    The whole staff structure needs to allow upward mobility from consultant up into staff and not be used as indentured servants whereby staff regard consultants like cheap labor and dont respect them.
  • Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
    I believe consultants should be given opportunities to enter the staff workforce by means of competition. I believe the whole structure needs to be remade and also for DC staff salaries are very low given the inflation per year.
