No. They’ll get promoted into management. It’s the American way........

Fail up. In 35 years at [major defense contractor], two as an Air Force contractor, and two at [a major Federal research laboratory] I saw it again and again.

Joe Biden is livin' the 'Merican dream.

Yep. I was a DoD contractor for three years at the Pentagon and saw that quite a bit. I specifically remember one guy - Air Force - who retired as a light colonel. Held his retirement ceremony, he went home, and showed back up two months later as a contractor, himself. Even kept his same office and desk, we just secured it while he was out. His hair was shaggy, and he’d looked like he’d spent most of his remaining leave drinking beer and eating pizza. I was shocked how much of a blubber gut he’d put on in 60 days.
