Not sure where to start.

Government may have downsized, but have you ever been in a Social Security office lately? From your comments I'd guess not. I have, and I also have a friend who was a GS-15 in the SSA, so maybe I have more reason to say it is bloated than you do to say it is not.

Never mind that. I only hope your post was after a little too much vino. Indeed, my Government customer organization is a sick puppy and in dire need of some decent management. I have expressed that sentiment to some of my trusted colleagues in that organization. But why would that affect whether I pull my weight and earn my pay? I am not Government, I am a contractor. We work on a cost plus fixed fee basis. My company is not getting rich on my work, but we are not going under either. The big difference here is that my customer is getting my work at half the price that a similarly educated, experienced, and skilled Govvie would cost. Sorry, but I and many of my contractor colleagues are what is keeping that organization afloat.

And what does FMS have to do with it? My customer is US Navy. His customer is US Navy. My customer's customer is the Italian Navy. I am not sure what your experience with FMS cases might be, but we have done great things for my customer' customer's customer and I won't back into any pay line, I will walk in tall and proud and probably deserve to get more than I do.

You know not what you speak and should keep to what you do know.
