Hound are you familiar with the Peter Principle? Seems like I mentioned it sometime in the past and you seemed unfamiliar with it. I knew of it before it being covered in a a management class in business school. It is very simple, in a bureaucracy everyone is promoted to their highest level of incompetence. The rational is it is easier to promote than terminate and gets them out from under whoever recommends them for promotion. I can't believe you spent 30+ years in federal government and never experienced it, or more importantly took advantage of it. If you didn't maybe you have heard about the suckered at the poker table. Just in case you don't know that one it's simple also, look around the poker table and if you can't spot the sucker, then it's you. You can't deny the Peter Principle exists. It has been taught in business schools for decades. I witnessed it in my short time on a government funded agency. One of the reasons I had to get out.
