The big company I work for isn't doing what you said. They acquired a big company last year. They also have multiple business units which are being merged. Still not aggressively changing full time employees, nor changing roles into temp ones. They have recently starting to insource some of the IT again (less IBM).

Google doesn't do this either. As discussed elsewhere in the thread, most of the vendors at Google are in nontech roles like food service, security, and maintenance/facilities.
