From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

Don't know much about government contracting, do we? If you did, you would be aware that some of the largest government contractors file numerous bid award protests with the GAO.

Why protest? Do they recind contracts because of protests?

If you are the current contractor and the NNSA picks someone else to take over, then you get to keep on running the show until all the protests are over, and then 90 days after the last appeal is timed out. Not a bad proposition to keep paying all your high level managers their big salaries, even if they eventually will have to move out.

That occurred to me as well, more fee and continued high pay for people who will be sent packing eventually. Win, win, why not protest even if you have no basis for protesting and you know you will lose.
