[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if I were to pivot from a Fed role to a contractor like SAIC, Leidos, Aerospace, Lockheed, etc — [b]would I be less vulnerable to layoff[/b] or more? My spouse things I should make the leap since my agency is not popular with administration, but I think contractors are just a different set of problems. [/quote] This actually made me chuckle. You're definitely vulnerable (more) to layoff. Employment is "at will" and you can and will be let go for any number of reasons with no notice. --over twenty years with NG and SAIC.[/quote] Twenty years at TWO employers seems pretty stable!![/quote] For me. I'm an exec at one of them. Was just making a point re: credibility. You don't really want to know how the sausage is made...or rather how easily it's fired/laid off. Trust me when I say that you are not safer.[/quote]
