That's because the govt employs tons of morons. It's great.

Kinda off topic, but government folks like to apply six sigma to everything.

“We need to be six sigma”

“We’re a finance office. We don’t produce widgets. What do we do so often that generates the sample size large enough to apply six sigma methodology?”

“We need to be six sigma.”

“😑 🔫"

Depends, 6 sigma's primary application is manufacturing so it's pretty important in that industry

The cheapest ticket in the whole arena, basically top row so you can’t see crap, is $506 before you start with the fees!!! Am I wrong or is that just bananas????

Thoughts about Eagle Hill Consulting?

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
