Re: Why contract these days?
IBM is doing this in the UK now, and has been for a while. Delivery Managers have to load furlough plans with a minimum of 2 weeks per quarter per FTE contractor. When accounts / sectors miss the targets contractor hires / extensions are suspended or take monumental effort.
Doesn't seem to matter if it impacts customers... people are just told to keep it hush from the client.
