Spent 33 years working for DoD
Saw some of the best and some of the worst in terms of employee incentives
I saw what happens when you save money by slashing employee benefits and compensation. Saw what happens when you offer graduating engineers $22,000 while the private sector is offering $35,000. Private sector gets the A and B students while the Government gets the C students. Government ends up hiring the people cut lose by the private sector
So in negotiating with defense contractors you are sending Junior Engineers to deal with the Defense Industries top people
