Re: It doesn't look good for Tina the Tech Writer

Well, it was kind of a joke, but still, in most cases where an employer 
lays people off and then offers them their jobs back as temps, they make 
a lot less and get no benefits. The improvement in earnings comes when 
you get a gig with a different company that has already tried to 
outsource/offshore their writing to cut-rate contractors once and has 
suffered the consequences of the attempt.
