Google to Make Security Guards Employees, Rather Than Contractors
I think this is a good move.I understand the tax incentives/accounting behind it, but I still feel it's kind of shady to hire "contractors" for positions that are indefinite. I think contractors should be for the time you need a bunch of hands or brains to get something done for a few months, but using contractors for years on end is just abuse of the system and demeaning for the person.Who do you think is going to be more loyal and do a better job with your security, someone who always feels like an outsider, or someone who is protecting "their" own company?
