[Vision2020] Oh, My EYES :-( Plumber's Butt, the UI, and AlliedBarton

? Inside hires don't really save money. The person moving up gets the salary of 
the new position, and then their department has to hire a replacement.

If there is a way to waste more money, UI will find it even if they have to hire
