Because a long, long time ago, some temps sued and ruined it for the rest of us? Or, you know, because large companies relied too much on contingent staff, so time limits had to be imposed. Take your pick of the two, truth is somewhere in the middle, as always.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Was that the brouhaha about using temps like regular staff?

brillig
Gods, I worked at a company like that, they never hired people for new positions, they always got temps and if they liked the person then they'd hire them--though not necessarily for the job they were doing. All jobs were only publicized in house, unless it was something highly specialized.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Plei, if you guys want to stop in SF on your way to LA, we'll feed you.
morning.
And yup, not only are WW and SN both Sorkin shows (I adore both and gave the SN DVD to Nic at Christmas), but there's the great character spillover. Donna Moss on WW? Same actress had a beautiful smackdown of Casey on SN for not thanking the Wardrobe department. Jeremy, of course, Josh Malina, is now Will Bailey on WW. And Felicity Huffman did a two or so episode arc on WW as a nasty Republican strategist.

We might do SF on the way back. We've not decided yet.

Well, if the LA thing is Memorial Day weekend, we may be down there ourselves. Nic actually gets a day off and I've been jonesing for a big breakfast at Nate & Al's.

Am-Chau, Rebecca, your slash is coming along nicely. I've made a change: GBS is now Bram Stoker. Heheheheheh....
I'm enjoying myself thoroughly.
