Assignors want people who can get the job done without causing problems that they have to deal with.

Even if the person who doesn't cause issues is somewhat of a lesser official, my experience is that an assignor will prefer that person to the better official who takes up more of his personal time.

My opinion is that Hess had his time and didn't manage it well. It's time to move on and give others the opportunity.
