Yes, pretty amazing.  I have to believe that such conclusions are from folks
that (a) have not been in the U.S. work force for the past several years
(e.g., long term retirees); or (b) they are in the U.S. work force and are
employed as state or federal civil service employees.  There is nothing
mean-spirited in this statement.  It's just that if you have not been
employed in the private sector in the past five years or so under the
increasingly abusive working conditions...you simply cannot understand.

When you look at the surviving technological innovation companies, they are
or are currently in the process of outsourcing highly specialized and
expensive skill-set labor to sub-contractors.  Does it really make sense for
a company to keep a fixed overhead cost for high-cost talent when projects
are intermittent with demand?  And many folks who leave the high-technology
companies (either under their own volition or otherwise), continue to work
for them as more efficient sub-contractors.

It's a much different and harsh business world out there right now.
Employers and employees alike must learn to quickly adapt to business
conditions...or deal with certain failure.
