So Jo's query about a closed list for Employer discussion and subsequent 
pointer to glassdoor lands me at this subject.

It *was* my opinion that it was legally dodgy in California to hire a temporary 
for a long term position in order to avoid paying the benefits commensurate 
with permanent positions. But now I'm not so sure what to think of this. I 
currently see a System Administrator position advertised in writing via a 
glassdoor link as:
  "This is a long term temporary position with ${employer}".

The usual wording I see to justify it is that a Permatemp position is OK as 
long as it is for "project" work, i.e., the position has an objective start and 
end.  However, in the cases I'm aware of, including the ad I quoted above, it's 
not for a specific project. 


Are other folks seeing this permatemp hiring trend out there for core IT 
positions, including sysadmins?
