Here's how I understood your comment: if (workOutput == good) { if (hours == long) { careerGrowth = TRUE; } else { careerGrowth = TRUE; } } else { if (hours == long) { careerGrowth = FALSE; } else { careerGrowth = FALSE; } } However, I'm pretty sure this code can be refactored to: if (workOutput == good) { careerGrowth = TRUE; } else { careerGrowth = FALSE; } Therefore, long hours don't matter.

In my experience, it's generally the stupid ones who like to grab power and appoint themselves "king".
