It's not every executive office personnel that's replaced when a new president comes in, usually just the positions that require Senate approval. New secretary of state, secretary of agriculture, secretary of the interior, their direct deputies who are second in command, etc. But the large majority of people who work at these departments or agencies stay on the job however long regular people stay at jobs (cuz they are regular people), from short to essentially their entire career.
It would create so, so much time to retrain new people for all of the official type workers, would lose so much productivity, government services wouldn't continue to function uninterrupted, institutional knowledge is retained. These workers follow the lead of whomever the president appoints and the Senate confirms.

Lost productivity is the best part
