O’Brien: Miracle Worker of DS9. The only thing he couldn’t fix was the universe absolutely fucking hating him.
My favorite episodes of DS9 are definitely the ‘Watch the Irishman Suffer’ ones though.

I genuinely felt bad for him after all the bullshit the universe threw at him.

“And hate the 84 ranks I cycled through over the course of 10 years.”

There is a subset of Chief Petty Officers and CPO adjacent people who are Trekkies, and for whom O'Brien's rate and/or rank is... a fountain of disappointment.

Theres no money or pension involved in starfleet. The post scarcity space communism pretty much lets anyone do whatever they like.
The rank mainly have to do with authority, and it didn’t seem like the chief really cared about being in charge. He just cared about making things work, and not having to kill people unless they really needed killing.
