Doug, several months ago I noticed the first business articles suggesting
some disenchantment with the contingent workforce. To now, most articles
in the business press has suggested that all aspects of the contingent
workforce are wholly positive. The critical pieces focused on two
problems: the problem of dishonesty and outright theft by contingent
workers because they have no commitment to the job and the inability of
contingent workers to do as good a job as regular employees and as
draining work resources because they need guidance as to how to perform
their jobs.
