This has become a huge standard practice around here also, most likely related to taxes and healthcare.

It's all about less people doing more work, someone retires quits or is fired, no replacement is hired untill temps are needed to fill peak demands.

The people being crushed, and the companys know this, are the senior workers with 10-20 years in, and a bunch of benefits including vacation.

I know of a few people in this situation working up to a mandated 60 hours a week.



Obamunism at work.
