    The worst part about it (like you and I have talked about before Chris) is that a lot of it was no bid gov't work. IDK how the hell they get away with it, but HUGE portions of the work never have a competitive bid to go with them (Fire & Security for example....SimplexGrinnell never has competition as everyone else is excluded from bidding, I know for a fact that those projects go out at 40pts profit margin, and never mind what happens with change-orders...)

    it's called kickbacks... i'm sure he was banking from giving certain companies the deal...

      I can assure you with SimplexGrinnell there were no kickbacks...last guy that tried that got canned and took 1/2 the office out with him. They aren't even allowed to bring donuts to meetings on public bid projects anymore.

        No Bid Gov't work happens in IT as well, however there is definitely a bidding process to get listed on the state contract... At least from an IT standpoint we are the approved vendor for Brand X and must sell @ 41 off of list.... I'd imagine other industries do things similarly..

          the union is a joke... $22 million... it's not even that great...

          did like the wellness center, best work out place i've ever been to...

          Wellness center is already too small for the amount of people that use it. Even at 11AM it's crowded, I can only imagine how shitty it would be around 5-9PM.
