#1 Rooters had reported last month that Boeing was considering offering voluntary layoffs to its professional engineers and technical workers.

Lockheed Martin doing the same thing in Atlanta. They'll soon be hiring new, younger employees at lower wages and benefits, or no benefits at all. The monthly savings will more than cover the buy-outs. The demographic metrics of professional engineers and technical workers leans heavily toward people of privilege, which is never a good thing. Temp or contract help is the new normal.

#6 And of course 'the Interns', who work for no salary or benefits. Subsidized by parents, Gov work-study programs or hostile agencies, "for the professional networking and resume-building experience".

An exploitation of the social engineering strategy that gets them inside the firewall.
