Yes, that's why a lot of people feel "betrayed" when their career never progress like what their CEP indicate.
An average size stat board or ministry ratio is roughly 1 Head : 10 Directors : 30+ Deputy Directors. But if you look at a normal degree non-scholar CEP, most will indicate potential up to Director or Deputy Director.
Then you take a look at how many Executives, Managers and Assistant Directors there are, there just isn't enough senior positions to fit in everyone. Together with the low attrition rate of government jobs, in the end you will end up like 8 people with same CEP at DD competing for 1 avaiable DD opening.
CEP is a code word for career ceiling, it does not mean that is the likely career path, it just mean best possible career path you can ever get.
