  1. I have a few things to say here... 1) Being contract worker ain't that bad. That is actually employers playing with fire, cause being a contractor is one step from giving up on the job market altogether and starting a business of your own and at that moment, the employers have lost. Cause entrepreneur can go multinational if need be. He/she can't be so easily controlled. And if there is little difference in monetary security between jobs and entrepreneurship, then going the route, that gives more options is the way people will take. 2) There is long term problem I think everywhere on Earth (except the Netherlands, they typically cover commuting expenses), that the commute is not considered work, yet, it is time spent by the employee on work. So you and your fellow HR professionals need to get political and push for commute to be considered on duty time. The moment, corporations will have to pay for all the time employee spends on tasks related to work, is the moment, when the employers shut up about working from the office. 3) We need employees to get more vengeful, when this happens. We need more "whistleblowers" out there, so that upon layoffs, the FTC, IRS, OHSA and other interesting accronyms get working these companies. Bonus points if the CEO then has to explain them selves to both FBI and the CIA.
