Thread regarding Morneau Shepell Inc layoffs

Canada encourages JIT business models. Canada’s concern is not its citizen’s insecurities: food, water, housing, employment, safety… – lip service is the new Wizard – the new façade. Many organizations are surviving using Just-In-Time – JIT services: using the pool of available consultants that are what is technically known as "benched". As a benched consultant your services are not being utilized aka the company cannot bill, earn money off you - technically you are an expense, not an asset – it is easy to terminate your services because your services are no longer needed. Fijitsu used to employ many employees with an assortment of talents - but then went to the JIT business model. The CGIs; PwCs; Morneau Shepells; KPMGs; Deloittes...and the countless others are following in Fijutsu's footsteps...but realizing that a Potemkin staff is still required to give semblance that someone is running the business, that there is more than just the “brick and mortar” only those with the title of Director, VP are kept on with a salary – Tier 1 employees. Companies don’t need to keep any of the Tier 2 employees on their payroll because these days it is so easy with Canada’s labour laws to terminate - so many people are expendable, disposable…fill the pool of available unemployed – large pools of people, skills exist – fishing expeditions are the norm: just fish the pools to fill, replace, build teams.
