[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This to me is a joke. This is not at all what I'm seeing. Contractors handle way more of the work load at my agency than the feds. And I agree with a PP here they're not treated well at all. They are each currently taking the burden of 3-4 fed employees that they already let go. They keep dumping more and more work onto the contractors.  [/quote]

This is what I’ve seen first hand over the last 8 years I’ve been working as a GS. I would not be interested in the grind of being a contractor if I end up leaving or getting let go. [/quote]

Nice troll post![/quote]

Np. I've seen this happen. The feds in these cases weren't lazy, as they oversaw the work, but generally couldn't do the work themselves. Their contributions were often nil, even if they thought it was important. [/quote]

This badly misunderstands the role. The fed in question is not supposed to be able to do the work, they are supposed to be the legally mandated government oversight. Their role is necessary for compliance and to avoid certain risks.

The government [i]could have[/i] hired people able to do the work in-house (which would have been cheaper overall, in part because that oversight role would not be required) but instead hired contractors. So while it's true there were not feds able to do the work, that was by design. If there had been, that would have been duplication. [/quote]
