I work with contractors in engineering. Only one that I know of was told he is leaving because his time was almost up anyway. All the others were told they are staying. They are a different animal it seems while the rest of us are thrown to the wolves.

@a9 I’m a contractor and I make over twice that. I’m a W-2 employee of a staffing agency so I have some benefits, but they’re not great. I also make overtime. The lack of stability blows, but we live in a capitalist hellscape so FTEs don’t have stability anymore, either. It all su-ks.
@ad truth
@a9 Some make over twice that, but yea, no benefits.
Be nice to the contractors, you'll be one soon.
RIF's have nothing to do with contractors or SOW
@a4 lol the contractors are the ones that previously took the VSP and are getting paid again
@a5 Really?? They make $35 to $40 an hour with no vacation and sick days and no benefits. Do you honestly think their day is coming?
Calm down they're next under the microscope. Those cuts are coming.
I call BS. Most of the contractors I know have been with the company a long time and know their stuff. Have fun getting stuff done without them.
I think the company is more inclined to keep the contractors and get rid of full-time employees. Verizon does not have to pay for their benefits, etc..
Not going there.
Are you under Shankar/ Vaiveek’s org?
