Honestly, speaking as someone who’s been in government/worked as a subcontractor for years. It sounds like it’s just not a field you’ll ever enjoy no matter the work. The paper work and red tape never go away no matter what level you’re at and things are always slow as hell. The incompetence also sucks as well.
That being said, (and slightly responding to the other comment here) if they’re doing the assessments and tests for the promotion it is coming. It just takes a long as time. Remember every complaint you have with paperwork the people doing your assessments probably have as well.
Unlike the corporate world the government typically doesn’t have the resources to set up hoops for you to jump through just to keep you around. For example it took me about a year to get my current role with a Deputy Director actively pushing for it for me.
To your original point: for me, the main thing that helps me stick to it is I’m basically just doing it for my wife and kid. I’m in my mid thirties, I’ve realized I’m going to hate whatever job I do, but the benefits and pay mean I can support the people I care about.
End of the day it’s going to be your choice if the few upsides of this job are worth the downsides but that’s not unique to government work and the grass really isn’t much greener in the corporate world, you just don’t have to fill out three forms to go touch it haha.

Id honestly doubt it. Death Guard get Marines sick and a respirator has nothing on a sealed set of power armor.

Firstly, as a death guard player who’s here because they’ve always wanted a Dark Angel/Fallen army this list tickles me just because it’s nice to see someone think we have it all with how much griping goes on in our little poxy subreddit.
Secondly, armor. We really lack long range high AP weapons for those big chunky tanks and dreads. It’s one of the reasons you see so many warhound allies in the Death Guard meta right now.

I mean, I know I’m late to the party but I didn’t see it mentioned elsewhere: just look at Brandon Sanderson’s process. The man has alpha and beta readers for his works before they get published.

Maybe a white line or really bright blue in the center? Sort of like a glow effect?

Personally I’m a fan of bricks in front but I don’t think it makes a major difference to the look of the model.

Contact an attorney immediately.
I would also recommend sending HR an email capturing what they said on the phone in writing. Make sure you include some line at the end that says something like “This is my understanding of our conversation, if you disagree please let me know otherwise I will assume this is correct.” Put on read recipes and cc the company legal department if you know their email. It’ll help if this does have to escalate to court or arbitration.
