Working for The Powers was like any other job. Come in, punch the clock, do your best, get a raise, move up from guarding guys in stone cages to guys in metal cages until you get to the guys in fire cages. Basic security job. Behind a desk or in a cave, didn't really change the job, day in and day out.
Problem with The Powers is that they are so focused on the big picture that things like employment incentives and 401K plans go out the window. You put years into a company and all you get is self-sacrifice and a gold watch. Sometimes, they don't even bother with the watch.
And when a headhunter for a rival office, under the direction of one of your former bosses comes calling, you consider it. More money, more responsibility, chance to travel, meet beautiful women, screw them over, screw their friends over, screw the world over. Who could say no to that? All anybody really wants to see is results from their hard work.
Besides, evil has a better dental plan.
