The military is most of the way there. Officers major and above get all kinds of medals for butt-kisser desk jobs. Fetching coffee for a colonel and doing his PowerPoint briefing slides is a real career enhancer. Forget taking an organization in trouble and shaping it up, or doing a good job on deployment. Being an office golden-boy is where the promotion opportunities are.
Actually, not so. Most of the guys getting the nod today have spent at least 3 of the last five years away from their families in command assignments in Iraq and Afghanistan. If you are not in the box, you are not going anywhere.
