It used to be the other way around. You used to (back in the 90s) get paid MORE becuase you were temporary and did't get ANY benefits.

We are sliding back into the 19th century when it comes to worker's rights, compensation, and being treated like human beings. But that's the markets for you. Labor is now a very cheap (and getting cheaper) commodity. Thanks to extremely cheap telecommunications and whatnot, you can be replaced by someone cheaper by going overseas and it's dragging our standard of living down - except for CEOs. They have their buddies on the boards to give them a shit load of compensation to fuck up a company.

Marissa chicky is trying to rescue Yahoo! by making it a Google clone - she will fail. And they will kick her sever so sweat ass out the door with tens of millions of dollars for her troubles.

In the meantime, the underlings and engineers who tried to put her plan in action will get canned with maybe a couple of months of severance.

Suck it peons! You got a refrigerator and a TV! You're rich!!! Just keep telling yourselves that.
