Jul 18, 2013 5:39 PM

5 We are a VERY small business (sales $100K) and this has reduced ourrevenues for this year by $36K, due to the loss of two contracts, anunsustainable loss, from which the company may not survive. In addition, weare affiliated with a university and have given internships to dozens ofintelligence studies students and subcontracts to many more since 2008. At least15 students lost this opportunity this summer so far and ten more I know of havehad their government internships suspended.

259 Lower departmental morale makes for an uncomfortable work environment. Jun 27, 2013 10:43 AM

260 Scheduling with government personnel has become a nightmare, since OTHERcontractors that did this have been cut. Other Government Contractors (OGC's)are laying people off and getting approvals and reviews is much more difficult.

Jun 27, 2013 10:41 AM

261 Told to go find another job, that I was being replaced by someone who had rolledoff a contract that was cut. They had more time in the company as I was a fairlynew hire

Jun 27, 2013 10:16 AM

262 We have been told absolutely nothing, other than that they were freezingpositions not yet filled, which only lends itself to worrying about what will comeas we hear about other contract agencies, rather than being able to prepare forthe future.

Jun 27, 2013 10:03 AM

263 Yes, my position at Deloitte was eliminated June 17th, 2013. I had been with thefirm for 10 years and will be 62 years old next month. In the past 10 months mywife lost her contractor position, I lost mine, she has stage 4 blood cancer andwe have no medical insurance. Our incomes have dropped from $400,000 peryear to $0 because of CRAs, debt ceiling bickering, and sequestration. Betweenthe two of us we have 70 years of solid and honest work experience, and this iswhere we now find ourselves.

time of contract renewal and for four years.

Jun 27, 2013 9:33 AM

266 Morale is very low. Clients have little energy. We are bidding on moreopportunities creating twice as much proposal work for little ROI in order toreplace backlog as a result of shrinking project budgets/reductions. Growth isvery limited.

Page 5, Q15. In your opinion, will sequestration have the biggest impact on:

1 Government retention of younger civilians. As they ramp up RIFs andaccelerate/expand furlough days the younger workforce will be forced out due toLIFO rules, depressed pay from the furlough, and a growing incentive to leavegovt to join the private sector (for more and steady pay). This will exacerbate thegovernment's problem of trying to replace/transition the aging workforce andcontribute to a degredation of the government workforce/services... I think theDefense Department has wholly mis-managed their approach and is causinglong-term impacts in an effort to prove a point/show the Hill they they will drivethe ship aground because they can (and they threatened it would happen)...

2 All those losing income and anyone affected as a result of income losses. Jul 16, 2013 3:54 PM

3 Getting control of wasteful spending and redirecting monies away from foolishfederal waste like millions spent on conferences, duplication of work, uselesssocial training and social media training. Just taking a moment to allow allAgencies to a moment to look at how they are wasting the tax payers dollars.Therefore all else is Media pump and dump.

5 Those in uniform who receive services and especially the warfighters who needthe support supplied by DOD employees and contractors

Jul 9, 2013 11:16 AM

6 Contractors will spend more money taking over government jobs, then bill thetaxpayer. Cause we can lobby the congress to keep contracts coming ..

Jul 6, 2013 9:15 AM

7 Vendors will lose jobs while Federal agencies will suffer a few days furlough.Huge difference.

Jul 6, 2013 5:35 AM

children.

18 Will 'kill' Federal service a sa n option for College Graduates as almost allagencies have shuttered their hiring and HROs due to Sequestration. I can seenot promising to hire, but they won't take resumes, work job fairs etc. With FY 14Sequestration cuts inv-evitable, smae amy happen next yera putting thegovernment at a disadvantadge in hiring new talent. This will play out verynegatively for services and security for the nation in the future. Penny wise andpound foolish.

Page 5, Q16. In this environment of sequestration, budget cuts, continuing resolutions, threats of governmentshutdowns, and a struggle between Capitol Hill and the White House, do you believe your work with agencies stillmakes a difference?

1 Increasingly no. Clients are taking the approach of Same as Last Year(SALY)...not embracing or exploring innovative or more effective/efficientsolutions as they don't want to be the one leaning forward and penalized (asthey fear they'll be fired (at a time when there are no hiring actions taking place).They're providing the bare minimum of support/output to demonstrate the impactof the furloughs, and I suspect it will be institutionalized as this on the long term ifthe full 11 days of DoD furloughs (and more into FY14) are realized/executed.

Jul 17, 2013 10:39 AM

2 This is a confusing and leading question. I don't believe there's any relationbetween the two. The Gov wastes tons of money on both employees andcontractors, but, let's face it, the Gov is just a jobs program and will always insistthat whatever it does is all so important.

Jul 15, 2013 9:09 AM

3 continued services will matter and make a difference, but others will be stopped Jul 9, 2013 7:07 PM

4 More not than often. Jun 28, 2013 5:03 PM

5 sometimes, when the work is a fire drill to determine how much work can be cut

to specfic lower funding levels. that's about the only time it hits the eyeballs ofthe execs. otherwise it's business as usual and nobody appreciates the normalday to day stuff

Jun 27, 2013 2:02 PM

6 Contract support will always be the main stay of government work. We are thesupplemental talent and strength that many US citizens do not realize are inplace. We bring experience, certifications and dynamic work ethic to thegovernment workplace, that would be missing, otherwise. We are often told to"stop working so hard" because it makes the government staff look "bad". Forus, working hard is the only choice, especially in VA, which is a right to workstate. Government contractors KNOW that if we are not working hard andproducing, we WILL be fired (with no notice)....unlike the government staff.

9 The work I do makes no difference if there's no money available. Jun 27, 2013 12:25 PM

10 Sometimes. Threat of current contract scheduled to expire soon with anticipated3-month gap before awarding of next contract will tell - if extended, our work ismeaningful. If not, how can it be?

Jun 27, 2013 11:40 AM

11 I bounce between two agencies--one treats contractors like "part of the family"the other like second class citizens. The latter even refused to provide CPR/FirstAid training being offered to Feds, despite a frantic plea for last minuteenrollments due to fear of cancelation of the class.
