Paycheck. Evidently I negotiated at the high end of this and ended up getting a pretty decent rate. Some co-workers were genuinely pleasant to be around.

Management, and the company in general, has become a laughing point in interior FAA circles. Program Managers readily, and consistently, referred to CalNet as the business model NOT to follow when wanting to continue contract awards. Trying to subtly relay this to management was met with deer-in-headlight response. Blinders, man, blinders... Several high profile FAA programs and their FAA personnel had relationships with me that just absolutely were doing everything in their power to get released from having to deal with that management. Was a unique situation to be loved and hated at the same time.
