That's a good point. I wasn't trying to say they should have offered these benefits to everyone, but sometimes it seemed like the contractors were just ghosts.

It would have been nice to at least have these activities mentioned somewhere so you had some idea of what was going on (and if contractors were or weren't included). Sometimes the full-time employees would all get up to go do something and you had no idea what was going on (and if you should go with them or stay back).
