“I know two people that used to be contractors and now make far more money working directly for the FedGov”
Just the opposite here. I knew a lot of people that hired on with the fed gov after military service, did their required time to retire and then came back as contractors in the same facility....many times doing the exact same job.
Now THAT’S triple dippin’!
As a guy told me in DC back in 2009...All the guys wear 1000 dollar suits and all the girls have 500 dollar dresses, shoes, and handbags.
