State Department employees were allegedly seen crying in their cars because morale at the department was so low, CNN’s Washington correspondent tweeted Tuesday.

The tweet follows President Donald Trump’s firing of Rex Tillerson Tuesday. The secretary of state was reportedly asked Friday to return to Washington from a trip abroad and told he would be fired. (RELATED: Trump Fires Tillerson, Moves Pompeo, Picks New CIA Director)

Trump will replace Secretary of State Rex Tillerson with CIA Director Mike Pompeo.

Editor’s note: This post has been updated to reflect “seasoned diplomats” were allegedly seen crying in their cars due to low morale.
