Can we have a rule that states that any admin who

who quits in order to make a point has abdicated their responsibilities.
I used to be a manager; if I knew a valued employee was under some kind
of overwhelming personal or professional stress, and they said "I quit",
I'd say "go home and chill out, let's talk about it in a few days". Just
as for companies, WP has a significant investment in experienced people,
and it's foolish to throw it away on a whim. As they say in the
military, everybody breaks under torture, and we've been way too
tolerant of sadistic nutcases who will stop at nothing to get their way.
