Re: Can it get much worse? said by Titus Pullo:Comcast is asking for everything it gets by chasing cheap labor, especially when the people they sub turn around and re-sub the sub out to another party. It's ridiculous, and why this country is on the slow swirl, currently held in place by the bowl splatter. Ooooh, that's an image ... -- Been that way for years and not just Comcast, I think the big shift came late in the 1990's but it was starting to be done before that too. We saw signs of the sub-contract syndrome when the California tech job market crashed around 1992 and we were all trying to find new jobs.
I know that in 1999 when I was looking for a job, that was what most of the offers were, contracting firms, and I am an engineer. Had one job offer for Mississippi that I found out that I was talking to a contractor to another contractor who had the contract for an engineering job on a military base. No thanks! -- I am not lost, I find myself every time. |
