Yep. I work in a government office and the contracting companies have been out in force recruiting. “Resign, we’ll hire you for six-figures. double dip pay till September” best part is, due to limited office space, all the contractors kept their telework status.
It takes forever to hire people, even without the current freeze. That gap has always been filled with well paid contractors who trade long term job security for lucrative 4- year contracts.
I suspect this is the goal here. Cut goverents services, figure out which parts squeak, then hire contractors to do that work at massive profits while either receiving kickbacks or just winning through insider trading.
Ultimately, it probably will lead to higher goverents costs.
