      He never even got a pretend promotion.

        I got one of these once

        We did performance reviews, my boss tells me I’m getting a promotion. “Wow, I didn’t expect that, what’s my new title?”

        After some clarification I learned no title change, no role or responsibility change, but I got a standard of living top up.

        The “promotion” meant I was meeting expectations and other people weren’t getting standard of living raises anymore. They also cut a bunch of fringe benefits at the same time. Not a good sign.

          Yeah my company does that. They’ve promised that we can get a standard of living adjustment but also at the same time they point blank refusing to give us it until December. Because they know that everyone will leave if they don’t do that.

        It’s because he kept dying. Every time there was a new Harry, he had to start from the bottom again.

          I guess that’s kind of why Jadzia wasn’t a captain or admiral. Each new host was forced to start all over (despite having all the knowledge/experience of previous hosts).

            Your guess is absolutely spot on.

            I don’t think any of her previous hosts were in Starfleet.

    During his depictions on the shows, at least, O’Brien was in the position of transporter chief, held the rank of chief petty officer, and later became chief of operations on DS9, eventually achieving the rank of senior chief petty officer.

    In his original appearances on TNG he had lieutenant’s pips, though, and was even referred to as such. At one point he had an ensign’s pip instead. He was retconned into being an NCO because apparently the writers were really trying to make his first name functionally be “Chief” for some damn reason.

    Can we take a moment to appreciate how genius the design of this comic is for how unbelievably easy it makes creating a new issue?

    That’s an episode of TNG where he got to leave to pick up after an anti grav dolly malfunctioned. I imagine it was quite a thrill.
