What should happen is that some people shift to continued support, and some move to a new project. If a company really needs workers only for a short time, they should hire contractors who can then move to something else afterwards. Treating employees as disposable like this is not just super disrespectful, it's also a poor use of resources strategically.

    A) People complain when companies hire contractors to get around creating full-time employment with benefits.

    B) For project-based industries, this is how the gig economy works. Movie studios don't employ very many full time people. They hire people for a project, and when the project is finished a lot of those people just go off and do whatever is next with whomever will pay. They tried having a full stable of people (actors would be locked to a studio for all their movies), but that didn't work out well.
