[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have several contractors with bloated salaries and low efficiency and they are on the chopping block. This is DoD. [/quote]

This is not my experience in DoD at ALL.  We are generally pretty insulated from immediate ups and downs of any administration's whims.  This is the same.  We do mirror in office policies, so something might trickle down to us with this.  But it will NOT be immediate.  It will be slow on purpose, because if people are leaving the gov't we'll look to scoop some of them up.[/quote]

This. We have contracts that clearly state if work if done on site or off site and if employees are remote. Remote usually saves the govt $$ so does on site (at govt site). But then the govt has to provide space and it infrastructure. Most of my dod contestant are for off site meaning at contractor site and we provide the office, networks etc. But we also make things and run data on our own servers that the govt couldn't replicate without spending a lot of $$ in a short time. 
EOs don't supersede a written and signed contract. And if programs are cancelled "for convenience" by the govt, there are clauses which allow the contractor to claw back a lot of $ that would have been provided to do the work. [/quote]
