RE: Laid off IT people...

Sergio, you've made some good recent points,
and I enjoy your posts - but I should point
out that many people in IT are working as
consultants/contractors. These positions pay
well, but if someone loses a contract, there
is no severance, as you are not an employee.
Also - from experience (I'm a computer consultant
also) the market is a number of areas of the
country is fairly dead right now - not just slow.
I've been doing some short-term contracts myself,
but many recruiters have said their phones are
just not ringing at all. No clients = no contracts.

Again, I enjoy your posts, and the 13 thread is one
of the best on SI, IMO. Matt
