Isn't the title a bit misleading? It's not the end of employees, it's allowing other entities to specialize in the 'HR' side of things - staffing, payroll, etc, and then contracting with those entities. There are still 'employees' in that sense, they are just 'employees' of the contracting firm.
- bena 8y agoYeah, but there's less permanency. If I'm contracting a company to do X, who they get to do it could change day by day. So I can hire an agency to outsource something to for like a three year contract. That company then churns employees every 6 months under some slightly sketchy practices. Not as worrisome with certain skilled jobs, but for unskilled jobs, it's kind of a rough deal. Drives wages down while the contractor can still charge decent fees. That and the contractee can terminate at any time basically.
