Government job, government rules.

  So change the rules

    They'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.

      As opposed to paying 3x the rate for some contractor from "Booz ma kindney" or the other usual suspects
      • andrewflnr 9y ago
        Yes, 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.

          But 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.
