With so much culture comes great responsibility, do you have a staph to help you out?

Can you ship a few of them over to Israel? We could really use some slightly less incompetent politicians here. 
Getting competent politicians is beyond even God's power.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
--Winston Churchill

Competent and politician are mutually exclusive terms.

The company I work for did not win the contract re-compete with the DoD, so the new company is going to be trying to negotiate lower salaries and reduction in benefits (if they hold true to the contractor company paradigm).
All of this has to take place before October 1. There are (or were) 63 seats on the contract, and I've already GOTTEN half a dozen headhunters contacting me letting me know that the position I currently hold is available.
The new company currently has nine employees. How can they possibly be eligible to bid if they don't appear to even have an HR department, much less one that has the staff to handle a 600% increase in employee count? They're listed as being "economically disadvantaged". That doesn't sound good at all.
Over the next few weeks, I'm probably going to switch over from my typical cheery, sensitive demeanor, to someone that is more surly, short-tempered, and just plain rude.

One: sorry for your situation; it's a tough place to be.
Two: as much as you dislike it, consider leaving the contracting environment and taking a 'corporate job', even if its only for a couple of years to give you a chance to review/reflect.

Good luck with the job search...

Thanks for the warning. Surly JSOP would never have provided one.
