When your only job is to complete the task that you were sent to complete and you REFUSE to complete the task, you have quit. In the business world when you refuse to do your job, regardless of the excuses you give you are either fired or your resignation is expected. 

Shall we consider this a mass resignation? 

Correct me if I'm wrong but there is still a job to do.

Try this: 

Take the gross amount of money available to spend, budget accordingly!! Don't walk away until there is a workable budget. 

I know this concept works as we all do this with your personal finances, and no, you can't just get tired of trying to figure it out and walk away. 

Grow up and do the job you were chosen to do, OR, we as the people accept your resignation.....
