Temporary workers becoming permanent part of job scene - but blooming industry carries troublesome trade-offs
...
Layoffs sap employee morale, and companies often lose good, permanent employees who won't tolerate such a battlefield atmosphere, says Neil Dean, owner of Deans Temporary Office Systems in Seattle.
``People are still talking about the Boeing layoffs, and that was 15 years ago,'' he says. ``Think of how much better off they'd be had they used temporary workers.''
...
``There's no comfort zone. Permanent employees can get kind of lax,'' says Dean. ``The temporary is always on the line.''
...
Dean predicts a healthy 15 to 20 percent growth for Puget Sound temporary-service firms next year. He says be believes that continued economic growth should attract several new national firms to Seattle.
``Everybody's making a living now, so the next wave is coming,'' Dean says. |
