The contractors are next

Anonymous
Always thought it was such a waste that a small fed project that can be done by a few feds, would hire 2x-3x additional contractors.

Worked at a defense contractor.... so much of doing nothing on both sides.

I can't speak for Deloitte, but can confirm EY has lost contracts.

To the poster above, I'd think Leidos would be less impacted, aren't they almost exclusively defense contracting?


Leidos has contracts in almost every federal agency. Doge’s goal is to disrupt the DC prime IT contractors to allow for Silicon Valley to come in. They will most certainly take a hit in time.

Leidos’s don’t have civilians contract mostly in department of defense , airport security and flight control.. one in nih and social security which may go…

Know a bunch of people at Leidos, Accenture, Deloitte...and nobody is indicating any cuts.


Agencies have been instructed to cut contracts so like everything going on right now it will just happen suddenly.


They won't cut contracts if their instructions are to reduce federal personnel. They will definitely keep those contractors.


Goal is political here.. drain dc Virginia and Maryland.. shut down economy and bring recession.. it’s not trumps vote base .. mostly liberals

I think we need to wait and see. When the budget comes out, if agencies are instructed to cut programs and spending, they will 100% cut contracts IF they have the choice to proceed as they see fit. The way things are going, it looks like reducing spending isn't the ultimate goal - getting rid of feds is.


um, destabilizing the dollar is the goal. to do that you need rampant unemployment, removal of most subject matter expertise from the government (that includes contractors), legal uncertainty, and confusion. it's taking more time than they hoped because the markets are refusing to accept it. add in a bird flu pandemic and tuberculosis and the workforce will be hungry and terrified and desperate, so give it a few months.

There is no procurement right now so this isn't good.

Why would they want to destabilize the dollar?

And all the conservatives in the state of VA rely on all the money the liberals make in NoVa.

Have any formal internship programs at contractor companies been cancelled?

Ugh I'm so sorry. The last thing we need know is punch down on our new college grads. They are the future to this miserable mess.

I'm curious what Glenn Youngkin thinks about all this. Yes, he's a Republican, but a pro-business one. I bet he's secretly seething even though he can't say it.
