[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a lot of bloat with the support contractors. OSD has 10s of thousands of them and a lot of them are needed as a warm body to increase the head count. [/quote]

That's nice, too bad auditors weren't sent in to actually find this waste.[/quote]

They wouldn't even know how to identify it.  I support a lot of projects part time as a tech SME and the vast majority of people in them barely know what they are doing, do not care about learning otherwise, and the overall pace of development is geological.  How would an auditor know what any of these people are doing, or how productive these projects should be overall?[/quote]

Surely you’re joking. People trained to do this job would be able to do this job, certainly better than a drug addict and his merry band of incel teens. They’re not trying to figure anything out and have said as much. They’re just there to chainsaw it. If you’re ever diagnosed with cancer, it would be like the doctor not treating you but rather calling in his machinist cousin and letting him take a crack at you. I find it curious you can call yourself a SME, but don’t recognize expertise in any other field?

In any organization, especially one as large as the government, there are going to be duds. But they’re not even trying to figure out who the duds are. They’re mass firing people indiscriminately. And doing the same to the contracts. They fed a 250 character summary of contracts through AI and cut based on keywords they don’t like, such as “transition.”[/quote]
