38. No. I worked for the State of PA. The supervisors had some previous
connection with the organization-a parent had been a supervisor, etc, or had good political contacts. Civil Service rules are pretty much only a guideline for management jobs.

They DID really like to hire former union stewards for low level management jobs because they liked them to feel like traitors and have knowledge of the union's "tricks" (as they saw it).

They were the worst group I ever worked for and it seemed like it went all the way to the governor's office. (Rendell)
