Right. But typically the next in line moves on as “acting” until the position is filled permanently. (And that is what happened.) The next in line was a woman but I found out today she went to the private sector a while ago - Walmart, I guess.
Hope I did not come across as curt. It was not intentional.
I would like to know what happened, too. If you find out more details, please include me in the loop.
Every time I see your posts here you seem to bring some deep insight into how things work behind the scenes. We need more of that.
