It’s expected. The companies of this size don’t really care about contractors. Probably think it’s government’s issue to deal with.

- true_religion 7y agoContractors theoretically get paid more to deal with this sort of thing on their own. Subcontractors are employees of someone else, so it’s that companies responsibility.

- michaelt 7y agoIf 'contractor' always meant "financially sophisticated professional who is well prepared to weather this storm" I would agree with you. Can't take extra pay in lieu of benefits then insist on the benefits too! However, contractor status is often also used as a way to bypass minimum-wage laws for cleaners, moderators and suchlike. People in this position might not be prepared to weather the storm; and some people are sympathetic to their plight.
