I'll try my best to paint a picture of my current work situation...
I work for Company A (as a sub-contractor; I am not an employee) who lost a contract to Company B. We support a government client. For purposes of work transfer and continuity, Company B hired some of us from Company A in a short-term support agreement to help assist the knowledge transfer of work to the government client. My manager from Company A is basically telling me to be lazy, delay, give vague answers, etc., because once Company B is "done using us" we're all going to be let go.
The problem is we support a government client and it is not in my nature to come to work 9-5 and do nothing (waste of tax dollars eh?). I tried walking the gray line of doing some work while not compromising us but my manager is not too happy either way. Company B managers assign me tasks and I have to do them because refusing work also does not look good? Company A manager called me last Friday and in a conference call with another manager basically said I'm on the chopping block unless I start becoming a better "team member."
Why I'm stressed - If we get let go, they blame me and give me a bad review to my firm. If we get a long-term agreement from Company B, I still have a fractured relationship with Company A after this fiasco. I'm trying not to jump ship because my first employment I only worked for 11 month and on this one, again another 10 months. My resume is looking choppy.
What do I do when I am morally conflicted and I have to keep several parties happy?
