Maybe a few people managed to outsource their own job and sit in the middle for a bit. But that's not the common story, the common story is that your employer cut out the middle man and outsourced all the jobs. The same thing will happen here.

The trick is to register an LLC, and then get your employer to outsource the work to your consulting company. You get laid off, and then continue to work through your company.

Only mild sarcasm, as this is essentially what happens.
