Let me know what you think of this scenario. Temporary workers are pervasive in the U.S. especially. Canada as well. I’m sure other countries too.
There was a time when a full time job with a good company would be a long term, successful experience. We’ve seen how that has changed in recent decades. An employee’s service is no longer valued. People seem to be pushed aside when no longer needed, yet executives get massive bonuses every year and are all smiles throughout layoff periods. So why are we told that everything is awesome?
