It probably won’t be that analogous. I suspect that having the parallel, contract labor force is at least somewhat about exerting additional control over those employees that are actually permanent. A kind of implicit threat that your employment status can be downgraded.
- Aloha 7y agoI think the threat of firing is more relevant - no one gets downgraded to a contractor, you just get pushed out the door
