We've Got The Neutron Bomb

Admiral Akbar: It's A Trap! Just a word of warning to anyone that might be employed at ePrize... If your boss ever tells you that they've got a plan for you and your career path: run. Get that resume out and start pounding the pavement (I know, I know, it's hard when you're working 100 hours a week to find time to interview or even put a CV together).

"A Plan" can take shape in several ways:
  1. It's a carrot. If you do a good job with this, we'll create a new position for you or move you to the department you want.
  2. It's a set-up. We want to put you in a position where you're destined to fail so we can get rid of you.
  3. It's a bluff. We want to keep you around so we'll tell you that we've had you on a career path you weren't even aware of.

Diz -- It doesn't necessarily take blood. You could go to the same temple. That helps. It's a hotbed for recruiting.
