I had a former coworker in the fed sector who this happened to not once, not twice, but three times!

It was a huge 10+ year program in the military health space and he initially left BAH to get away from it, went to AFS and got roped back into it, then went to Deloitte and got sucked back into it, then finally left for Leidos and last I heard was back on that program as of a couple years ago. 😂

That’s what sucks about working in the fed space; limited number of highly specialized clients. Dept of Agriculture is totally different from Education, Social Security, Energy or Defense. There’s only one of each of these. And there’s also a limited number of large SIs, so they are all after the same pool of talent, while claiming to be “unique” in their proposals. Their only truly unique item is their bank account number.

At Salesforce.

I had a coworker who moved from industry to consulting. She was put right back on the same account same location.

She is now an “expert” vs an employee. They implemented her ideas when she got no air time as an employee with the same ideas. Funny but real story.

I decided that in the fall I want to change up how we work on college essays and focus more heavily on creative non-fiction as a literary form in general, then change that over to using these strategies/concepts in their own essays. I think this might alleviate some of the pressure while also inspiring them to get a bit more creative with it and showing them all that a personal essay can be. Thoughts?
