From what I have experienced, Hope is correct.

The companies do let too many people go(including temporaries), then find themselves without enough employees to get the work done.

Where do they go??? The temporaries are called back because new employees are not in the budget.

LE,

Please read more carefully. I didn't say that they would not cut temps. Of course they are usually the first to go. Then they are the first to come back. Large companies can't hire employees without re-working budgets so they resort to "temporary" help to get a project done.

Of course if the "temp" help is far better than the some of the employees, the above is not always true. And good staff people understand that. Especially if they are all on the same project. If you are under the gun to get something done, wouldn't you rather work with a cracker-jack temp than a dog employee that barely gets his work done?

And as for your last question - Why would Year 2000 projects be put off till after the problem cripples companies? Doesn't make sense. Of course crippling problems are not put off, but certainly projects have relative importance and those that can wait do. Companies can only do so many projects at once. Not enough resources to go around.

Hope that clarifies your confusion, Hope
