In our administrative reality, however, it may now deserve a revised version: "If it ends with a promotion, who cares about the past?" Merit, responsibility, competence, and discipline seem increasingly destined for the dictionary rather than the civil service. In practice, they have been replaced by a mysterious philosopher's stone whose touch can breathe new life into retirement and transform dismissal from service into a stepping stone to promotion.
