RE: <<Nobody wronged these "perma-temps". They knew going in exactly what the terms of employment were and they agreed to them>> I think a lot of us on this thread know someone or know of someone who was employed at Microsoft and then got laid off. The perma-temps are one example. A friend of my brother's got the boot right before she was supposed to get stock options. And so on and so on. However, like you said, people know the dangers going in, and I think most of them are not really trying to work at Microsoft forever but instead want to stay there for two years or so and have that magical name on their resumes. I sometimes do resume screening at my company and I sure know that my attention perks up when I see something like "Senior systems design specialist at Microsoft 1994-96" the effect is like "MBA Wharton-1997, BS Electronic Engineering CalTech-1993."
