Civil service profession is returning to normal

The once popular rumor about civil servants quitting their jobs en masse is simply a rumor. The State Administration of Civil Service has announced that in 2015 fewer than 12,000 civil servants, or 0.2 percent of the total, quit their jobs; the figure was only slightly higher than the previous year.

But what is so special about civil servants that their resignations became a hot topic of public discussion?

The civil service is like any other profession. So if civil servants resign and shift to other professions, it should be considered a normal phenomenon not least because it helps the flow of talents in society.
