Kudos to her. But what if she, and the others, had forced the administration to fire them?

Well, she was a day 1 Trump appointment. So she's not exactly an active member of the opposition. Making a statement by resigning is the old school standard response for an appointee in this position.

For rank and file civil service employees, I'd absolutely encourage staying in your position. Ditto for any leftover appointments from previous administrations.
