Paul has described today's business world in a nutshell.  I
couldn't more fully agree.  (and not just in the U.S., Paul! -
over here too).

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.
