In my former life, I spend a few years working for a Contacting company - we were expensive and only hired real talent. Rigorous testing for anyone before the job interview even took place. We were expensive as f*ck. Gen-X owner. Nobody took our bids on RFP's seriously.
Never once saw one of our bids on a project get picked up by the big boys or state government.
Not once. They scoffed.
"We can hire 30 people from Palmer group for that!!!"
- 64 Year Old Boomer Department Head
(Palmer Group was a well known Jeet-Farm).
We were rolling in money, despite having never, once ever won a bid.
Our job was to show up after the "cheap labor" created a four-alarm fire, and fix it.
And we charged those same 64 year old fat boomers through the nose to do it.
They'd rather pay twice - once for a shit job and then a premium to fix it - than just pay people to do good work up front.
I say it again: Fucking boomers.

@SilverDeth @npc @phnt Shit, man. If we were in the same region geographically, I'd be kinda surprised if we had never run into each other.
