tinnitus photography Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 So they should just create jobs out of thin air? Nowadays, companies tend to hire people take on contractors/temps when they NEED people.ftfy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I don't know what ftfy means and I don't see the problem with taking on contractors/temps. It's better than nothing, no? Or should they hire people full time and then pay unemployment when they have to let them go? It's the least they can do, right? Often, changes in demand (and needs for employees) are short term so taking on full time employees doesn't make a lot of sense. Sorry, too many words. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tinnitus photography Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I don't know what ftfy means http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ftfy the problem is that the trend of hiring temps/contractors is growing. the middle class is being eaten away by the motivations of wall street. i have no problem in hiring temps for projects that have a definitive life cycle. but i've seen first hand the practice of hiring temps that fill full-time roles.

tinnitus photography Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Because people continually bouncing around from temp job to temp job is no equation for any sort of economic stability or progression. Do you think these people save money in the bank or in their 401Ks? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think these people save money in the bank or in their 401Ks?One would think it would behoove Wall St to have more people contributing to bank accounts and 401ks, besides the fact that it's much more easy for Wall St as a whole to make money when there's economic stability and progression.

Hixter Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 The president thinks that Americans should discuss Obamacare over Thanksgiving dinner.

Beltmann Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Tell that to my obnoxious right wing family members who view everything through a conservative/liberal prison. We have that dynamic, too (like many, I suppose). For example, my father truly believes that Obama is a Manchurian candidate installed by Muslims who want to destroy America from within. I wish I was exaggerating. Talking politics with these people is an act of lunacy. It's like having a conversation inside a comic book. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
