There are several ways to get promotions in government. The following list shows some examples.
1. Ass kissing and Brown nosing.
2. Nepotism and cronyism.
3. Earning it.
Of course, number 3 is usually the least probable, and 2 and 1 are very typical. Based on the foregoing, if a person is a huge success story, one should already know why. Moreover, don't trust permanent government (establishment, deep swamp or state, but really it's the deep sewer). Their tentacles are far reaching, and they seem like the friendliest people you ever meet. Similar personality types exist in the private sector, but not as common because most people are there to get the job done and aren't playing with someone else's money.

The thing is that number 2 and number 1 often believe they are number 3.
