I'm working from home today because I have the flu, but I really need to be in the office for face-to-face meetings. My job was cut at Ford, back in 2007 and I took the salaried employee buyout. More than %30 of the salaried employees were cut, jobs were outsourced but contractors were safe. I don't know of any contractors who were cut. I'm now a contractor/consultant and it's not all it's cracked up to be not by any stretch of the imagination. I can be cut any time and then have to hit the streets looking for my next assignment and my company takes a healthy cut from my billing rate. It's better than being unemployed, but not by much. The last 5 years have been incredibly stressful for me...just like many, many others...
