Praying Mantis
Well, since Monday, we've been notified that we have been awarded aver 700K in either prime contracts or sub-contracts, adding even more load to what has been the biggest year this firm has ever seen by over 100%. This is both good for the firm and scary all at once.
I know this whole jump in available work is due exclusively to federal government spending, and I further know it is transitory, so we're trying to form an intelligent and responsible strategy to deal with what we assume will be an accompanying cliff dive when the money stops flowing. The Old
Man wants to "grow" and I just want to expand, so we're at loggerheads about what to do. On one hand, we are extremely short handed in the office and it is taking a severe toll on all of us, so the old man wants to pick up some estimators and another manager. I want to continue as we have been, but pick up a couple of temps to do the mundane but time consuming shit. I thought I would ask for some opinions so I would have some objective views from outside our "box".
