Civil Servants Rarely Get The Blame

If you want to avoid the chop and being blamed for poor performance then it looks like working as a Civil Servant is the line of work to get into.

This should come as no suprise because as their alternative name Bureaucrat suggests they are the sort of person more interested in 'the process' rather than people.

This means that 'success' for them is a creating and managing systems rather than ensuring that the process delivers solutions for the users.

What you measure is what you get, what gets rewarded gets measured first.

Civil servants don't fear the sack because by their self invented, self referential measures they succeed in everything they do.
