Do you fear that you'll be targeted for your opinions?

I'm comparing the CoC of the military to something easier for the passerby to understand. People are more likely to understand the structure of a bank than they are understanding the military chain of command. I'm looking for an example that makes it easier on others, not trying to make a case for bank CEO's being unable to be moved on or out.

This example means that The President is the Chief Executive, General officers are the branch managers, The senior officers below them as the assistants, or department leads.

The order of succession in the military is something easily thwarted by a resignation or two. Those General Officers have immediate subordinates. Their resignation does not stop lawful orders from the executive branch from being carried out by the subordinate who replaces them. That man is still tasked with executing those orders even if the preceding 20 people resigned for them to be placed in that position.

What pressure is there on the executive branch to change if they have a ready cast of Officers obligated to carry out lawful orders even if they disagree with them?

Now my question for you is this:

If resignations are a legitimate means of belaying lawful orders and exacting meaningful policy changes, where were those resignations while Trump was penning the deal with the Taliban? Where were they when that deal with signed? Why are they necessary now that the administrations have changed?

So your branch managers have resigned. Yeah, its chaotic. What does it fix? The CEO is still the CEO and the assistant branch manager is still expected to play ball.

If the CEO is unable to be removed, what does a changing of the guard exactly fix?

If your answer to fixing problems is a power vacuum and internal chaos, you're creating more issues than you're fixing, and are doing nothing to help the people impacted by that.

Self resignations are nothing more than quitters tapping out while proclaiming "Not my problem anymore". Forced resignations are just the sacrificial lamb to appease the mob.

Don't be obtuse.

Spoiler: An honorable person resigning from their post does not improve the situation, or remedy the issues. It's just removing a person with an understanding of the issues from the equation to make a gesture to the crowd through a sacrificial lamb.

"Should Upper management resign for the decisions of the CEO at the time?"
