i agree that most consultancies are bloodsuckers, but u can't just blame onthem and act innocent. you knew how they did business, and how u got your projects, now that the things are not working cuz of the recession, you're an innocent victim. that don't make sense. take responsibily of your situation, they used u and u used them to get jobs and to maintain status, and some company used u both to get cheap labor without giving full benefits of a regular company. problem lies withing us. we're just greedy deep down.
