They need to figure out what their business is.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Show up on time, end on time, focus on the meeting rather than on the distractions, come prepared.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

I don't work here for pay. I took a pay and benefit cut to come here so I don't have to travel and can take off when I want. I took a 10% pay cut to come here.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

lack of leadership is the best description. They believe they can replace managerical competence with IT competence. Meaning the one who knows the most should be the manager. Sort of Roman Gladiator type, but they don't allow for bumping.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

It's been wrong since 1958. We get hired by the government because the government contracting rules are so difficult to deal with, if you have an FFRDC, then just issue a task order and you can skip it. Lower quality but bodies none the less.
