I found this very weird. I always thought there were laws about not taking
jobs for something like 2 years where there could be a perception that power
gained from the initial job could be used as influence for the present job

Deputy to embattled Special Counsel leaves for Lockheed
From CongressDaily
The top deputy to Scott Bloch, the embattled head of the Office of Special
Counsel, has resigned to take a job at Lockheed Martin Corp. in what
employees called a sign of turmoil at the agency. Jim Byrne, the deputy
special counsel, will work under Lockheed Martin's General Counsel James
Comey, the former deputy U.S. attorney general, sources said. Bloch, whose
office enforces federal workplace laws, is under investigation by the U.S.
attorney for the District of Columbia. FBI agents raided the agency's
offices and Bloch's home in May in an apparent search for evidence Bloch
destroyed computer files sought by investigators in a separate probe into
charges Bloch retaliated against agency whistleblowers who opposed his
policies. Office of Special Counsel employees said Byrne criticized Bloch's
management in a resignation letter, but denied reports that Byrne resigned
in protest. Byrne is among several OSC employees who were scheduled to
appear before a federal grand jury investigating Bloch, according to people
involved in the probe.
