I work for a company that is NOT a government contractor. I fully expect layoffs en masse within the next 6 months. We’ve already been hit hard. Vacancies are NOT being filled in our group. So of someone leaves due to job change or retirement… our group is short handed.
I’ve got almost 17 years with this employer (although the name has changed due to aquisitions and splits) – but that doesn’t matter. I might be on the chopping block. Such is life.
Dual citizenship has always been an issue for security clearances above the very basic ones. It’s a factor I considered when I put together the application for my husband and sons dual citizenship. It might effect my sons’ future job prospects.
I guess I don’t understand why defense contractors should be any different than any other employer. We’re ALL screwed in this economy.
