    Do they have hobbies/beliefs/sycophantic mannerisms similar to the bosses in charge? Because that’ll get you promoted. A lot of management are lonely people who don’t view others as equals unless they suck up or never argue, thus useless people get promoted so they can hang with “friends” in meetings all day.

    Or good old nepotism.

        That’s life. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace - at least at some point they volunteered to serve. Plus they are usually team players who can follow simple directions.

        I also believe in mandatory state service (civil or military).

          That’s life discriminatory favoritism. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace of unfair special treatment - at least at some point they volunteered to serve the military industrial complex. Plus they are usually team players who servile and can follow simple directions orders without questioning.

          I also believe in am wrong about mandatory state service (civil or military)

          Fixed it for you.
