[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]
+ a million. Sad to see how other posters refuse to see the truth on this.
I was a development lead on a gov contract and it was incredibly hard to get shit done - both because the client didn't know what they wanted and changed their mind often (they had 2 other contracts to help with that...), and because company didn't pay enough to get highly skilled people.
Government audits are very regimented and are not designed to focus on whether the work is done well or efficiently.[/quote]
