How to succeed in the Senior Executive Service

I am very cranky due to the extreme heat in DC at the moment. I damn near expired on the sidewalk near the metro station. Morale at work is just terrible at the moment. One of the bosses said that we have to make do with less. It is really amazing what I can do with EXCEL and some duct tape.

We have have a new SES member. Here is a recipe for success for a Senior Executive Service:

Reorg your dept (This indicates 'Change')
Alienate all your staff (This indicates 'Management')
Add more products they are responsible for('Efficiency')
Don't hire anyone to replace the mass exodus
Stir for 12 months then accept promotion to higher SES
Congratulations you are on your way to Deputy baby!
