> To generalize, the title can be "What It’s Like to Work Inside Company X's subcontractor." Not just as a subcontractor. I used to work for a very large company, and it was just as bad as a full-time employee (and even worse for contractors!). Both of these statements applied there: > One described the workplace as depressing and quiet, with everyone on edge. > “There were many people who took initiative and made things, increased the efficiency. They weren’t rewarded in any way,” he says. “There were people who had abandoned any hope. They’d come in late, leave early, and just do nothing all day. They were treated the same as everyone else.” It was absolutely horrible, and I will never let a firm get inside my head like that again.
