I hope this gets passed around to hearing ears in Washington! I would love to talk to congress on national TV on my experiences with both supporting the FAA and the Military on Process Improvement/Quality Engineering!
FAA
I spent about 6 years supporting the FAA through two contractors that milked the FAA for millions with no concrete success in meeting defined goals. You see the Director/Manager had some goals on her radar that had to be met and through millions you can achieve anything on paper but money does not change people's behavior, especially in government! Common sense if explained correctly can. But then again that is why I left the FA!
US Military, NY
This was just all wrong! My first 4 months was sitting in a car waiting to be called and never called! Let me remind you they are paying me 85k a year and the contractor maybe 200k. Then I got a space supporting someone who was supporting the Military. YES, they hired me to help someone who was hired but could not do her job. She had a doctorate on what I call stupidity!
This was the goal! Define a process that did not exist so congress can fund the organization as if it delivered something. People thought L3 was crazy and I thought what we could do with 20M dollars. I hear they eventualy lost it all including a 300M contarct they had for over 25 years! They should of been prosecuted for fraud!
Well there is more these are just two basic examples of contractors supporting government with proper oversight!
