More than 100,000 U.S. federal workers are set to formally resign — the largest such mass departure in history — under a Trump administration program aimed at sweeping workforce cuts, The Guardian reported.

The resignations come as Congress faces a midnight Tuesday deadline to approve funding or trigger a government shutdown. Federal agencies have also been ordered to prepare mass firing plans if no deal is reached.

Workers described “months of fear and intimidation” that pushed them out. “Federal workers stay for the mission.

When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” a longtime FEMA employee told The Guardian.
