I work in Networking and I am floored at the same phenomenon playing out in that sector.
My current job came from a referral from an acquaintance- and he had gone in C2H. I let him know that wasn't even an option for me- I have lots of kids and a housewife spouse- you know the standard situation a decade or two ago- contracts have zero appeal to me.
It was like pulling teeth- they wanted me bad enough that it ended up making it happen, but they treat actual salary slots like golden tickets. They'll spend incredible amounts on contractors (some have been here for YEARS) and professional services, but a normal actual job is like hens teeth.
- oceanghost 9y agoIn my opinion-- it's a sign of how far our society has fallen. A friend of mine has two degrees, she works in a Stater Bros meat department. My grandfather had an AA from a city college, and supported his entire family, and retired at 55 with pensions, investments, etc. His wife is still alive at 88 and living off the money he earned. She's never worked in her life. My parents, retired at 65, and have a very very comfortable retirement until Calpers dies. I, struggle to find employment that isn't "slavery with extra steps", and will never, ever be able to retire.
