Dont you just love it when your Employer

This is about as much as they have told us. But then we are just lowly employees! and the local rag is just that a rag. Do you think they would try some investigating?

is the moon made of green cheese????

The search is always the hard part. Hopefully it won't come to that for you.

I went to a former client (that is not subjected to this fiasco) friday. They are advertising for a new engineer (the one that replaced me was a total dip wad). The applications they were getting?

All said due to not knowing what is going to happen!

I hope the search is not long as well, But I dont think Virginia is going to win any awards anytime soon either.

The typical scenario ...

1. Outsourcing vendor hires all former gov't employees at reduced/blended seniority and benefits.
2. Efficiency audit is performed on all processes with the goal of finding waste.
3. Senior (expensive) non-upper-management staff are offered 1) buyouts (management and kissups), 2) repurposing (change of roles at reduced/no seniority), or 3) termination.
4. Service fees are introduced or increased.
5. Service levels go into the crapper.
6. People complain and then get used to complaining.

At least that's what it looks like here for the dozen times or so its happened.

I have not really looked into it, altho it has happened around here a few times. But it does look like that is going to be the game plan here as well.
