It provides a specific example of the power imbalance between Googlers and non-Googlers. It provides some facts on how temps make less money, have different benefits and receive no paid vacation in the US. Probably far-fetched, but it may be hoping to convince some people to engage with their elected representatives on stricter laws for companies who employ a lot of contractors. Why is this not newsworthy?
- ng12 7y agoBecause it's literally business as usual. Companies do not have to offer benefits in the US, Google or no.
- radmuzom 7y agoAll the more reason to publish it, raise awareness and try to change the status quo.
- DiogenesKynikos 7y agoThat's why it's newsworthy. A lot of people don't know that this is what "business as usual" looks like.
- CydeWeys 7y agoCompanies shouldn't be providing benefits anyway. It's a terrible model. Much better for the government to be providing healthcare for all than to have it unnecessarily tied up with employment. The United States is unusual in this regard because of a historical quirk of tax evasion.
