Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is reportedly cleaning house at the State Department. Staffers in the offices of deputy secretary of state for management and resources as well as counselor were shown the door Thursday.

Many of those let go were on the building’s 7th floor - top-floor bigs - a symbolically important sign to the rest of the diplomatic corps that their new boss has different priorities than the last one. The staffing changes came as Tillerson was on his first foreign trip, attending a G-20 meeting in Bonn, Germany.

This week’s round of firings marks the 2nd time State Department personnel have been cleared out since President Trump took office last month. Four top officials were cleared out of the building at the end of January.

“As is standard with every transition, the outgoing administration, in coordination with the incoming one, requested all politically appointed officers submit letters of resignation,” a State Department spokesman said at the time.
