Here’s my quick review:
Go to work everyday with the thought that you will do the right thing and follow the rules. Help improve the process when you can, but that may require stepping on a few toes. Find yourselves languishing at a less than desirable duty station until you get a big break in a major case. Hopefully that will get you noticed and promoted to SAC.
Or just kiss a lot of ass, talk a great job, take credit from the agents described above, make political connections, and do the dirty work of the boss, while keeping the dirt on them. This will guarantee continuous promotions. McCabe, etal, chose this route.
Yep. I have never lied to any employer. Where did it get me? Laid off in government with 16 years of service. Then again, who would want to work for an employer, The State of Arizona, like that?
Luckily for me I have a rich mother who will now to be able to leave a generous inheritance thanks to Trump. A mother who was glad I was laid off because she knew The State of Arizona was one of the worst employers anyone would want to be employed by.
Close, very close.
It’s the willingness to get dirty.
All the way up to engaging a failed coup.
And then strutting around the chumployment line
