[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who was in the private sector government contracting for over 30 years, I respected most of my Fed clients. They were diligent public servants. A handful of my clients during my time were horrible. Treated the private sector with disdain. Thought we made a ton more money. Made comments at meetings with Feds from their agency/dept. and other Feds that Feds needed to watch government contractors very closely as "we are their to steal from the government." It's like me saying "well I pay for your salary with my taxes."

Most Fed workers went directly from school to their Fed job and never worked in the private sector. They had a safe and secure job. Hard to fire those underperformers, and they knew they had a job for life. That doesn't happen in the private sector. We are at-will employees. We don't have a union. We don't have pensions. Don't have healthcare for life after we retire.

What is happening to Fed workers now is horrible! This is not the way to make Fed government more efficient. Change the laws and policies to make the government run more efficiently.

I am retired now. Got out last November after the election, as I saw this coming. Feds are being furloughed, and contractors are being fired as Fed contracts are being cut. It's going to get worse.

What's funny (and sad) at the same time is I saw a recent post on LinkedIn by one of my recently retired former FED clients (one of the ones who despised government contractors) looking for side-consulting FED work. This person was a FED for 35 years!
