[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 385963, member: 1514"] I had a friend who worked under contract for a business who had a contract with a branch of the military. He was an IT guy and worked for a nationwide IT company who bid on the contract for this branch of the military. Am I making myself clear? Well...after about 2 years this nationwide IT company lost their contract because they were under bid. He was frantic because he thought he was going to have to move and that was going to be a chore. The nationwide company did offer to find him another job somewhere else in the US but they couldnt promise where or at what level or at what pay. Yikes! And he had bought a house where he was living. Well...turns out the new IT company that won the bid heard good things about some of the people who were currently employed by the old IT company and they offered for them to stay on at same salary but the benefits were actually better! I think my friend also ended up going up a level so he made more money too. So...moral of the story....you just never know how these contract deals will work out in the end. The companies may go but sometimes its the workers who actually make out okay! [/QUOTE]
