It gets weirder when they train you how to evade polygraphs as part of your role.. only to have you take one for your re investigation and to be asked "have you ever tried to evade a polygraph" or something along those lines. Of course you're not in a SCIF and your training or having been exposed to that training may in fact be classified. Quite the pickle..
I imagine that Intelligence has some of the same management problems that every other western company has and at some point management ends up mortgaging some of the trust and rapport they have built with their employees in order to Make the Numbers Go Up, at which point you challenge their motivations and you have no idea if they are quietly quitting or engaging in outright sabotage.
