I had dinner with a friend and his mother (who I also know) tonight. In the conversation, she mentioned that her other son, who lives in Texas, had just found a job–he is a computer engineer who, for the last few years, has been working in a series of temporary jobs as a contract employee with salary but no benefits. His previous job ended a week ago, and he was very pleased to get a new job, a “real job” his mother explained with salary, benefits and no expiration date. Why am I telling this? Oh, the firm who hired him is from India. They are located there, and he is in Texas–a new twist on in-sourcing.
