United States except for religious minorities escaping persecution, until more aggressive vetting is in place,” according to Reuters.
The temporary ban on refugees will be one of several executive orders on immigration President Trump will sign on Wednesday, Reuters reports. “Another order will block visas being issued to anyone from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen, said the aides and experts, who asked not to be identified.”

The fact that these scumbags did this is infuriating. But, its just 1 more example of how tge past 8 years have been as a whole.

That's fine. As the old saying went: Don't go away mad. Just go away.
Or...as the bug in "Men in Black" responded to Edgar's statement, "Over my dead body." ----- Your proposal is acceptable.
The 500 can just as easily be sent back home, nothing to worry about.
Wow, imagine that! Because quite frankly, the populace with German lineage is so much higher, the highest in the country by the way, I can't understand the absence of a German White House page! LMAO...
Funny how it only works one way!
because you know that would just be catering to the privileged whites.

A couple people retired and a couple are requesting reassignment. Based on historical performance at this level I believe there is more benefit than harm with this development.

When Obama turned his back on Mubarak it was over the objection of the career staff at State. Luckily it worked out OK with Sissi coming in power, but had Morsi and the Brotherhood remained in charge we would have a major (new) issue in the region.

Wave Of State Department Personnel Resign, Are Fired As Tillerson Takes Control
Wave Of State Department Personnel Resign, Are Fired As Tillerson Takes Control | Zero Hedge
Update: according to a CNN report - so as always take with lots of salt - the story has shifted materially, because according to two senior administration officials, it wasn't a resignation by the State Department officials, but more of a termination: "the Trump administration told four top State Department management officials that their services were no longer needed as part of an effort to "clean house" at Foggy Bottom."
Patrick Kennedy, who served for nine years as the undersecretary for management, Assistant Secretaries for Administration and Consular Affairs Michele Bond and Joyce Anne Barr, and Ambassador Gentry Smith, director of the Office for Foreign Missions, were sent letters by the White House that their service was no longer required, the sources told CNN.
All four, career officers serving in positions appointed by the President, submitted letters of resignation per tradition at the beginning of a new administration. The letters from the White House said that their resignations were accepted and they were thanked for their service.
The White House usually asks career officials in such positions to stay on for a few months until their successors are confirmed.
"Any implication that that these four people quit is wrong," one senior State Department official said. "These people are loyal to the secretary, the President and to the State Department. There is just not any attempt here to dis the President. People are not quitting and running away in disgust. This is the White House cleaning house."

A great source of knowledge and experience in getting US personnel killed, destroying countries and adding 1000's of new jihadis to the ranks.
They are Obolaite apparatchiks and, thus, traitors.
Read some recent history - you are wrong, full stop.
