  • The place I work (a multinational company but not one you’ve probably heard of) has been hiring almost exclusively “contractors” for a while.

    They hire someone to be a software developer or qualify assurance engineer or whatever, but via a third party staffing company. Then that person acts exactly like a full time employee - goes to meetings, does work, reports to a boss - except they don’t get the same benefits as full timers.

    This seems like it shouldn’t be legal, but most people are too worried about losing their job to push much about it.
