[rescue] Career Rescue (was DEC Pro 350, or something)

Sounds like scabbing to me.

Not having issues with you here, but rather with employers.

My past experience has been that companies still hire
contractors even when they're laying off, because some of
the work that laid off workers were doing still needs to
get done.  Contractors are appealing to companies because
they tend to be "lower maintenance" than employees; they
don't come with all the "stuff" that goes along with having
employees (tax withholding, social security, FLRB rules,
equal opportunity regulations, other icky stuff); somebody
else deals with all the "stuff."  It's also easier to get
rid of malcontents and non-producers if they're contractors.
