Companies that close down at Christmas -- Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Northrup Grumman are ones that readily come to mind. Some people in the headquarters still work, but technically the company is shut down so there is no one to engage in a technical discussion with.
Was my job critical? Only if we don't want all our advanced and sensitive military technology shared with China, India and other countries that target US technology. And no, companies are not able to make this determination on their own. Things like advanced night vision, fully integrated electronics for aircraft, some very sensitive composite and stealth technologies, plus things liked armed predator. Companies are profit driven and will sell everything this week to push the bottom line; then they'll complain that the USG doesn't support them with subsidies like the Europeans do.
But WW, it is pointless for us to continue this discussion. You have already made up your mind that everyone working for the government is some kind of 2nd rate person. If you and others want to believe that, then have at it. Doesn't change what I know, and it certainly doesn't make any difference to me.
