Some 80% of government contracts are never put up for bid, and if a contract is under a certain dollar amount, government agencies are under no obligation to issue a bid notice. In addition, when your bid is the first time a government agency learns of your company, you can be sure your proposal is heading for the bottom of the pile.

The bottom-line pressure from shareholders has only gone up. While IBM would always fire employees for ethical violations, almost no one was fired because of poor performance. If you wore a white shirt, showed up, and met minimal expectations, you had a job for your entire career.
