Because of this dark side, we need better laws and protections for temps, contract workers and others being unfairly exploited or in need of more economic security.  Despite the book's hyperbole, vitriol and one-sided point of view, I genuinely enjoyed it.   And Raw Deal does a great job describing the dark side.

I started out as a temp and figured I’d pay my dues, network, and hop to another company or department. I was okay with getting paid money for it because being organized and on top of things wasn’t so much a “hobby,” but a belief and value I lived by. You are organized, pay attention to detail, and are borderline anal retentive.
