Anyone here ever worked on a government contract before?
My current company lost the contract that we work on, and a new company picked it up. Now I have to interviwe for the job I'm doing now and probably take a pay cut so that the new company can have the benefit of all of my experience but do the same work for less money.

It's your Starstriker for his Stinger and Motor-Viper? I suspect I know which one was made in considerably smaller quanities and therefore would be harder to come by again. And it's not the one that sold out on HTS's site... But that's my opinion. I know you don't collect vehicles, but you'd have to keep the set to keep the value and the Stinger is pretty much great.
Anyway, I don't have a deal pending, just wanted to see what some folks thought. Both items have been going for about the same price range on eBay. I have no interest in paying that much for it, but if the trade value is close, let's talk. (And on a side note, the guy with the only current auction is on his 4th try trying to get rid of this thing. And he auto-declined the offer I made. Gotta love it.) And yeah, I only want the MV, but the figure alone is even harder to come by than the set. |

It turns out that apparently this company had no idea what kind of work we do or the scope of it. Which makes me wonder, of course, why they were awarded the contract in the first place. Yay!

I'm guessing the words "lowest bidder" had something to do with it. Or possibly "my cousin, the senator."

Likely the first.
"Oh sure, we can do that cheaper, no problem! What do they do, again?" "Wait, whaddyamean none of the current team is willing to work that cheap? We said we could do it!"

Fogger, that sucks, man. Are you that specialized that you can't find another job and avoid going back to this one under the new company? Hellio: You say that now but later on you may think differently. |
