The lack of info and silence is textbook for companies either in serious trouble or undergoing a major reorganization that could result ugly consequences for work staff. The disclosure of that info would likely cause a mass exodus, leaving companies to scramble for warm bodies needed to bid on other contracts or maintain the current ones. I expect this is why companies also over-hire or continually advertise for job openings when no real work exists
, to keep the revolving door open.
Exactly, this is why so many of the companies reap the benefits of having contractors (Skeleton Employees) to use our data to demonstrate they have retained our services which makes these companies relevant for bids they may or may not manifest.
Wild, Wild idea/guess. Primes restructuring to make everyone 1099. The reason I say that is the current full-time model is absolutely, 10000%, unsustainable.
It may indeed come down to that. Good point..
Makes sense. Eliminates the need to provide benefits and worry about payroll tax across the country. Might encourage them to increase pay.
I’m wondering if it’s possible for a class action lawsuit against the primes alot of folks were brought on as 1099s under the false pretense work was abundant and available yet that has proved to be misleading and distracting.
I switched to a 1099 after I was told by the recruiter guy that not only was work abundant but with the contract requirement for 30% of all work to go to 1099’s it seemed a good choice. Obviously the 30% contract requirement is no longer being followed.
Does anyone know if Peraton is hiring for DCSA work?
It could depend on the area, but Peraton furloughed a significant number of W2 investigators back in December. Its worth a shot, in my opinion, assuming you are experienced and credentialed.
Yes I’m experienced and in a low work area but I just received notice for test out training.
If that’s for full time ….good for you. Hope it’s legit and you get hired.
No 1099…..I’m just wondering if there is work
Not sure about Peraton 1099, but 1099 as a Peraton sub is about one case/item a month. I call that no work.
Wow that’s less than the work I’m getting being a CACI sub
Peraton subs have not been getting any work for months
And won’t be for months, according to the 1Force CEO. Paragon doesn’t communicate the situation, like at all, but they’ve given me work. You know. To supplement my totally unrelated new full-time job.
They have communicated. They’re actually the only vendor that I know and have spoken to that is actually transparent and honest about what is going on. If you are not getting the info you need, perhaps reach out to your leadership.
Perhaps. I only remember seeing one email in maybe December.
