Let's suppose I've managed to find the absolute worst of companies - fine, I can accept that.
Then why are recruiters/HR/managers so apprehensive to disclose what the cost control measure are - what are the plans, policies, procedures, practices, and processes, what are the duties and scope, roles are responsibilities ........ ?
I honestly don't think that getting vending machine tokens from HR daily for can of free soda, or whatever "gourmet sandwich" is the vending machine is impressive.
Impressive would be 401K plan sponsored by the company that allows you to rollover the 401K's from previous employers, and allows you to roll it over into some other company when you leave. Or a 401K that stays with you as you move from project to project within the company.
Multiple times in this thread and others, you link to a list of large government contracting companies: http://washingtontechnology.com/toplists/top-100-lists/2011....
And then, a long time ago, you linked to a dice posting in order to ridicule it:

If your job is as bad as you seem to imply, then I certainly hope you heed people's advice and find another. But I'm beginning to suspect that you're being intentionally misleading for some other purpose.
