Given the state of employee rights in the US (compared to the UK - i.e how quickly you can hire and fire people) I actually think that's not far off from the situation right now. |
I personally really like this model, and it would work very well if we got rid of employer-based health insurance. I've worked in several companies where sometimes they hire on temporary workers or LTE people and just keep them on year after year . . . I've done this myself, and it can be a win-win situation. But currently, most people won't do this because of the insurance issue.
