The article also attempts to paint them as overworked and abused and treated differently because they were contractors. Having worked in the big tech industry as a contractor, their description of contractor treatment and workload is pretty normal (no employee perks, quotas, etc.). This is due more to Vizcaino vs. Microsoft [1] than any sort of abusive contractor agenda. 1. http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1185&context=btlj http://scholarship.law.berkeley.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?arti...

Of course contractors are treated differently. If they were treated identically to employees, the IRS would probably have some questions. They knew they were signing up for contractor position. Frankly, they were lucky to get any benefits at all. The article fails to provide any evidence of abuse though. The worst that Facebook did was not inviting them to company happy hours.
