For those of you that work for a company, I would like for you took really think about what type of company Microsoft is. I guarentee you, someday, their greed will come back to haunt them. Microsoft Advocates Tax Bill to Deny Benefits to Millions Of American Employees, Says Bendich, Stobaugh & Strong This is a BS spin headline by a law firm trying to protect a source of business. These "perma-temps" are contract employees who knew exactly what they were agreeing to. Most temps are that because they want to be and want the higher wage instead of benefits. Every contract employee I've talked to where I work (as a regular employee) call these losers who brought the lawsuit unethical and are pissed at them for screwing contract employees all across the country. My employer and most others are now instituting policies that require an offer of a permanent position (usually refused due to the radical cut in pay) or the firing of contract employees at a set time. This will hurt business because skilled employees with important knowledge are lost and new people have to be brought in and trained. It hurts employees because job security now means they know when they'll be fired. Nobody wins except the scum who blamed someone else because they made the wrong choice (contract vs. MSFT permanent) and wanted a do-over and so sued. This country has turned into a bunch of whiners who won't take responsibility for their own choices. It's always someone else's fault and they're always being oppressed and taken advantage of.
