That’s dumb. I work with contractors who I consider not only my team mates (we work on the same shit) but also my friends. We play games together after work sometimes and chat once in a while on zoom. They give demos, leadership gives them kudos, and they feel part of the team. Contractors are team mates with a different employment structure but if we’re in the trenches together that distinction gets thrown out.
