Are all federal clients miserable? Every federal project I’ve been on seems to have unhappy and miserable federal folks. Is this just me or am I missing something? 😔

Team by team, I worked with some that were very motivated and happy, but overall bureaucracy wears down everyone over time

I have witnessed some and I do start to worry about our “edge” over our adversaries. I worry that some of those in the federal space get too complacent until we get a dose of reality in the future. I also think it’s because so many govies rotate to different jobs they don’t qualify for and just move on to the next one in 2-3 years.

It depends on a lot

It’s definitely case by case, sample size is too small

Many have just spent too much time in the government and have any sense of motivation and initiative beaten out of them, and their managers can't easily fire them or discipline them. My last client when I was in federal consulting had great people working there but it was a much more quantitative environment and many folks had impressive backgrounds.

Would have been nice to have a CRM to organize and bring transparency to coordinate the project. How about you?
