Why can they not pay the going rate at least in the NSA ?
- wolf550e 9y agoGovernment job, government rules.
- walshemj 9y agoSo change the rules
- andrewflnr 9y agoThey're working on it. But those rules are there specifically to prevent overspending, are they not? If someone then ends up, or appears to end up, overpaid, you're going to have a different angry mob at the door. You have to be careful tearing that kind of thing out, to say the least.
- walshemj 9y agoAs opposed to paying 3x the rate for some contractor from "Booz ma kindney" or the other usual suspects
- andrewflnr 9y agoYes, as opposed to that. What I'm saying is that it's a hard problem. It's not one that's unique to government either; corporations have to decide when to outsource, too, with similar (but less dramatic) tradeoffs.
- walshemj 9y agoBut unless your insane out source your core competencies and for TLA's you don't out source your cleaners as the risk is to high.
