[quote=SK in CV][quote=no_such_reality]The administrative requirements are pre-requisites to the SOW which act as a barrier to entry and essentially act as an unnecessary and esoteric requirement. i.e. a mil-spec hammer when a $5 hammer from HD would do the job.[/quote]
You may think it’s unnecessary and esoteric. But it’s also part of the process of doing business with almost every Fortune 500 company. It is not solely a government thing. It is a big organization thing. And the federal government is as big as it gets.[/quote]
Yes, that’s what I said back on page 1. That barrier to entry runs basically both ways. Once in, management in large organizations lose incentive to treat contractors as contractors and they become just part of “the cost of doing business”.
