By definition, don't all contractors have to generally not work from an office? Otherwise it's very easy to deem them full-time employees and they are entitled to benefits. Not sure of Facebook's specific situation or what roles they are contracting, but I'd imagine most of them aren't at HQ.

- jabroni_salad 7y agoThey're just permatempts. Every company has them these days. The content moderators specifically work out of an Accenture office and aren't really contracted to facebook. They are Accenture's w-2 employees.
- tathougies 7y ago> They are Accenture's w-2 employees. Then Accenture should be giving them allowance to work from home, not facebook.
- xyzzyz 7y agoThese contractors at tech companies typically are full-time employees, they're just full time employees at other companies. The setup is that Facebook, or Google, has a contract with company like Accenture, which in turns provides its own full-time employees to do some work on FB/Google projects.
