For the military... not really. They have a concept called “high year of tenure” which limits how long a soldier can remain in a rank without being promoted. You are meant to advance and if you don’t advance you will be separated out.
For example if you join the Army as a specialist (E4) you have 8 years to get promoted or you’re essentially kicked out.
- seanmcdirmid 7y agoIsn’t that the same thing? You eventually reach a level where you can’t perform at the next and become classed as incompetent. Though I would think for enlisted this happens much less than officers.
- gowld 7y agoNo, you get promoted to level of competence, then fired after several years instead of becoming incompetent.
- hurricanetc 7y agoIt would be the same thing if promotions weren’t so ludicrous. If you are an enlisted and want to get a promotion your best bet is to max your PT scores. It really has nothing to do with your ability to do a job at all.
