The State Department is a slow organization with internal careers. I feel like you see the same in a lot of other career, conservative, small number at the top, higher payoff if you get there fields (legal, medical, academia, finance).
The amount of effort required to be sycophantic is minor in relation to the past 10+ years of work that your superior could torpedo on a whim.
