It’s not actually $40 an hour in my experience. It’s closer to $25 and even then the amount of stress and responsibility you have is absurd for being a lowly contractor.

A company that is determined to treat people as "human resources" will not be deterred just because you complain. It will be deterred only by failure. So let them fail and in the meantime use their failure as a means to get a leg up yourself.

- shadowgovt 4y agoHello should that number be before we as a society accept it? 1% is staggeringly high. That's one and a half million people. If our system operates on exploiting one and a half million people, we should change that system.
