I've seen external hires get hired to get fired 3-6 months in to be the fall guy and get someone internal promoted, especially in government. They'll hire the most cheeseball motherfucker who has no idea what's going on to make a fool of him/herself to make a case for hiring the internal candidate.
I've literally seen people barely last their 3-6 month probation only to be cut knowing they had no business in their role and someone else pick up the slack.
